Elemental Avatar Legend:

     Endless time has passed since the creatures of opposing elements began the epic war. Some fought for justice; some fought for faith; some fought for peace; some fought to survive. A countless battle after another was fought from dusk till dawn. Million lives have been lost. As the lost souls returned to their respective elemental creator, the elementilord, elementilords shed tears for their lost children. That was when the miracle happened. Their tears were transformed into avatars, embodiments of elementilord's sorrow, love, and magical power. They are also reincarnations of the lost elemental creatures.
     Because they were born of the lost souls and elementilords' wish to end the war, they are void of attack powers. Instead, each avatar was born with a unique miraculous power, a miracle that reflects their wish to bring an end to the war and the sufferings.
      :aether The Aether Avatar thought, "I shall distort the dimensions to weaken the menace and strengthen the weak." Thus was born Deffusion/Perfusion, the unmatching power to turn the table in battle.
      The legend says that the avatars will only show themselves to those who possess kindness, love, and will to end the war. Will their dream come true? Perhaps it is in your hands now. Thus, the epic battle of Elements continues...

Not sure I like this one as much. Removing from play is a mechanic that would have to be added, and that I am not sure we need.

That aside, it is balanced and fits the aether theme.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. Speak the truth even when your voice falters.

Does a creature removed from the game retain its statuses?

Yep. It stays intact and just comes back to the field after the specified turn.

Doublecross:

It's funny because this is my least favorite avatar too lol. I had the hardest time creating this one (this was also the last one I made, so fatigue effect? lol).

Should I come up with a different effect, or....? I'd love to hear from more people too.

lol at 4th/5th Dimension :P

I like it. Quite balanced, not a killer effect, and I'm loving the picture quite much :D

Looking forward for the Series thread...

1. You stole the ability name of my archetype card, Aspiration | Ascendance. The ability was named "Fifth-dimensional" (no hard feelings, I know it wasn't intended.)

2. This is 8 | 8 :aether for 1 | 2 turn delay of creature. Totally worthless.

3. Make it so you can use it multiple times per turn (but put a freaking cap on it, sheesh!)

4. I would hate to have this thing TU'd or Fractal'd, so no changie the costie.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

Sorry about that, but it's actually not "stealing," 4th dimension and 5th dimension are concepts in mathematics and physics. You did not coin the terms. But, if it upset you, I still apologize  :)

So, looks like this card's skill is not as useful as other Avatars' according to the feedback? Let me revisit the skills. Like I said, I myself was not very fond of those skills. I should come up with something better.

It's not as useful, but it's still unique and may find its place if you tweak it a bit... You could technically kill the creature if you made it dissappear and then fill the field with other stuff (i.e. malignant cells), so it's not like freeze.

OK! I did some brain storming! How about this?

Dimensional Lock (costs 3 Aether quanta): All unused enemy creature slots are disabled for 1 turn.

The implication is that your opponent can't play a creature card that turn. How is this different from "do not allow the opponent to play a creature card for 1 turn"? Well, the difference is, the opponent can still play a creature card if they free up one of their occupied slots. They can kill their own creature, and use that slot to play a new one.

Let me know what you think!

This new ability could work easily. However a problem with your Avatars is their abilities pale in comparison to their costs - stats value.
