ART:
artwork in progress
IDEA:
lord midnight
NOTES:
i thought of this as an ability for a different game but thought it would be neat to see how this would work in the elements world, i checked the board and saw the passive ability challenge so this is my entry. i kinda think the upped should actually steal one of the cards, but that is probably overpowered.

the art below is temporary, i made the incard image. i can change it quite a bit as the card develops.

I would say  :aether or  :time since it is basically similar to mind gate but also potentially the reverse of rewind or precognition.

I like this heaps, it would go nicely with hourglass.
seems expensive though for a creature that isnt immaterial, has a passive skill, has low attack of 2-4 and average hp 3-5.
if you compare to GotP which has 6-7 cost for 7-9 atk/4 hp with passive ability, its slightly expensive.

I would say 5 unup. and 4 up.
the rest is fine.

do you think the ability should actually steal a card or just copy it?
do you think it should go to the bottom, or inserted randomly in your deck?

copy, and bottom.
why?

imagine fractalling these with the cost i suggested.
you will constantly receive cards at the bottom of your deck, meaning, that all you have to do is keep drawing cards with hourglass and if you are fortunate to have a time nymph, with precog.
that way, you have a totally new arsenal of cards and will NEVER deck out if you use quintessence on one of these.
meaning it should go into  :time in that case.

well i kinda wanted to spread out the effect across the elements, but time is a good choice, as for why actually steal, i thought it suite death best, as another way to slowly kill your opponent.

the fractal possibility and thefact that this really helps stop deck out is why i made it costly.

if it really steals one i say death, if just a copy, aether, like mind gate, or time, to augment its abilities, but i really lean to death and attempting to steal, to cause a deckout win, death is good at winning in multiple ways.

oh yeah, added early art.

typo on card. Place A copy of a card goes to the bottom of your deck.

I reckon at least make it have 5 attack upped and 4 hp upped, that would fix it, since you can just quint it.


 

anything
