IDEA:
Electrum
NOTES:
I considered making this not consume all quanta or affect creatures that weren't life but I figured it was powerful enough.  The idea is that if you have two of the same species or more in play, they create a duplicate.  If you have 4 frogs in play, it spawns two more.

Say... you have 10 frogs, you get 5 more frogs?

Forest Spirits - will it start 2|2 or with something like half the smaller power of the pair?

Explanantion:

you have 2 Forest Spirits - 1 is 10|10, the other is 14|14.
will it generate 1 1|1 Forest Spirit or a 5|5 (10 < 14; 10/2 = 5) Forest Spirit?

There is so much that can be done with this card.  I suspect the most balanced way to go about it is costing 8 :life and for every pair of creatures, another is bred.  This would be a brand new card without any effects on it, much like mitosis.  As it stands now, the card would create 4 more toads if you have 4 toads, but if you have 1, it would create none.

I could change the wording to reflect my original intention, I just can't come up with something that will fit on the cards.

All pairs of life creatures produce one offspring.

Actually, that works quite well and I could even fit in the idea that the stats reflect the weaker of the pair.  That might be too overpowered.

In any case, which do you think would make a better card of those 3 options?

i like the fact that it would reflect the weaker "parent". I'm not good with text, so you'll need help from somewhere else.

I think mitosis should cover the creature generation, this seems a bit redundant, if it does not include anything extra (stats, abilities, etc.), but that would be too complicated.
