Not a standalone card.

Each woodpecker will hurt two redwoods on your side if they're available. If they aren't available it will make do with a single. If there's not a single one it dies.

may help to do a simulation of the damage output before they are removed.  it looks like the damage efficiency is going to be off the charts at a glance

Note that the woodpecker would feed before it attacks, ideally. Not sure if this is possible codewise.

Yeah, I know these cards will both probably need balancing with regards to damage/health.
With one redwood:
Turn 1: 0 Damage
Turn 2: 4 Damage total, 19 health.
Turn 3: 12 Damage total, 15 health.
Turn 4: 24 Damage total, 7 health.
Turn 5: 40 Damage total, 0 health.

With two redwoods:
Turn 1: 0 Damage
Turn 2: 8 Damage total, 17 health each.
Turn 3: 24 Damage total, 9 health each.
Turn 4: 48 Damage total, 0 health each.

Aged:
Turn 1: 0 Damage
Turn 2: 4 Damage total, 23 health.
 Turn 3: 12 Damage total, 17 health.
 Turn 4: 24 Damage total, 8 health.
 Turn 5: 36 Damage total, 0 health.

2x Aged:
Turn 1: 0 Damage
Turn 2: 8 Damage total, 20 health each.
Turn 3: 24 Damage total, 8 health each.
Turn 4: 36 Damage total, 0 health.

So yeah, obviously needs some balancing. Maybe make them deal the same damage to redwood as their attack, and change the giant woodpecker to 3 attack.

Why would you further hurt the upped version? It already seems worse, as both woodpeckers are 4|1 and the only advantage the upped woodpecker has is a slightly better CC. They also eat the tree faster (one unupped lives for 5 turns (I think), one upped lives 4). It is OP right now, but don't nerf the upped too much.

(Side note: I'm back, and... yeah.)
