ART: public domain: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1284216 IDEA: moomoose NOTES: gravity probably doesnt need another heal mechanic in addition to black hole, but i was thinking something to spice up gravity pull may be fun. the card name is very, very loosely associated, but i think it sounds cool.

Great idea! I didn't even think of something like that. The only problem I have with it, is the fact it is awfully specific. Perhaps you could have it heal you for any of your creatures which are damaged. That would be a cool card. Nice idea though.
*edit* of course I think you would need to raise the cost if you did such a thing.

[Anarook]

Eh, good idea, but I think it should be half damage recieved at most.
If I chain a bunch of armagios, I've essentially made not only a delightuflly difficult to break barrier, but one that heals me.
The real danger would be doing something like using this in conjunction with vodoo dolls.
Voodoo doll+grav pull +this = opponent taking vodoo damage+healing for all of that damage

Yes but at the same time one could easily avoid things just gravity pulled. They could just momentum, or play defensive. Or destroy the permanent. I think it would work as is. I think it would change the way people play the game some though. I still think it is to specific however. On the other hand I can see how the armagio wall could be an issue. One last thought I did have though. this is really no worse than antimatter, or a wall of vampires. It doesn't hurt the player who is attacking so they could always power through it as well

I just love this card!

[oblivion1212]

it's an indirect buff to chimera... YAY!!

also, looks balanced because of being a permanent --> susceptible to PC

maybe change name to Absorb? yea, i've got nothing on names so, oh well.. XD

Agree. You could always use dominator's mechanic, drop the cost to 3/2, and set a time for 2-5 turns.

[moomoose]

a duration may be appropriate, which would encourage strategic use of the card and/or having several in the deck.

Yeah I like the idea.

I didn't even think of the cool strategies which would arise from a card like this. This really would be fun to use!

This really would be fun to use!

...If it was buffed to all damage any [both yours and opponent] creature sustains without dying. There's only one strategy right now: Use your 6 Gravity Pulls on your high HP creatures, maybe replace-with/add-in armagios.

what if it was just your creatures? As in any of your creatures damaged by your opponent  (with or without gravity pull. I am kind of against the limit to gravity pull only, but I am still thinking about this card.) heal you for the damage taken. Then use your idea for the time frame this card lasts. I think if he used my mechanism though, the card shouldn't drop cost because of how powerful it would be. It is basically a protection for your creatures. Or play it when your creatures are poisoned and get some use out of them before they die.
but when I made the comment about how many strategies would arise, I was thinking of what you said about using my mechanic and setting time limit.
As it currently is, I think it is just too limiting.

Also I like the idea of it only healing if it isn't killed (*edit* which is already part of the card my bad   ). That limits it because once you add it to all your creatures it will be too powerful.
Still for the idea. Cool concept of healing for damage taken. 
Now This card makes me want to make a self infliction card. perhaps something like a rain of fire which does 1 or 2 damage to all of your creatures. would be interesting.
