Spoiler for Santa Claws|Santa Claus:

NAME: Santa Claws ELEMENT: LIGHT COST: 4 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2|3 TEXT: Present Inflict a random effect on the target creature. May only be used once per creature.	NAME: Santa Claus ELEMENT: LIGHT COST: 4 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2|3 TEXT: Present Give the target creature a random buff. May only be used once per creature.

ART: No art, no artist, I guess? IDEA: flyingcat NOTES: This is in light because presents=light! The abilities cost entropy quanta because a) thematic reasons (random) and b) balancing reasons. The random effect is any effect available from Chaos Seed, and the random buff is between +1|+1 and +5|+5. Only one present per creature! SERIES: Christmas Cards

2 - andretimpa

Spoiler for Snowman|Snowman:

NAME: Snowman ELEMENT: Water COST: 2 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3 | 5 TEXT: Melting: Loses 1 HP every turn. Instead of freezing, Snowman is healed and stops losing HP.	NAME: Snowman ELEMENT: Water COST: 2 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 4 | 6 TEXT: Melting: Loses 1 HP every turn. Instead of freezing, Snowman is healed and stops losing HP.

ART: IDEA: andretimpa NOTES: Melting is a passive. Snowman can't be frozen, instead of freezing it stops losing health and regains what it lost. SERIES:

3 - Frimax

Spoiler for Christmas Elf| Frost Elf:

NAME: Christmas Elf ELEMENT: Light COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 5/5 TEXT:   Blizzard: Every creature on the fileld has a chance to "Freeze".	NAME: Frost Elf ELEMENT: Light COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 5/5 TEXT:   Blizzard: Every creature on the fileld has a chance to "Congeal".

ART: IDEA: Frimax NOTES: My idea is based on one of those Santa's Little Helpers. They have the ability to cast blizzard which is something we always have on Christmas. BLIZZARD: The Larger the creature is, the more resistan to the blizzard spell. HP = 0 = 100% Chance to freeze/Congeal. HP = 1 = 42% Chance to freeze/Congeal. HP = 2 = 35% Chance to freeze/Congeal. HP = 3 = 28% Chance to freeze/Congeal. Hp = 4 = 21% Chance to freeze/Congeal. Hp = 5 = 14% Chance to freeze/Congeal. Hp more than 5 = 7% Chance to freeze/Congeal.. Hp more than 10 = Inmmune (Unless Frost Elf HP > Target Creature).

Thank you.

Spoiler for Gift|Gift:

NAME: Gift ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: 0|0 TEXT: 3-Layer Unwrap: Each turn, one layer is removed to reveal a random creature or permanent	NAME: Gift ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: 0|0 TEXT: 3-Layer Unwrap: Each turn, one layer is removed to reveal a random upgraded creature or permanent

ART: None IDEA: Aknelo NOTES: As far as I am aware, this is my own idea.  SERIES: ***Insert series name and link to series page (if any)***

This is my first ever card idea that I am submitting.  Please give feedback accordingly re: balance, OP/UP, cost, etc. 

I wasn't sure whether to make this Entropy (for the random factor), Time (for the waiting turns factor) or Other (so that it could be used in all decks)

5 - Krzysiekxd

Spoiler for Christmas Spirit|Christmas Spirit:

NAME: Christmas Spirit ELEMENT: Aether COST: 10 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 4| 1 TEXT: Pacify:Spirit turns into 0|- immaterial; damage taken by the owner is reduced equally to HP of this creature (max 8 )	NAME: Christmas Spirit ELEMENT: Aether COST: 9 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 4| 1 TEXT: Pacify:Spirit turns into 0|- immaterial; damage taken by the owner is reduced equally to HP of this creature (max 8 )

ART: IDEA: Krzysiekxd NOTES: It's Christmas, time of Peace and Love, not war, so that's why Christmas Spirit pacifies your enememies and actually itself. You can now peacefully spend your Christmas ^^ The cost is so high because it can become broken with Fractal, Mitosis and Shard of Patience. I hope it is balanced. Titanium Shield reduces 2 for 4 quanta, my card is 10 for max 8 damage reduction, but it needs to be buffed, otherwise it reduces only 1 damage. It also needs  to be activated. Activation takes place only once and this creature can't turn back into its previous state (like Lycanthope). 0|- means that after you activate its skill, HP remains the same (but max 8HP), yet attack is reduced to 0. It becomes immaterial. This card reduces physical and spell damage, but not poison damage. Plus I mean sum of damage, not a damage dealt from one source like in Hope. SERIES:

