Ray of Sunshine: Seems sort of bland at a glance. The art is (no offense) "crucible-level", and the concept very much reflects the theme of RoL hope. The problem of generating one copy at a time feels more like mitosis and not the fast replication of fractal. As far as balance goes, this seems like it's leaning a bit on the strong side. ***
AdrenaFrog: The art seems to turn me off immediately, but after looking at it a while, it seems pretty cute and interesting. The polish seems a bit unrefined, with one side being 3x3 (shouldn't it be 3*4?) and the other side being 5+4+2 (no upgrade bonus?!?). As far as balancing goes, it seems to be not UP (it is either balanced or perhaps 1 cost too low). The fact that it is a standalone card instead of taking up more card space would probably make this unviable alongside current life rushes. **
Basilisk: Holycrap! Dat art! Dat original deck! Dat interesting mechanic! This card amazes me. The polish and refinement it has truly makes it stand out. Not only is it of a pretty interesting deck, but it has a very interesting way of implementation (moving creature to delay opponent). I feel this card has a really unique and original take to the deck. As far as balance goes, I feel it can get a cost increase since it has no upkeep to its delay and also attacks as well, making it much better than warden. *****
Opscuritas: This feels a lot like the RoL hope card above. Art isn't anything special, but it's fine and fits. As for balance, I think it might be a bit UP. 5|8 should be worth around 4-6 cost, having duo cost vampirism for
shouldn't add more than +1, and quanta destruction should be worth no more than +1, so I feel this can be 8
. As for elegance and polish, this card doesn't feel super interesting, and instead feels like all the darkness creatures were fused together. ***
Instodon: Holycrap! Again! I am not sure if art is supposed to play a role in judging, but it really does bring about a very elegant and polished feel to the card. The ability is very thematic and unique (I haven't seen any 10-x attack cards before) and certainly captures the feeling of instosis. This seems like a wonderful card, although I'm not too sure about balance. *****
Rabbit: Urgh, a little harder to be objective here since he did use my deck
As for the card itself, again, image doesn't stand out too much, but gets the job done. I certainly like the idea of swapping the element of the deck to provide a very thematic appeal to another, as well as how nicely it actually fits with life. As for balance, I feel that this is a bit OP compared to mitosis+creature and NT/NQ+pillars. ***
Dracosynthesis: Wow, nice art. I like the concept and execution of the card, but I worry if it may be too powerful. Essentially, it is a 5
card that allows the user to use a light version of fire bolt, only that it continues to stay on the field. I think that is probably my biggest gripe with the card. ****
Eclipsword: heh, neat art, but I think I like adrenafrogs better. Deals two poison damage? Does that give your opponent poison counters or is it shield bypassing damage? Vampirism as well? Isn't that too similar to vagger? Animating for
? Why death? That feels a lot like some air related sword. Damage doubling in darkness makes for hard to balance since 8
+ 1
+ 3 cards is a 12 poisoner and healer. All in all, I feel that this had a nice beginning, but the lack of polish and balance makes it not that great of a submission. *
