NAME: Afterburner ELEMENT: Fire COST: 4 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Target creature gains +S|+0 and Immaterial.  S equals half the target's health.  It dies at the end of the turn.	NAME: Afterburner ELEMENT: Fire COST: 3 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Target creature gains +S|+0 and Immaterial.  S equals half the target's health.  It dies at the end of the turn.

ART: Drake_XIV IDEA: Drake_XIV NOTES: The reason I didn't want it to deal damage or simply send HP to 0 was to prevent abuse with Voodoo. Immaterial prevents chaining Afterburner on a single target. The end of the turn is when the target creature attacks. SERIES:

I like that this card doesn't do that well in mono-fire. Great synergy with though, as you said. Gravity too. I still don't get why the immaterial part is there if the creature is going to die that turn.

Edit: Silly me, forgetting to read the notes once again.

Immaterial prevents maintaining any possible health heavy creatures, such as Basalt Dragon or Flying Titans, from staying on.

I mean things such as Plate Armor, Momentum, or anything that could potentially give it any health and keep it on the field.

The immatirialness is to prevent using this spell more than once on the same creature. If it was not for the immatirialness, new OTK I think (with titan)

Thank you.  I keep forgetting about reusing it after the concept change...

you could sitll build a deck aorund this, fly a titan, buff it up with pet, wait 6 turns, throw this out...
it could work.

That still involves flying another Titan.

Doesn't Catapult already fill this niche?
Catapult does 34|34 damage per Flying Titan.
Afterburner does 32|33 damage per Flying Titan + Afterburner.

At low hp, Catapult is nearly twice as good as Afterburner per usage.

Well, I was seeing this more as an additional CC of sorts.

Ah, so you are catapulting your opponent's creatures at yourself. In that case it is an expensive Shockwave.

Afterburner + Freeze = 4 + 1 + 2 cards -> Instant Kill
Shockwave + Freeze = 1 + 1 + 2 cards -> Instant Kill

[moomoose]

because if there is one thing fire needs more of, its cc.
