Dryad | Elite Dryad

[Schattenfresser]

Hi,
i thought about two creatures and 1 spell.
The synergy between the sylvan oak (living trees) and dryads could be OP, but the costs should be high enough and the dryads are very frail without the trees.
The spell gives life a little more defense and a way to kill some creatures, but it isn't effectiv as comparable spells as Thunderstorm or Rain of Fire.

I'm searching for good art for the cards, so when you find something suitable, please send it to me.
and sorry for all mistakes

edit:
I only changed the name from sylvan to oak and added the symbol by the costs. The spell will get a different thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6445.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6445.0.html)), but the oak guardians and the dryads work as a team.

edit2: moving the oaks in a extra thread

NAME: Dryad ELEMENT: Life COST: 5  TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 1 | 1 ABILITY: Seed of Life: Every creature in your possession heals herself 1 HP at the end of every turn.	NAME: Elite Dryad ELEMENT: Life COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2 | 1 ABILITY: Seed of Life: Every creature in your possession heals herself 1 HP at the end of every turn.

ART: J E. Shannon IDEA: Schattenfresser NOTES: * gets a bonus from Oak Guardian: Link (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6455.0.html) * Should Seed of Life add up when more then one Dryad is in the play? SERIES: -

Hmm nice ideas and they work really well together. I am sorry I will not be avaible to assist with any art for them this time around but I am sure that someone else will be able to soon. (I have to go for RL)

All in all nice ideas with simple ways of gain for each creature. A little unsure about the spell but it could work. I will have to think about it.

Thanks and good luck, keep up the great work.

dryad's are tree spirits, and sylvan is a species of faery's.

aside from that, interesting. I don't really think 'dryad' fits for the name of the card, but aside from that, it's certainly an interesting card

[ScytherLoL]

I may have prefered Ents as the symbiotic relationship would be more akin with mythology.

The other is to add in Satyrs but still unsure.

Thanks

how long does the twines/forest effect last? (as in does it act as a time bubble?)

[Schattenfresser]

The effect of twines/forest should last aslong the creature is in the game.

To the names: I don't want to use Ent as name for the creatures because it isn't .... originally enough. I used sylvan after I asked in the chat for a other name for living trees and it had a better sound then dendroid.
But could use oak instead of sylvan. It should work with dryads as oak nymphs.
And the heal worked in my first idea only for the trees so that dryad were a fitting name.

[Schattenfresser]

I changed the name of the sylvans and added pictures.

For the discussion: Are the abilities ok for this price and in this combination? Or is the Dryad life buff from the oaks to much?

[unionruler]

Walking mini empathic bonds that have attrition? Well certainly it's an idea but I'd refrain from implementing this one because if we had FGs with both bonds and dryads, anti FGs without creature control are gonna suck against them. A possibility could be that seed of life only works on alternate turns and the dryad gets stunned for one turn after using the ability.

My first thought when seeing this card was this - way too many words and too much math. Try to simplify this as much as possible without any kind of math lingo.

I could change the protection from the +0/+M to +0/+2 and that it works like Nightfall.
The symbiosis text is only a little longer as the text from the swarm by the scarab and removing the dryad part would change the basic idea of the card.

The idea by the dryad was to add a creature healing that get stronger with the number of creatures and I don't know a better way to describe the ability.
The only way to simplify it would be that the first dryad gives 1 healing and every dryad after that don't give a extra healing.

Text on the cards have controll instead of control .  Unless your making a reference to trolls...

[Schattenfresser]

I have changed the abilities and some stats of the cards.

Dryad/ Elite Dryad:
* increased the cost from 4 to 5
* decreased the attack from 3 to 1 for the Dryad and 2 for the Elite Dryad
* the ability heals 1HP per Dryad
The question is if the healing should increase with more Dryads on the field.

Oak Guardian/ Oak Warrior:
* removed ability Symbiosis, the HP of the both creatures is 7
* decreased the cost of Oak Warrior from 9 to 8
* grammatical correction
