Kitsune | Kitsune

NAME: Kitsune ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 4 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 4|1 TEXT: Appears as Schrödinger's cat to the opponent. : Kitsune Spawn a Kitsune	NAME: Kitsune ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 4|1 TEXT: Appears as Schrödinger's cat to the opponent. : Kitsune Spawn a Kitsune

ART: vrt IDEA: Hyroen NOTES: Pretty straight forward. AI may possibly treat it as a Kitsune depending on the level. (AI3 may have a 50% chance of treating it as a Kitsune, while AI2 would have a 40% chance) The effect of a card such as Nightmare or Fractal will fill up the hand with the card that the user of the spell can see. Therefore, if the opponent plays Nightmare on your Kitsune, your hand will be filled up with Schrödinger's cat. Any buffs played on Kitsune will similarly be added to the illusionary Schrödinger's cat. If Antimatter is played on it, it would function normally, inverting the illusionary cat's attack but actually using the inverted Kitsune's attack to heal. Pay attention to the game, as this can be quite the trickster. SERIES:

In PvP, would the card only 'appear' to be the cat, but still deal visible damage and pay quanta costs of the Kitsune? (Sort of like how Cloak doesn't hide the most recent cards your opponent plays.)

Player illusion cards like these are fun to design - I find this take on the concept very interesting since it goes in a different direction than the ' mirage ' take on the idea I saw a few times before.

[Hyroen]

Indeed. It will essentially just always appear like a Schro. cat to the opponent. 4 | 3 will still be removed as a cost and it will still show, the 4 damage will also show, instead of 1. As Entropy likes to be the realm of chaos and distortion, I like illusions falling in this element. I think Light should do something different, unless paired with Entropy.

What does its ability:
"      : Kitsune " do?

[Hyroen]

The ability Kitsune will be as if Mitosis was played on Kitsune, but it would cost 3 | 2 . I've considered possibly replacing this skill with others, though it does seem fitting for this little trickster.

Ah, I see...
Might I suggest something like:
"Kitsune appears to be a schordinger's cat to opponent.
  : Kitsune
 Create a copy of Kitsune"

That way players will know what the ability does.

[andretimpa]

Well, the fact that the cats are multiplying should be a strong tip (specially if there is any visual effect every time the ability is used).

I like the idea, but if it ever gets in the game I can see lots of noobs complaining about hackers using Schrodinger's cat

[Drake_XIV]

Why not just call it Mitosis?

[Hyroen]

Wording never seems to be my forte.

And calling it Mitosis would connote that the skill, when used, is as if I used Mitosis on the target, which is not the case.

EDIT: Updated the card with better wording and explaining the skill. ^_^

So the ability is just for mitosis. To be honest, I never really did like illusionistic cards like this. Any good player will be able to discern the difference, and so will the AI unless it's specifically programmed not to, in which case this card feels like purely an anti-AI card. The idea of hiding can be done, but hiding as a cat? Who really uses cats in entropy rushes to hide a precious 4|1 mitosis-er?

[Zaealix]

I'm almost tempted to suggest a series of critters that hides as a particular 'masked' creature, like...Basically, instead of a single  creature, there could be several versions, each one with it's own power, but the opponent only sees a colourless creature with the stats. (Stats would have to be the same for this, idea is eeeevil in rainbows, since you could then run multiple different Kitsune colours.)
So far, I'd make this one and call it 'Clone Kitsune', while another one might be  and be known as 'burning Kitsune', and maybe an airborne air element 'Flying Kitsune'...
Hehehe, I definatly like the idea.