Spoiler for Christmas Elf|Christmas Elf:

NAME: Christmas Elf ELEMENT: Life COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 3 TEXT: : Gift: Target is affected by a random buff. Becomes a fallen elf if targeted with antimatter.	NAME: Christmas Elf ELEMENT: Life COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 5 TEXT: : Gift: Target is affected by a random buff. Becomes a fallen elf if targeted with antimatter.

ART: IDEA: NOTES: Buffs include immortallity wisdom chaos power and blessing adrenaline momentum butterfly effect mitosis Sky blitz (Only affects the target, will remove if people don't like it.) Purify SERIES:

7 - Foraker

Spoiler for Grinch's Little Helper|Grinch:

NAME: Grinch's Little Helper ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 1 | 2 TEXT: 4: Hate Absorb 1 quantum from your opponent. This skill can be used multiple times per turn.	NAME: Grinch ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2 | 4 TEXT: 4: Hate Absorb 1 quantum from your opponent. This skill can be used multiple times per turn.

ART: This guy who made the background IDEA: Foraker NOTES: Imo entropy fits the thematic better than any other element. Also does hatred always cost you much more than you can ever profit of it. The ability works the same way, the devourer mechanic does, except that it doesn't convert the absorbed quanta. I'm not sure about the creature/ability cost or the creature stats, because it's the first card I've ever submitted. SERIES: -

8 - ddevans96

Spoiler for White Christmas|White Christmas:

NAME: White Christmas ELEMENT: Water COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Snowfall: All creatures gain -1|+0, and Freeze if they have no active abilities.	NAME: White Christmas ELEMENT: Water COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Snowfall: All creatures gain -1|+1, and Congeal if they have no active abilities.

ART: IDEA: ddevans96 NOTES: I've been dreaming of a whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite Christmas~ So yeah, song aside, the idea behind this card is that it's Christmas, and it's snowing, and snowing makes creatures want to attack other creatures less, except for the occasional awesome snowball fight, so creatures without abilities can pick up snowballs and throw them at other creatures, freezing them. The upped is more expensive, in exchange for giving creatures HP as well as lowering attack, and granting an extra turn of freeze to the ability use. Probably not my best idea, but I really like it, so I'm submitting it. SERIES:

Spoiler for O Christmas Tree | O Christmas Tree:

NAME: O Christmas Tree ELEMENT: Life COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT:   : Target creature has all status effects removed and gains +1 | +1.	NAME: O Christmas Tree ELEMENT: Life COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT:   : Target creature has all status effects removed and gains +1 | +1.

ART: [Rules said no art] IDEA: The song O Christmas Tree, mainly. That, and the inspiring light of decorated Christmas trees. NOTES: This removes any status effect on the target creature, not including immortality. Poison/purify counters are completely removed.Subject to change The slight buff is there to give it a bit of extra oomph. It has synergy with Forest Scorpions against 1-damage blocking shields and really anything that could be poisoned. It's not total anti-CC due to how one-hit kills can't be prevented very quickly and the high play cost prevents a buffing spam. Thematically, the Light ability comes from the lights put on Christmas trees and how while they don't do much for physical problems, they make you feel good about the holidays and bring you closer to your family, etc. SERIES:

Spoiler for Xmas|Xmas:

NAME: Xmas ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Commercialization: Drain 1 HP for every quanta the opponent spends.	NAME: Xmas ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Commercialization: Drain 1 HP for every quanta the opponent spends.  All opponents cards cost +1.

ART: IDEA: Montrossen NOTES: X marks the spot where they took Christ out of Christmas. SERIES:

11 - Pineapple

Spoiler for Festive Melody | Festive Song:

NAME: Festive Melody ELEMENT: Light COST: 0 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Heal all creatures and players 2 HP when a copy is played. Lasts until 2 turns after the last copy played.	NAME: Festive Song ELEMENT: Light COST: 2 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Heal all creatures and players 2 HP when a copy is played. Lasts until 4 turns after the last copy played.

