NOTES:
Yeah, entropy, much wow. Thanks to eljoe for coming up with the name to fit my idea. So Sidhe is an irish mythological vengeaful fairy. Abouut the idea itself, abomination is a really degraded hitter, and I would like to see something more chaotic and interesting, so I came up with this idea, fair hitter, low cost but with a price! An entropy, random price! I believe the ability talks by itself.

I like it :D. But with an average of only 4.5 damage done to you, I'd say increase cost to 3 :entropy ? Doesn't reduce the rushiness at all IMO.

6 for 2, losing ~5 HP, which can be easily healed with some offcolour...

Probably won't work in a mono, but not bad.
I like... I would increase the ATK and HP just slightly, because losing HP for somewhat marginal amounts of damage just to have it bolted isn't a nice feeling, and increasing the ATK... I would personally still prefer micro abomination over this.

I know you do :p No, entropy has a buff by 1 cost in these kinds of cards, its how we made with the dictator my entropy shield.

@Frozengaia, so you would even increase the attack! Okay, two different opinions in that, melikes. Well if you prefer m. abomination over that cool what can I say, in any way I thought it could be a good addition to entropy's arsenal.

Cool deck I can think of: Sidhe + CP + antimatter (it works well with micro abominations, should work better with this and antimatter would mitigate the downside of the card)

Yes, antimatter and in general healing combine quite well with Sidhe. Do you like the card?

Plays this along with a  Singularity to get your opponent the quanta they need. Nightmare them then use SoSac if they have played these.

Will it heal you if you use SoSac? Would probably be op if it worked that way (or the only viable option for competitive play if you balance around that)

Use singularity so that it novas the opponent, then play this. Nightmare this, then if opponent plays these there damaged, if not well there hands blocked for a turn, and pretty full.

The problem is that SoSac will drain all your :entropy. This is already very competitive as it currently is.

I'm pretty sure summoning the singualrity is going to kill you way faster (even SoSac doesn't save you from it)

Poisons the singularity.

Sosac drains your  :entropy quanta. Also thr damage you take is random. But its max 6 of them you cant abuse it very much.

SoSac, supernova's, play this.

Think about the order of the cards again.

singularities with sosac and sidhe? Dude thats an impossible combo. Singus will kill you eventually. Damage wont be enough and when sosac leaves singus will take over your field and you just lose.

4/5
I actually think this card is UP in an average deck but possibly OP with some comboes.
 The reason I believe it is UP is because hp is precious and because of the randomness of damage dealt to the owner (I am not really fond of randomness). Without shields it is a great card, but with shields I am not sure it worths the risk to damage yourself via an unblockable kind of damage only to have it dealing 3-4 damage per turn, you will need some sort of healing just to play this card. I also will feel bad for the poor AI where it will keep spamming these while you have a Dim chain or a Hope, leading to an even earlier death.
 However, it brings more interesting targets for Nightmare, Mitosis & Empathic bonds (Bonds to heal the damage dealt by your own Sidhes) and even a :entropy :light duo with only :entropy quanta sources and some Holy Flashes to heal the Sidhe damage. Can't be abused by Fractal due to the damage dealt by the ability, so this is actualy a huge plus for its design. Due to the randomness and the big risk that makes this card more situational than it should be, I cut a star and it gets 4/5. Still, an awesome job, Rippy!

Thanks! So its quite balanced! It cannot be abused as OP but its definately not UP, just a cool card for :entropy methinks  ::)
