NOTES:
Requesting card art

Cards designed to strengthen synergy of Air and other elements.

The chaining concept comes from the proposed change of Nova/Supernova, although not exactly the same, but both mechanics require using the same card successively, either in one turn or in a few turns

This card is named monsoon because it brings a change in weather. The summer monsoon brings the season of growth while winter monsoon brings the season of coldness.

Since the effect of monsoon is slow and gradual, a chaining requirement is added to make it less powerful and more thematic.

I'm glad you stepped into this territory =) I've been looking into it myself.
Would you mind making a table or at least a listing of  #chains:effects?
I don't entirely understand how it's working atm.

so far I have two ideas, one is Monsoon and another is a CC spell

*A spell that increases its power if you use it successively in one single turn. Maybe the power increases from 1 to 2 and then 4 and 8 for the forth use

Anyway, what's your thoughts about Monsoon ?

I like the "chain" mechanic, could be a new way to follow.

what do you mean by "chaining"? As in when you generate a new monsoon every turn, play one from hand?

Because you can chaos power + mitosis to get lots of them every turn.

Play one from hand every turn = chaining :)

so mitosis/PU won't work. Fractal helps but that requires the third element for the chain

the effect is probably only activated after it dies
