Looking for card art: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7379.new.html#new

Current art is from free wikimedia (just google "question mark" and you'll see it)

EDIT: Card image doesn't seem to be appearing for me, I've put it's effect as an ability until I can fix that
EDIT: Added notes about players having no weapons and what happens with enchanted weapons
EDIT: Fixed card image not showing (a wizard did it...)
EDIT: Added link to card art request thread
EDIT: Changed upgraded card cost to fit with other cards

If you have no weapon, then I'd say this shouldn't work. I'll add that to the notes.

As for steal being better, yes, it probably is. But Entropy can't steal, so this is a different take on it as a substitute, with a bit more entropic twist :D

Personally, I can't think of a reason you'd want this instead of steal (unless you're not running Dark in your deck), but I'm sure someone can think of one :)

like swapping your pathetic 0/4 devourer with dive for a dragon?

Could do, but that might be very overpowered. Just have 6 bad cards in your deck, then 6 dragons, 6 Switcheroo and then swap out your crappy cards for anything they play.

Perhaps the upgraded version could swap creatures, while the unupped swaps any permanent that isn't enchanted?

This could also steal Morning Glories by the looks of how it works, another advantage but still seems underpowered.

You think being able to swap any permanent for the same cost would be better? If a weapon/shield is targeted, it swaps with your opponent's weapon/shield, does nothing if they haven't got one.

Hm... pretty good. I like it; simple and it works.

But yeah, it's quite expensive. Upped version should be down-costed to 4 :entropy.

Also, the name is really non-Elementsy. ;) I highly suggest you change it, lest "Loop-de-loop", "Zippadeedoodah" and "Yippee-yi-kay" be added to Elements.

Otherwise, great! I like it.
