NAME: Stampede ELEMENT: Earth COST: 6  TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: N/A ABILITY: Deal X damage to the opponent, where X is the number of creatures you control.	NAME: Overrun ELEMENT: Earth COST: 10  TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: N/A ABILITY: Do 2 damage to each of your opponents creatures, and X to them. X is the number of your creatures.

ART: http://goodandhappy.typepad.com/g_as_in_good_h_as_in_happ/images/2008/05/07/stampede.jpg IDEA: ihMSentinel NOTES: Description of Overrun is horrible, couldn't think how to word it in so little space. It means the opponent takes X damage and their creatures all take 2 damage, where X is the number of creatures you control. Also, I know it doesn't use the upped background, I'll fix it when I get the wording sorted out. Any suggestions as to how to word it? Fixed. Thx for the help =) Added 1 to cost of Overrun. SERIES: ***Insert series name and link to series page (if any)***

For Overrun, try this: "Deal X damage to opponent and 2 to each of his creatures. X is the number of your creatures."

i think it should be for every non airborne creature, cause think of it, you won't see a photon or a virus stampeding

Just an alternative that leaves out the X:  "Deal 1 damage to your opponent for each creature you control.  Enemy creatures lose 2 HP."

Comparing to Unstable Gas: Your opponent doesn't have a way to stop it unless they know its coming and use mass creature control.  Also unlike UG, it only requires 1 element to use, though creatures are needed for its effectiveness (it's sorta like the Hope of damage spells).  I don't think the 9 cost is enough to keep it from being overpowered.

A devastating deck: 6 Gnome Gemfinders, 6 Fractal, 6 Overrun

EDIT:  Reformatted for clarity.

I believe that would UP the card. On the other hand, malignant cell(and others) would OP it as it is, possibly...
Note: IMO dragons can still stampede. Not a matter of flying so much as how suited certain creatures are to stampeding XD

For the second card art picture, it needs to have the correct upgraded formatting in order for it to be accepted into the crucible methinks. Also - both BloodShadow AND smuglapse have provided much more 'concise' (or straightforward) descriptions for you to fix up the cards as well.

That said, it's a pretty fun idea... but wouldn't this be better suited for an element that specializes in creature rushes ( ) rather than a mainly defensive element ( )?

Oh, and the artist name should technically be M. Baldwin, as this (http://goodandhappy.typepad.com/g_as_in_good_h_as_in_happ/2008/05/evil-is-a-sucke.html#more) post implies that the painting was based off a original source.

unless I'm mistaken..... fractal and gemfinders use 2 different elements

Those were 2 separate thoughts/comments.  Fix'd.

Fixed. Thx for the help =) Added 1 to cost of Overrun.

Also, it being earth isn't fixed, I just thought it sorta made sense. Life could work, I suppose... are there any other elements anyone thinks suit stampede? I considered  ...
