Title: Dehydration | Hypertone

NAME: Dehydration ELEMENT: Water COST: 2 :water TYPE: Spell TEXT: Target creature loses -1/-1 per turn. Stacking	NAME: Hypertone ELEMENT: Water COST: 3 :water TYPE: Spell TEXT: Target creature loses -2/-2 per turn. Stacking

ART: http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd181665/Dehydration.png (Credit goes to ZBladder for finding this) IDEA: Terroking NOTES: It cannot, obviously, reduce Attack below 0 (It'll only lower hp once that attack gets to 0 or less) but it can kill the creature. (Hypertone refers to a process in which cells can lose their water or fluid) SERIES: None

I like it!

Great Conjunction with:
-Freeze
-Warden
-Fire Shield/Thorn Caprice
-Procrast
-Sundial

And much more! I would love to have the unupped against those pesky Golems and Low-Health-Powerhouses.

But I think stacking is a bit of overkill.

Imagine a beefy Colassal Dragon dying in like 2 turns from losing 12/12 each turn  :-X

No offense meant terro, but there's a watermark, and after browsing around the site it turns out you need to buy the image in order to use it. The art will have to be changed.

Fairly interesting CC for water, which goes well with it's stalling.

Um, as a kinda math whiz, subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. Just saying.

Hmmm... Sorry, I apologize for that.

It was found under a search for royalty-free stock photos, which is odd :/

Will remove the image and add a new one when I get a chance.

Fixed the image (e.g. removed it)

If you would like to donate some art, feel free to pm me ^^

I will try to grab some actual royalty-free art soon.

I had the same discussion with my Shame (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19255.0.html) card regarding stats, actually. Saying a creature loses stats is a double negative, which means you'll be gaining +2 | +2 per turn, like auto-growth. I think ninjamaster's trying to suggest to change the text to "gain -2 | -2".

No problem.
Just for clarification : Some sites like Istockphoto advertise on stock image sites like sxc.hu, and their images turn up somewhere near the search (usually divided by a really thin line or a box.) Keep an eye out for things like those and you'll be fine. ;)

Thanks to ZBladder there is a new and fully legit art up.

And, for those who say it's incorrectly worded, the creature loses those stats, they are not added or subtracted to/from it. I would have said loses 1/1 except that would be silly.

Title: Re: Dehydration | Hypertone

Actually, I made that. ^^; I'm also assuming you added an extra "d" to my name on purpose. =P

I often do this sort of thing :P

Thanks in any case

You don't need to put stacking in the card. But you could write it in the notes section.

The wording that is used so far by other ideas is "Gain -X|-Y."
I would prefer this mechanic in Death the element of decay however Water works well.
Casting Costs look right.

Losing -1/-1 = - (-1/-1) Just to say :D

It could be used greatly with Freezing things :D

And the "Stacking" part? I'd say write it as "This card's effect stacks" That should be better IMO :D Or don't put the stacking part, just let it be a mystery xD

But the cost? I'd say make it around 4 for upped?

manaboy100, you've been ninja'd by the ninjamaster. lulz.

I like Terro's wording better. "Gain -1/-1" sounds weird because the subject is the creature, not the stats. A creature can't really gain a number... I like to think of it as "This creature gains stats, specifically its stats are modified by +1/+1" or "This creature loses stats, specifically its stats are modified by -1/-1"

nice card, perhaps it can lower attack below 0, like anti matter does.

very good mechanic, it does fit death well, but water works too.

ZBladder. lol
It does seem more like a death card though, but I like it, works well with water stalling.
