On a different note, is the artwork copyrighted?

I looked at the site it came from and I can't tell one way or another.

If it is not in the public domain, you need provide proof of the artist's consent for use here.

Sites like flikr and photo-bucket are notorious for having posts of copyrighted work... Since its just someone posting up something they like to bring others attention to it.

Unfortunately, using it here is much more restricted since it is potentially going to be used in the game if the card makes it through the polls.

Wikipedia and sxc.hu are usually better bets. There are several others (though their names escape me at the moment)

In the lower right, between "tags" and "privacy" there is a field called "license" with this link:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en

Updated the card:
  • Changed "Immaterial." to "Invisible."

The "invisible" skill appears on a couple other cards in the works -- card is not visible and targetable unless invisibility is specifically removed.

Mechanically it's very similar -- but now it can be buffed and also potentially killed.

Still not sure if it's really ready for crucible yet, considering the limited use of airborne. I might save it for a series.

Sweet, you should be good to go then! I didn't see the little license link there.


Interesting that you made it invisible. I still think targetting evasion would be fun on it, but invisibility works too. I suppose it fits the idea of a "spirit" fairly well...

Why should this be invisible?
My default opinion of a new card is OP. Your job as a card creator will have to be to convince me otherwise.
Happy to help with questions regarding upped PvP

Added a poll.

Why should this be invisible?

Riddle me this and I'll answer:

The codpiece that will house
Before the head has any,
The head and he shall louse
So beggars mary many.
The man that makes his toe
What he his heart should make,
Shall of a corn cry woe,
And turn his sleep to wake.

Well, based on the poll results and some thought:

  • removed invis/immaterial
  • added 45% evasion against targeted creature skills only
  • added one HP and
  • lowered cost by 1.
Main post is updated. Perhaps unfortunately, I don't feel this card can really shine with what it was intended to do -- so it won't be submitted to the Crucible.

However I had a lot of fun with this card and I appreciate all the feedback. I feel a learned a lot about card design and about this community. Next card coming up!

Excellent! Here's why she's invisible, which is also a hint for the riddle:

If she were visible, she'd be too beautiful. But if she were immaterial, she wouldn't be the wind.
