ART:

IDEA:
Anonymous
NOTES:
This is designed to be sort of like phoenix. It is perhaps the only creature that has high health in its default state and low attack. By switching its stats, I mean that ts attack and hp are swapped, so it would be 10|1 when this skill is activated, but it would return to 1|10 at the end of the turn so that even powerful spells will have a tough time taking it down.

But this fits the name of Phaethon and it is the character of :fire. Do you have another name for a superior being of  :fire then?

Searched Phaethon, he seems to fit in :light. Phaethon means 'shining' in greek.

I know. But Phaethon rode the horses with the sun chariot and burned Africa to form deserts. Phaethon by definition also means a reckless equestrian or a person who may end the world in fire.

Φαεθόνος (Phaethonos) is the person.

Φαεθόν (Phaethon) is the term.

I just love Greek.

But I rly want Phaethon :'(. I appreciate your help, but they sound more of like a Titan. I want somewhat in between.

Like demigod, it is a superior being.

To comment on the actual card itself, I have to ask what exactly the effect accomplishes. Flooding is a card exists that already exists in the game. This card deals effectively infinite damage to the outer edges every turn, far more damage, for a much cheaper cost and much cheaper upkeep, and much less vulnerable because Flooding is not a expensive 2 HP creature but is instead a permanent.

And flooding is from what I've seen widely considered UP. Flooding does have very specific restrictions that let a couple things get through on the far side of a blue moon, but by and large this isn't why it is considered UP.

tl;dr: If flooding is superior to this card in nearly every way, and flooding is considered massively UP, what does that say of how effective this card would be?

A fire equivalent to flood eh? ... Flood interactions could be fun... if you can find room in text that is.
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`
