ART: No art IDEA: AD TienzuStorm NOTES: Updated this to be better. Maybe this will work better since it's in an element with hard CC. Designed to work well with the death effect cards, like Boneyard and Soul Catcher. Soul Catcher technically allows for this to be used for every Skeleton on the field while gaining or equal to the number of Skeletons eaten, but meh. Perhaps this one is instead OP rather than UP. Who knows. Also, a Lammergeier is a kind of vulture that eats bones. Speaking of Vultures, this may or may not overshadow it. Spoiler for old stuff for Cemetery: The idea came to me after I thought of how Rustler was the only card that had a multi use ability. Might be OP considering how death effects are utilized in Death, but hopefully the cost will help balance it out. The Skeleton doesn't have to be on your field. It can also obviously destroy Elite Skeletons as well. Was a bit worried about how it has no synergy in element, but then like Crusader, Phase Salvager, and almost every card with an out of element ability cost CHANGES: Spoiler for Version One: Spoiler for Version Two:

Weapon swarms aren't a thing, silly!

...

No, seriously. Skeletons are really hard to make. What does this serve?

[Sera]

Generating more death effects, which is actually pretty useful, but this cost is pretty prohibitive and is in an element that has no hard CC.

[Manuel]

imo extend the effect to every "dead" creature, like mummy, schrodinger's cat (maybe 50% on him), ghost of the past, vampire and lycanthrope, or lower the cost to one  for the effect.

a  stall can be really cool with this card, even if u are forced to use plague and aflotoxin as CC

[Treldon]

Have to agree with Espi on this one. Skellies don't swarm and don't do much either. Why not make it something broader like "all undead"?

[AD TienzuStorm]

Updated with lower cost all around to make it more usable.

The idea was for a card with a reusable death effect skill that was reasonably difficult to use but could be powerful given how strongly Death can utilize death effects.

Obviously the first draft was pretty bad. So now here it is with one | two less summoning cost and one less ability cost.

As far as letting it extend to all "dead" creatures, that has too much gray space for my liking. If there's an official list with an actual term for it, then sure I'd do that, but I don't like to use a term that isn't really official. Especially in card ideas.

[Ginyu]

Compare.

[Submachine]

I can't really find a good earth-death duo to make this work. How about making this a Darkness card?

[AD TienzuStorm]

Updated again~

Completely remade this time, now a creature in Air.

This time, I'm getting very strong OP vibes, but I can say that about the Cemetery and look how that worked out

All the targeting rules of Cemetery apply to Lammergeier (ex. the Skeleton doesn't have to be on your field)

Thoughts?

[Manuel]

3  for a 5/2 with a decent ability is probably too much

make it 3/2 | 4/2, both 3  or make it cost 4 

[Espithel]

3  for a 5/2 with a decent ability is probably too much

[Hyroen]

This is oddly similar to Vulture and furthermore has mechanics which are questionable in Air.
