IDEA:	Originally OldTrees, modified by furballdn
NOTES:	Submerged means the creature cannot be targetted and is represented by a icon on the creature. AoE effects remove the submerged status. Submerged creatures act as if they were on a flooded square, getting bonuses from SoP or other future flooding related card effects. Alligator keeps the 2 attack even when unsubmerged. Submerge (the skill) can only be used once, like lycanthrope's skill. Alligator will not die when placed in a regular flooded square. Original thread: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=18108.0 My thoughts: Didn't really like the ambush ability, but I did like the submerge effect so I decided to go off on that. Buffed stats a bit since I felt 3 for 3\|4 or 3 + 1 for 5\|4 and psuedo invincibility was balanced. Also allows flooding synergies with future card ideas. Felt could use some antiCC creatures as well as something even more defensive then cockatrice. Frog is now glass cannon, cockatrice is balanced, and alligator is the defensive mid range hitter for .

After consideration and discussion, submerge has been changed to cost 2

. Bump for asking for more discussion/feedback.

hunh....Mmmm..Dunno really.
That it's submerge requires

quanta could very well become the engagement ring between

and

, as

already has forest spirit.

Just because

and

have a synergy already does not mean it could use more. Just look at

and

(CP+vampires, lycans, BE+dolls) or

and

(earth creatures+rage pot, lava golem, heavy armor+fire creatures). Besides,

and

only has forest spirit as its really strong connection.

i like this card. i think the flooding mechanic needs more expansion like this.
