Despair | Despair

would an alternating -1|-0 <-> -0|-1 work?

Interesting idea. Perhaps you could make it a consistent -1/-1 or a random event between "lose 1 hp or atk", however.
Do you have a thematic justification?

Reminds me of this for alternating.

Only other thing i can think of manipulating with Despair is opponent's quanta.

[EmeraldTiger]

As the darkness rises so does sense of desperation.
As the shadows increase so does the fear.
As the night draws close
As the light fades

The strength evades
The fright grows
The eyes tear
It is asked, "Is this my damnation?"

I am not sure if I got that right: What is a generating creature? I can only think of Pests, and unlike Gemfinder, RoL etc. they are not *dark-generating*, are they?

NOTES:

This is made to tie in with Shadone | Fragment of Darkness. Includes Devourer. 23 creature spots, 3% per generating creature 23*3=69

Just checked out Shadone, realized it's connected to that card, and was expecting such an answer xD

3% is way too weak imo. It should be 5% at least.

I would make it 10%. For ten of those Shadones (or Devourers) you get a Fire Shield. Even that doesn't convince me, especially not for the high costs of 7 /6 .

I will have time to make adjustments later, just not atm.

I think that currently, it is a little too weak compared to Fire Shield.  Try dropping to 5|4?

Still 3%, not even 5%...this card costs 4 upgraded, same as a Fire Buckler. Fire Buckler always does 1 dmg to attackers, this card has got a 69% chance if you got a totally unrealistic number of 23 (!)  -producing creatures

10% is the minimum of a percentage you need for a useful version. 20% is recommended...I would rather have a Dusk Mantle that negates 50% of the attacks than having this one causing 1 dmg IF you got 10 (or 5...)  -producing out ^^

If the shield's cost would be 2/1, maybe...with 10%, or more likely N20%

I am thinking if Cloak is in play it would be 100%. The theme is despair in darkness. And without cloak in play, theme is the gradual increase in darkness production increases the despair.
