ok, so I am not like official or anything, but I love the idea of an Other creature.

I have thought of several, all fairly balanced, so here is a chance for me to work with all of you, making an Other Creature, as defined and desired by the player base.

To start with, lets set some rules:

We are going in stages, to do this right. We will keep working on this together until we get to the smithy and beg zan to implement. To start, we will decide basically how big it should be, how hard it is to cast, and if it has starting passive or active abilities. We will define what those abilities are later.

I will wait a few days, then create some initial art based on your feedback.

So, part the first, lets get me some numbers to make a card image from. The name is open to debate as well.
I think it should be pretty useful in all decks and fun to play. I tend to prefer giant mutant dracolich kings with ungodly stats, but thats my prefference, what kind of Other creature do you guys think there should be, and should it be a single creature, a set of similar powered but different use creatures, or a set of differently sized creatures like regular elements?


the first incarnation of our mercury golem is a simple 1 quanta casting cost non flying no ability 1|1 weaker than a photon drop of mercury. ok go.

I think for Other, it shouldn't be a set of different sized creatures, but similar creatures statwise. If you were to make creatures like every other element, then it wouldn't fit Other, it would just be a different element. Since each element already has a dragon, I think Other should go at it from another direction, maybe having creatures that rely more on variable stats or a special type of skill rather than trying to outdo the dragons. As for the name, how do you feel mercury being representative of elemental neutrality?
