ART: Stock: KitsuStock (http://kitsustock.deviantart.com/art/Small-Bird-Skull-6-63541484) allowed to use.  Edited by Ajit IDEA: Ajit NOTES: Featherless would be a new passive skill.  Featherless causes creatures that are poisoned to gain +1/+1 every turn for each poison counter on them.  Creatures with featherless that are not poisoned gain -1/+0 every turn. Note that poisoned creatures still take the damage from the poison, so at the end of the round their HP is still 1. Note that creatures with the passive ability featherless can get a negative attack stat. Changes - 1. Changed Featherless' effect from changing all airborne creatures into Dry Wings to gaining the passive ability Featherless. SERIES:

NAME: Dry Wing ELEMENT: Death COST: 3  TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0|1 TEXT: Featherless: +1/+1 for every poison counter on Dry Wing each turn.  -1/+0 if not poisoned.	NAME: Dry Wing ELEMENT: Death COST: 3  TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0|2 TEXT: Featherless: +1/+1 for every poison counter on Dry Wing each turn.  -1/+0 if not poisoned.

I really like this card I think it's balanced and works nicely.

[Ajit]

Ahh yesss! Someone with 1600 posts likes my card, add +1 to confidence stat!

...lol oh jeez I play games like this too much.  But thanks Kamietsu haha

I like general concept, but I don't like how it can wipe some things from the field.

"Oh you have several incredibly hard to remove massive dragons on the field? Well now they're all worthless."

I'm also not a fan of how it completely ruins some elements. For example, all of air's creatures are airborne, and playing this would effectively kill all of them. The same goes for light.

I'm not sure exactly what I'd do to fix it, but I'll get back to you.

I think a better name for Dry Wing would be Deceased Archeopteryx.

So it cannot die by poison? That's a bit... intriguing. As long as it has poison on it, it cannot die, since it will keep getting stronger.

But for the moment, it is OP. After all, there are no cards in the game that remove poison from creatures. This + Parasite = a creature that can't die from poison, and whose attack and health increase drastically each round.

[AnonymousRevival]

Fractal a bunch of parasites and you get this super strong Dry Wing.

[Nepycros]

So in the end, its health will always be 1 without boosts, so it's as weak to any other CC as a parasite itself. I guess it's balanced, since you'd need to get some way to boost its health.

As it stands this card can be used offensively to situationally negate large numbers of attackers and gain massive regeneration if that happens. (Few decks pack both Airborn and Infect)

Maybe change Dry Wings into a passive ability and have all airborn creatures keep their attack but gain the Dry wings passive?

[joebob777]

not really sure if making i a passive ability would help much, think about dragons, i think they are airborne (correct me if im wrong)

[OldTrees]

yes dragons are airborn however if this card is changed so it does not reset the attack to 0 initially it would be easier to balance.

[Ajit]

Cool thanks for the advice people, to clarify I think some of you got it, but to clarify,

A Dry Wing gets +1/+1 for every poison, but the poison still hurts it, in other words, its HP never actually rises, it stays at 1hp.

Anyways I see that this would absolutely destroy an Airborne heavy deck such as mono-air, so I'll work on some way to prevent that.

**EDIT**

OK so I've updated the cards.  Now Featherless gives all airborne creatures on the field the passive ability featherless.  Dry Wings now are now available as a separate card.
