IDEA:
OdinVanguard
NOTES:
"Today is a good day to embrace your wild side."

"Don't be afraid to call out for help today, you may be surprised who will answer! But be careful, you may be in for brawl of epic proportions"


"Affordable" means that the cost of the card is no greater than the player's available quanta in the appropriate pool.
(Photons and sparks are always options since they cost no quanta)

E.g. if you had 3 :life in your pool you could get a giant frog, cockatrice, rustler, photon, or spark.

The creatures are selected after the card cost is deducted but before the remaining :entropy and :life quanta is consumed.

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`

Does the upped card generate upped creatures?

If so, ball lightning + fractal is now obsolete ;)

Reminds of an old nature documentary where a man had become one with the animals. They ate him after wards and resumed their plan to eat everyone else.  :D
This is very special. However, it fits more with Aether and Darkness if you think about it. Fractal and Nightmare. Also, what does entropy have to do with this card?

The randomness of the creatures which are put in each player's hand is entropy-fulfilling. I like this card very much. Does it base the "creatures you can pay for" off of your quanta amounts before or after the quanta cost is considered?

The creatures are selected after the card cost is deducted but before the remaining :entropy and :life quanta is consumed.
...probably should have given an example *forehead palm slap*

So if you had 11 :life then cast the unupgraded version it would look for all creatures that cost 2 :life or less.

I'm a little torn for that exact reason, but since upped SoSe does this will too...
B.L. + fractal is much safer than this card... you could end up giving your opponent as many creatures as yourself if you aren't careful with this card.
Basically, you would either need to time this carefully or use it in some kind of a denial deck. Otherwise you will give your opponent a slew of new monsties to try and eat your face with.

I was debating putting it into dark + aether, but its a little more double edged than nightmare. It always gives your opponent creatures they can actually play.
This card is also more random than fractal. Fractal clones a single type of creature whereas this gives you a random assortment depending on the distribution of quanta in your pool.
It actually shows off a contrast between :aether and :entropy : :aether -> uniformity, :entropy -> diversity

I do think that this card could synergize very well with nightmare since you could use nightmare to first fill your opponent's hand with junk so that you can play this card safely.

Dark and Aether are very indirect elements, gaining minute advantages. They enjoy thier predictability and maths. A card that basically says "I give everyone random stuff you can't predict" would freak Aether and Darkness mages out. They couldn't predict that happening! They don't know what on earth the enemy's doing now! Aether and Entropy would be trying to direct randomness, trying to exploit the randomness to make it work MOST of the time, but not all.
I'd say that Entropy-Life still represents this card the best because of the burst of random, untamed life, that you'll then guide that is directly done on the card is something mad entropy wants and helpful life wants.
 :entropy :aether would represent the uses for the card, and the meta for the card.  :entropy :life would represent the card itself.

That weird note aside, the card looks fun. Trippy, but fun.
Although I don't really see too many uses.

Yes, I went with :entropy :life for pretty much exactly the reasons you mentioned.

The uses I would see for this card in a deck would be in either duos or bows where you have a lot of off element quanta. It would work great with nightmare and SoBr so that you could clog the enemy hand first.

It could also make a very fun addition to SoSe and Fate Egg based decks or provide fodder for fallen elves / fallen druids.

What happens if your opponent has Sanc up? They don't get creatures?

Interesting... the card "Give" might actually find utility! lol. Trick them into using a Sanc and then roll them over with a critter bulldozer :D

I guess this would become a counter to a card that is meant as a counter to something else. Go go Meta-mindgames
