NOTES:
This is debatable. I don't like Gravity Pull on a stick, but I'm sort of at a loss for alternate abilities. Let's avoid Black Hole if we can. Otherwise, a balanced card, I think.

There's a different take I'd like to explore:
Another option presented by Jappert:
"A kind of synthesis, but with some elements that perhaps you wouldn't have expected in advance. I always like that when that happens, when something comes that is more than the sum of the parts." —Evan Parker

"Lucky! Either your next creature can be played free of cost, or the next creature of your opponent will be double cost".

Fits the coin theme better, introduces a new effect and seems balanced to me! What do you think? :D

Ooh! Nice! This is great, as I 'd like to get away from what Gravity already has, and see what Gravity could use. I've always thought Gravity should have a money type theme. Just feels...right, to me.

does that mean this one is getting a change?
At the moment it feels to be slightly stronger than the other cards, dunno, just my feeling.

Well, Gravity is usually stronger than the others, right?

In all honesty, I don't know, is it?

I'd say yes, but that's probably because Gravity seems to be the Element my own deck has the most trouble with.

There will be changes to this card forthcoming.

I figure with 1.27, the alternate Weighted Coin might now be viable, so I posted a poll. Also still looking for suggestions. The rest of the Lucky! Series should be finished by the end of the week. (Sorry for the double post.)
