ART: This, unless someone is willing to make art. IDEA: whatifidogetcaught? NOTES: Today is a day to take risks! Go and learn something new, the mind is beautiful! The "new ability" is any random ability from the following list, and will cost that creature's element: Spoiler for Hidden: Accretion for 7 cost, Paradox for 3 cost, Lycanthropy for 3 cost, Mutation for 2 cost, Destroy for 4 cost, Dead and Alive for 2 cost, Antimatter for 5 cost, Infect for no cost, Web for 2 cost, Scavenger, Deadly Venom, Aflatoxin for 2 cost, Momentum, Gravity Pull (for activation) for 2 cost, Devour for 2 cost, Ablaze for 2 cost, Black Hole for 4 cost, Burrow for 2 cost, Guard for 2 cost, Petrify for 4 cost, Photosynthesis for 2 cost, Growth for 2 cost, Venom, Adrenaline for 3 cost, Divine Shield for 2 cost, Rage for 4 cost, Poison for 2 cost, Inflate/Infection for 2 cost, Psionic Wave for 2 cost, Steam for 3 cost, Nymph's Tears for 5 cost, Dive for 3 cost, Heal for 2 cost, Endow for 4 cost, Luciferin for 5 cost, Firefly for 3 cost, Unstable Gas for 4 cost, Deja Vu for 2 cost, Hatch for 2 cost, Immortality for 4 cost, Scarab for 3 cost, Neurotoxin, Precognition for 3 cost, Vampire, Stone From for 2 cost, Liquid Shadow for 3 cost, Psion. This will override any ability, (i.e., even Momentum will cause the ability "Devour" to disappear.) SERIES:

I like the idea, but I do not feel that this weapon befits light. Light is not about changing the game's elements, and certainly not about randomness. The ability is interesting, but I don't think that it befits aether, being that aether already has the ability lobotomize.

Say...entropy for the ability? The Scalpel's thematic is that a scalpel is a doctor's tool, who are supposed to save lives, which is holy if you ask me.

Entropy or darkness seem to be the best thematic fit to me.

Should it have a different name then?

[OdinVanguard]

Maybe bloody scalpel if you go ... Not sure what to call it if you go ... Maybe call it "Schitzophrenia"

[whatifidogetcaught?]

Like this maybe?

[dragonsdemesne]

It kind of makes sense in light due to the fact that it's named doctor/surgeon scalpel, and light (and doctors) are all about healing, and the aether part does fit with mental skills (or lack thereof; see lobotomy), but the random part definitely fits well with entropy also, though I think leaving it with light and aether is fine.

I'm not sure how I feel about a scalpel hitting somebody for 6 damage, considering its size, but if the damage were lowered, the cost would have to be lowered as well.  The card does look like a lot of fun, and can be used in a lot of different ways, just off the top of my head.  Play it in aether/light, fractal some RoLs and give them funky abilities, play it in a mutant-themed deck and go nuts, or even use it defensively sort of like a lobotomizer and use it on your opponent's creatures, though this could backfire in your face, much like mutating your opponent's creatures.  It also allows for the supreme awesomeness of flying your own scalpel and using it on itself :p
