One of the pretty exchangeable cards. Could be done for any creature...

[Drake_XIV]

But for this art, none would make as much sense.  Anyways, outside of GPull, this gives an alternative means of CC and has slight off synergy with the rest of the cards that makes Merc seem less useless.

I wanted to say that you could do eleven more cards with 'xxx spore'. Just replace the name, art and element...

[Drake_XIV]

Technically, you could, but what's the point?  It'd be overshadowed by Fractal, Graveyard, etc. for most elements.

How does this mechanic fit in the element of Gravity? Was this card design purely around the art?

Not important, I'll cut this kind of feedback out in the future

Yes, this was based more on art than an idea conforming with Gravity.  But to me, this doesn't seem too far off thematically.  For some reason, I have this image of Mercs | Guards being mass produced artificially in a laboratory somewhere....

It would be more justifiable if each Token creature for every element [Dragonfly, Gemfinder, Ash Eater, etc.] were more balanced with each other.  But they aren't.  And if they were, this would have expanded into a series before such a suggestion came along.

Well, maybe I didn't explain myself properly. How would you explain the thematic link between this card and the theme of Gravity, and what the element of Gravity embodies.

In the same way it would be hard to put Flooding in just any other element, why does this card and these mechanics work appropriately in the realm of Gravity?

Ah, I had meant that it doesn't really fit into in itself and was based more around the art than anything, although I also see expanding to accept "cruder" technology, which brings to mind Metroid, which is kind of how I justified this to myself, at least.

To be honest, I was just wondering how I could make Mercenary more used, whether forced or not.  Thematically, this could fit better in , but it's overshadowed by Virus and Aflatoxin and it doesn't fit the art.

I may be stepping away from the main theme here a little, but this coud make a cool "other" type card.
I.e. it would poison the target and cause it to turn into non-dragon "vanilla" creature of the same quanta type as the victim (neutral cards like malignant cell could turn into a random type).

At any rate, its an interesting mechanic. Implementation would likely require creating a new status effect, similar to aflatoxin.

On that note, this poses a question, if both this card and aflatoxin are placed on the same target, which one takes precedence?

Which ever gets used last.
