Does this not seem OP to you? Compare this with mummy. 4 + 1 for a 9 creature. Here, you're paying 3 + 1 for a 10 quanta plus creature. And, just for one more , you're getting an upped dragon. That's an average of 11.75 attack for only 5 quanta and two cards.

OP... suddenly, death decks add mark of time with RTs to play these? Also, as fur said, compare it too Mummy and it's costs.

[Drake_XIV]

Just a technicality, but RT is 2   unupped.  But yeah, I didn't really like this ability in hindsight...

[furballdn]

Unupped, it's an average of 9.4 attack for only 3 + 2|1 . OP much?

[n00b]

Just wondering why you increased the cost of the upped version because of the +1|2... imo, it could still go for the same cost as the unupped

[furballdn]

Why water? This really has nothing to do with water and flooding.

[Drake_XIV]

Well, normally, +2/0 tends to either stay the same cost or is +1.  So, if it does get the health boost, it should be +1 cost.

Well, my thought process went that it could contaminate a water source, increasin the travel of pathogens.

I like this new version... seems like an interesting card now. As with Flooding... thematically, it makes sense, but it makes it seem like you're trying to pull together a card that may be considered muuuuuuuuuuuch more powerful with Flooding. I could only imagine the stall decks made if you had 5 of these and flooding...

Well, yes, thematically, you could argue that, but in practice, it just seems tacked on and awkward.

The new version would be quite powerful in a deckout deck combined with quintessence and flooding.  Way better than the old one though!

[Rutarete]

lol, why is there a  above the first image? Though I think I know the answer...
I get the flooding aspect, but how does the infection reach the opponent's side of the field thematically? (without flooding)
