ART: flaivoloka (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1160560) IDEA: Drake_XIV NOTES: Because I'm temporarily obsessed with this: Also, exploring more / stuff.  And where better to do that with Immaterial and time limits. The time the creature is immaterial is randomly chosen from 2 to 5 turns. SERIES:

why would i use this over anubis?  i guess offensively against the opponent, but even then there are better options.

A dominantly deck with lite also allows for easier use of SoW [Dune Scorp?].  And then there's the CC portion.

I guess it could do with a drop in cost though.

temporarily means one turn? i am worried that the CC is to strong. i do like the thematic fit however, and believe that it is balancable. maybe just up the activation cost.

We have Notes for a reason.  Currently, the range is 2 to 5 turns.  I may change that to 3 to 5 or 3 to 6.

Yet you recognize them.  *shrugs*

Why not make it a stable 3 turns? Like Freeze. The idea is interesting but i don't know if you should be able to do that every turn though. It's a doom clock right now ("You now have 3 turns to live poor creature, enjoy!").

By the way i was assuming you could re-invul a creature on the turn it loses its Fate Matrix invul. Did i get this right?

I think this would make more sense as a spell, but that's not possible right now (because of the dual quanta costs).  How would does the idea of making it a permanent that requires sacrificing for its effect?

Sometihing like (all numbers are SWAGs):

Fate Matrix | Fate Matrix

2 , permanent.    , sacrifice: Destiny (effect as described.)

2 , permanent.   , sacrifice: Destiny (as described).

Just a thought.  It's a neat mechanic, but CC on a stick just doesn't seem suitable for  ; and too much hard CC in  might be a little OP.  The sacrifice mechanic means a maximum of 6 uses in a deck - enough to pull of a number of ridiculous combos (Adrenalined SoW, anyone?), but without the potential of a 2-card lockdown (Fate Matrix + PA = win vs non-rush decks).

I really like the thematics of this idea, Drake.   / could use some synergies, to take the strain off of poor Anubis.

I personally like the way that this card incorperates  and  synergy. It completely fits both elements. I just wonder about the CC being a bit too much in this case.
