Yay! Debate!
- You should never name a card just after its function on the field.
- Poison. Freeze. Congeal.
These are no problem because there the effect is named after a concept that easy to imagine. With "Lockdown", you have a card name which is hard to create an image for. Do you lock the opposing elemental into some kind of cage for one turn? Naming a card after the colloquial term for a deck concept doesn't add flavor to the game.
- Cute, but the effect is too small and too situational for me to consider building it into a deck.
- Actually, the effect is quite powerful. And 90% of decks are build around creatures with a skill.
Ok, my fault. I was going through the cards pretty quick and for some reason thought that this was a spell... ah well, my vote is cast and my three favorites would have exceeded the real card as well.
- But uhm... what IS a piranha?
- ... you are joking right?
I am not. I don't know, what the abilities of a piranha are. What is its power/HP? What is its casting cost?
- Crusader: Its a shame that it is not going to work with Morningstar, isn't it? Couldn't you just have phrased it with "your weapon"?
- The effect doesn't say "your weapon" exactly because it isn't supposed to work only on your. Read previous comments, the morning glory issue has been discussed further.
I am aware that it is able to use an opponent's weapon as well. Probably I should have said explicitly that I would have liked the Crusader better if he sticked to his own weapons. I know that the real Crusaders spent a lot of time pillaging before they went to the actual Crusade but I thought that Elements used the idealized version of the term :p
