ART:
Salbei
IDEA:
Salbei
NOTES:
It is supposed to be combined with buff cards  ("Blessing","Chaos Power etc) and maybe even copied after that via "Twin Universe".

Edit - changes:
Adjusted the stats from -1/1 - 0/1 to 0/3 - 1/3. discuss!
Removed the "Poison if ingested" part because of balance concerns.

At its current 1 :entropy it should be easy to splash by just changing the Mark to Entropy. A Light deck could gain access to poison via Blessing this way(odd isn´t it ^^) .

Interactions you should keep in mind when reviewing:
-Immolation/Cremate/Rage Potion could kill it instantly whenever you need it.
-Chimera does the same while providing you a momentum creature (after it is buffed of course)
-Blessing/Chaos Power to make the card "useable"
-Twin Universe
-The current effect is passive so it would be a very good Butterfly effect target.
SERIES:

Thanks to miniwally who provided the "frame".I got my a** up and finally reworked the artwork.

Alright people, tear it apart!

:D i do like the neg atk, cool idea but why would acid heal your opponent?
is power atk or hp? sorry i think its more likely tobe attack so operating on that...
if you bless it then have to kill with say lightning youve used
 :entropy :light :light :light :aether :aether to just do 2 poison damage...seems quite ineffciant...

thanks for the feedback.

You are forgetting it can still attack. So you got your -1/1 AO, bless it and it deals 2 Damage per turn, that s not impressive i know. But there are a lot of buff cards out there so it won´t stay 2/4 for long.As bigger as it gets the more your opponent is forced to handle the creature and when it finally dies you are left with a much bigger problem , the poison. There is currently just 1 way to get rid of it and that is Purify, and most decks don´t run it. And something like 10+ poison out of nowhere is nothing to laugh at.

This way your one trick pony deck (like Pegasus+Blessing) even gets something out of your "wasted" buff cards after the creature dies. Turning Pegasus/Blessing major flaw (you spend like 3-4 cards to buff your creature and after it dies you run out of steam to finish your opponent).

The main reason that its attack has to be below 1 is Fractal. Extreme low cost + a creature that does something on dying would be overpowered.the -1 definatly prevents any Fractal abuse - you would have to go for Twin Universe to get more out of it. Another reason the attack has to be low to prevent going "overboard" with the current copy cards and ones that might follow later.

That should happen, yes. But pretty much anyone beside the AI would wait for a buff card before you play it. Except Butterfly Effect maybe.It is intended to work that way.

more buff cards you use harder it i to kill. but  your saying leave that to the opponent...but with your blessing idea alone they never will unless they have purify
they never will...why waste the cards killing it when it will just deal poison equal to atk
power is atk right?
i think i get it now though...because its effectively immortal-however much trouble it is alive it is always more trouble dead...cool...

Exactly. Its easier to stop when it is alive (Freeze, Permafrost Shield etc) than it is dead because of the way poison is working.Twin Universe should be fun with this.

okay, is it an active or passive ability? i mean is it "lobo-able"? love the idea btw.

What would you suggest ? Voodoo doll is not lobo-able and got a simmilar function (you don´t want to target it if it is against you). So i guess it is not lobo-able for now.

I don´t see a broken combo yet that should make it active (lobo able).

Note: Immolation/Cremate could make it poison whenever you want.

yep, i think it should be a passive skill. and how about if we devour them - will the creature gets poisoned like scorpions?

Good call. I think the idea is overused but would suit the "acid" theme.
How do you call that passive again ?
