ART: Ajit, original image by OCAL (http://www.clker.com/clipart-15089.html) allowed to use under Terms of Use IDEA: Ajit NOTES: I had difficulty with the wording, but that is what I came up with. DAMAGE: If a player targets Trap Fiend with a spell or a permanent, they take 4 damage. If a creature targets Trap Fiend with an ability, the creature receives damage equal to their current HP. If a creature kills Trap Fiend, that creature is killed. This card also deals damage to the opponent if they use something like RoF Strategy; Initial strat I came up with.. Eclipse + Trap Fiend for a pseudo-immaterial creature.  The only way to take them out is to take more damage. SERIES:

Nice art!!

Good mechanic too. Reminds me a little of Voodoo Doll though.

[Ajit]

Thanks

mm hadn't thought of that... It can be adjusted to another element if things are too close perhaps.

i like the mechanic, good card and nice art, but you might want to give a little more motivation for destroying it, gravity pull anyone?

that was my original idea before anything with this card... but with the current fact that if it is targeted with anything, it dies... well then it just wouldn't work

Its a potential idea for a different card though!

[Hyroen]

I could see it being Earth's.

[Ajit]

Yeah if i change it it will either be Earth or... perhaps Death.  I'm thinking scary enchanted trap if it moves to death.

[rohlfo]

can it be lobo'd? I assume not, trying to lobo it will set off the trap?

[Jappert]

Really nice idea!
It's not like voodoo doll since this unit actually does damage and is designed to kill a creature, not really reflect damage to a player. I think Death is the best Element for it.
I think skills like lobotomize should set it off aswell.

What will shield effects do to it? (Spine Carapce and Fire Shield)

Nice art btw, well done!

[Ajit]

Lobo will set it off.  If a creature attempts to lobo it, that creature will die.  If a player uses a weapon to lobo it, the player will take 4 damage
