I'm going to spitball some opinions and ideas without thinking it too much.
- Overall I like the idea. It's simple and opens up many possibilities.
- Theme is a bit ambiguous but it works pretty well I think
- Art fits very nicely so no need to request new one imo
- card does something that is so close to copying that
could be a better option for element
- I think that you should be able to target ANY creature, not just enemy ones. I like the idea of playing one expensive creature and then tracing that to pay for the rest
- Main issue: unupped and upped are way too different. Upped version should be just slighty better/different, not completely different, and definitely not much worse in some cases.
The way I see it, we have two cards here. First one is
and second one is
. I would dump the upped version and go with the unupped mechanics, making card cost the only difference between the two. As an
card, it would have some fun synergy with cards like Mindgate and Fractal, as long as it could be made not too OP.
already has Nova so I think this should go to some other element.
But yea, definitely an interesting idea.
