it's a neat idea, but I don't see how this is practical. It's an air card, with an air ability cost, that can only be used on fire creatures. So to use this, you must have at least a duo. And what fire creature would you use this on? asheater? the dragon is already such a high damage creature that using this would probably not be worth the consistency loss.Play against Fire Queen. You will change your mind.

Example:
Mark of Air, of course. ??? = Ornate Fan
THe deck could probably use some work, but I think you see the point. Think how Earthquanta-less Destroyer rushes could change the metagame!

I see Destroyer Rushes functioning without :earth!I think I would rather just use golems with :earth. Faster and more consistent. Because you've essentially traded :earth with :air, and you need way more :air quanta than :earth to do the same thing.

I WORSHIP THE GROUND ON WHICH THIS CARD STANDS.
Edit: I just had a dream about a 17|17 Elite Firefly. With ablaze. //lovingit

-Please fix the COST section so that it matches the card image exactly. ('5 :air' instead of '5')

But if you change Elite Firefly's ability it won't produce fire anymore, so you must be careful when using the Fan...
You can't use it on all of your Fireflies... Very well balanced!

I love it!I just realized that the upgraded one might be worse than the unupgraded one for this reason:
But if you change Elite Firefly's ability it won't produce fire anymore, so you must be careful when using the Fan...

If you use this card in a FFQ deck, you won't need any fire pillars - the fireflies will generate enough.
The upgraded version gives a skill that costs 2 :fire, while the unupgraded card only costs 1 :fire. This means that, to have a positive :fire income at the end of every turn, one would have to have twice as many unfanned fireflies with the upgraded version than with the upgraded version, were you to use the skill every turn.
I will probably either:
- Change the upgraded card so that it is identical to the unupgraded card except it costs one less quanta
- Make the upgraded card cost more so that I can justify making it give " :fire : Growth" instead.
- Make the skill of the upgraded card cost one more :air (for the same reason as above)
I will open a poll shortly.
