Assemblage | Factorius

[Essence]

NAME: Assemblage ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 1 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 1|1 ABILITY: When Assemblage dies, another random Assemblage, Factorious, or other creature you control gains +N|+X where N and X are Assemblage's ATK and HP, respectively.	NAME: Factorius ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 4 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3|2 ABILITY: When Factorius dies, another random Factorious, Assemblage, or other creature you control gains +N|+X where N and X are Factorius' ATK and HP, respectively.

ART: JesterArts.com royalty free image IDEA: Essence NOTES: The ability will first attempt to target an Assemblage (Factorius), then if it fails to find one, it will look for a Factorious (an Assemblage), and if it fails to find one, it will finally target any other random creature you control.   The ability passes the "Full" ATK|HP, not the "Current" ATK|HP, so damage, Antimatter, and other similar affects are ignored (but buffs like Blessing and Chaos Power, which do affect the "Full" stats, are passed on correctly.) SERIES: No series.

 i love the card art(even though it looks a bit funny) and i thinmk the abilitie is well balanced except for maybe fractal(but whats not overpowered with fractal)

[Terroking]

"Essemblage" -_-

On another note, it does look like a fairly balanced card that could be a tad abusable with Fractal, but not really since it'd take an Unstable gas to use and even then you'd have to get one to 2/2 first so it wouldn't die.

If (Or when, since Gravity really needs the boost) we ever see a Gravity Pull on a stick, then it'd be OP with Fractal. Target one, and you can block their next attack. Then use the 2/2, block another one. Eventually it'd get pretty big, especially with Multiple Fractals.

[Essence]

Well, technically the way that death effects work, Unstable Gas would, on average, kill half of them and leave the other half at 2/1 -- because as each Assemblage was processed, it would have it's effect trigger and another Assemblage would gain +1/+1.


The real abusability here comes with Blessing/Chaos Power, etc, but even then, it still has to get killed to have an effect.

[Terroking]

And Deja vu is better there.

[Essence]

Actually, there's a pretty common circumstance in mono-GRavity where you'd much rather have an Assemblage than a Deja Vu: when your only other creature is an Otyugh, and getting the bonus would help you eat something or survive a control spell.

this reminds me so much of modular from magic, but this is very interesting concept

how would this work if say a mutated assemblage got growth?

and it should be fixed somehow because when a creature dies it usually has 0 hp so it would give +x/+0 unless paradoxed or mutated

which if a creature was mutated would it count as dying?

and how would this work if an antimattered one died?

[Essence]

The ability isn't a passive ability, so mutant Assemblages wouldn't pass anything on (and it can be Lobotomized). 

The ability passes on the "full" ATK|HP of the creature, not the "current" ATK|HP, so damage is irrelevant, and Antimatter doesn't change the "full" ATK, only the "current" ATK, so it will still pass it's positive ATK to the target.

Mutation doesn't count as dying, as it doesn't trigger Vulture/Boneyard.

I think you should change the ability to read thusly:

"When killed, Assemblage (Factorius) adds its max attack/HPs to a random creature you control."

[Jelden]

Crazy idea what if you made the cost of playing it just be any element so it will be like an other type card

[Xinef]

How would it work with rage potion?
As far as I remember it gives +5 to the full attack, but -5 is considered damage, so after using it on an assemblage it would have:

Full stats:
6/1
Current stats:
6/-4

So basically it dies and gives another asseblage +6/+1, is that right?

[Essence]

There's some question about how death is timed in relation to the effect that caused it.  I would assume you're right, Xinef, but without closely examining the code, I can't be sure.  It might end up dying before the +5 ATK took effect.
