I'd say that if the slime is destroyed would it then destroy the immaterial sword and shield. Just doing damage seems a little OP to me. Also, I think slime should be  in element.

I think it's overpowered.  Comparing to cockatrice, which is a 4/4 or 5/5 for the same cost, it has -1 attack and -2 defense for the ability to destroy the opponent's weapon and shield 100% of the time.  I suppose certain shields will result in the slime not dealing damage, but in that case it's just as useless as a cockatrice would be.  I think the best thing to do with it would be to increase the casting cost by at least 1 , maybe 2 .  The attack/defense seem fine to me, though alternately you could lower each by one and keep it costed at 3 .  Most unupgraded shields absorb 1 damage and most upgraded shields absorb 2 (if they don't just absorb everything) so even if you reduced the att/def by 1 each, it would still get through shields unless the slime was unupgraded and you were against an upgraded shield like permafrost or jade.

I feel it's OP at the moment. 3 attack gets over most shields, and 4 even more. I'd lower the attack so that it requires a buff synergy. Or maybe have the slime lose one hp every turn, because think of slime moving forward - it leaves a trail of itself behind. Make sense?

[Terroking]

Hmm, I can understand where you guys are coming from with how it's OP.

Originally I had it as a 2/4 and 3/4 for 4 when I created it but felt that was underpowered.

I did indeed use Cockatrice as comparison, but felt that when comparing to a few other cards, it was fine due to Cockatrice's advantage when the player has no shield/wep.

If the community thinks it's OP, though, I will nerf it.

The ability is probably worth 2 quanta. Since it is a control card it can have a higher cost and come out later.
Life creatures have a -1 cost.

Conclusion
Attack: 5|6
Hp: 5|7
Cast Cost: 6 |6

Updated with more balanced proposal.

Interesting card, but corrosion in concept doesnt destroy something immediately, thus corrode, it corrodes slowly.
I would suggest changing it to, permanent is destroyed in 2 turns, otherwise, Spam these with mitosis and its all over for opponents defense.

[dragonsdemesne]

This version seems pretty fair to me.  It's a card I'd still use, but it's not completely insane anymore.
