Hard to use since you can't buff it. Paying any quanta to do 2 damage is very weak. Seems it'd force a combo with SoPa (Some kind of Warden thing where the Wardens target Juggernaut? Or Otys)

Something about the name Juggernaut suggests to me that this card should have momentum, moreover Juggernauts generally have relatively high health levels, maybe raise the health to 5, maybe 6, however with the current ability this would really have no purpose. Also, how would this card react to Area of Effect spells (ie pandemonium, plague, rain of fire, dryspell, thunderstorm) where the card isnt actually targeted? Would it cancel the entire spell, or have no effect?

If it doesn't target, it has no effect on Juggernaut. And I would agree that it's a bit weak. The opponent has no incentive to target it, and there's not much you would waste on it yourself for that little bit of damage. I'd rather use a bolt directly on the opponent. That said, I do see more use for the upped - some easy ability like Guardian Angel's Heal that's run off the mark makes this akin to 4 extra poison damage each turn. And 1 for 4 damage isn't a bad cost, in fact, it's equivalent to an upped shockwave.

Similar to SoFree in that mass CC still affects it. Unupped is less effective than immaterial creatures because they can be targeted by SoW and thus bypass shields (and get a useful attack stat in the process), and won't buckle to mass CC. Furthermore, even Immortal has x2 attack. Upped one would be nice if it wasn't for the fact that upped Gravity has Elite Charger, the only truly efficient rusher in the entire element (Guard is a good rusher but fails to shields).

Good mechanism, mostly useless stats. I can see people using the upped one over Guard at times. Does Gravity need this? Yes, considering soft CC (especially RT). Does Life need this more? Yeah x)