ART: IDEA: pineapple NOTES: submission for http://elementscommunity.org/forum/competitions/zanz's-christmas-present-card-design-competition/ Clarifications: 1. Heal affects both allied creatures/players and enemy creatures/players. 2. Heals the base amount when the first copy is played. 3. Only heals when a copy of Festive Melody/Festive Song is played from the hand. Does not otherwise heal (e.g. every turn) for any amount. 4. Expiration clock is reset each time a copy of Festive Melody/Festive Song is played from the hand. 5. For the sake of simplicity in balance, heal does not trigger when a Festive Melody/Festive Song is played on the other side of the field. Helpful table: Number Chained Amount Healed Total Amount Healed During Chain 1 2 2 2 4 6 3 6 12 4 8 20 5 10 30 6 12 42 SERIES:

Spoiler for Sleigh | Sleigh:

NAME: Sleigh ELEMENT: air COST: 3 TYPE: creature ATK|HP: 2|8 TEXT: Mount (remove Sleigh): Target creature stats are increased by Sleigh's stats, and summons Sleigh upon death.	NAME: Sleigh ELEMENT: air COST: 2 TYPE: creature ATK|HP: 2|8 TEXT: Mount (remove Sleigh): Target creature stats are increased by Sleigh's stats, and summons Sleigh upon death.

ART: IDEA: dragtom NOTES: target creature gets the 'mount' passive. Upon death, it summons a new sleigh. Additionally, creatures with the 'mounted' passive cannot be targeted by mount. Using mount does not cause death effects to trigger. Thus, the wording is different from virus. sleigh is airborne. SERIES:

Spoiler for Festivity | Festivity:

NAME: Festivity ELEMENT: Life COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Each turn, both players heal for 10, increase their mark power by 1, and draw a card.	NAME: Festivity ELEMENT: Life COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Each turn, both players heal for 10, increase their mark power by 1, and draw a card. Click to remove.

ART: IDEA: Frozengaia NOTES: Yes, "Click to remove" is seriously the upgrade. The amount of control that gives you is so helpful. One of my strongest opinions on the balance of this game is that life's strategy is completely and utterly not supported at all. Life stall is the exact opposite of the fire stall. Fire stall is a very "aggressive stall", or it kills everything you attempt to play. Life stall is a very "passive stall", or it overcomes everything you attempt to play. Fire kills everything. Life overcomes everything. That means that life shouldn't really get things that injure or kill the opponent's creatures, because that goes against what its stall is. With that in mind, this is what this card does - It gives you the tools you need to survive a storm of damage, but it also helps your opponent give you that storm of damage. Some ideas include monolife rushes, monolife stalls, life stalls, and fire-life deckouts. SERIES:

Spoiler for Guiding Star|Christmas Star:

NAME: Guiding Star ELEMENT: Light COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: :Guide. Your creatures will not fail to attack this turn. Immaterial.	NAME: Christmas Star ELEMENT: Light COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: :Guide. Your creatures will not fail to attack this turn. Immaterial.

ART: IDEA: NOTES: Throwback to some old skool Christmas right here. Just like the star that guided the wise men to Bethlehem back in the day, this star will lead you directly to your opponent, so that you can give them the gift of a face-full of damage. The effects include: - Your creatures will not be affected by Sundial - Your creatures will not be blocked or miss due to any shield effect (Phase, Fog, Dusk, Gravity, Dissipation etc) - Creatures that have their attack fully blocked by a damage reduction shield will deal full damage This card will not: - Negate shield effects (Spines, Fire, Ice, Procrastination etc) - Cause delayed or frozen creature to attack - Negate damage reduction for creatures that would still deal some damage - Effect Antimatter or SoSac statuses It's immaterial because, let's be honest, do you really think a Pulverizer would work on a star? (We'll just ignore the fact that you can destroy Nightfall and an Eclipse with a mace) SERIES:

Yep. Wuss :p

[flyingcat]

I just feel really bad when I do. Probably won't unless I think mine is reeeeaaaally good. So in other words, probably not ever.
