NAME: Soaring Beast ELEMENT: Air COST: 3  TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0|2 TEXT: +3/+0 while Airborne.  : Devour a creature to remain Airborne. +1/+1	NAME: Flying Behemoth ELEMENT: Air COST: 4  TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 1|4 TEXT: +3/+0 while Airborne.  : Devour a creature to remain Airborne. +1/+1

ART: IDEA: Saynt NOTES: Trigger skill is removed once Airborne status is lost. SERIES:

[Smurrf]

If it loses Airborne at all, can it Devour to regain Airborne, or does that option go away completely?

Also, a single creature that both eats other creatures (currently, regardless of which side it's on and total HP I guess it's like the current Devour, but still) and poisons enemy creatures all in one?  Good start, but needs work.

[Saynt]

It loses ability once Airborne is removed. What if unupped poisons any creature, and upped poisons enemy creatures?

[Smurrf]

I just think it needs to either have one or the other, not both.  Any new creature given Devour is going to step on the toes of Otyugh, Scarabs, and to a lesser extent Fallen Druid.  Does EtG really need another Devouring creature? Does Air, specifically, need not one but two effects that aren't in the element currently, in a single card?

[Saynt]

Better?

[Smurrf]

It can keep the +1|+1 for devouring.  I'm assuming it operates on the same principle of "can't eat anything its size or larger", so that's balanced enough.  Other than that, and maybe an activation cost reduction to  (again, to keep in line with current devourers), much better.

I like this card a lot, now!
