Darkrobe
NOTES:
Inspired by the number of cards Ive seen that benefit from group mechanics. Originally I thought to make it a creature with the ability "peer pressure" but I think this might be a cleaner idea.

So basically this card is meant to turn swarms to your advantage, if you have a bunch of creatures on your side of the field and your opponent has only 1 or 2. play this card and laugh while they get beat up by their own creatures.

It can also be played as a counter to things like malignant cell. they have filled your field with malignant cells?  play this card and gain the advantage of numbers and pressure the opponents creatures to kill him while you sit back.

Pressure? Coercion? Threaten? Mind Control?

Idk, but anything other than what happens to kids in high school :P

Haha. you cant blame me. i watched alot of anderson coopers segments on highschool bullying lately. and it didnt occur to me to think up a different name.

I like coercion. good suggestion. I think I will change it. give me a second.

Nothing much. It's cool, seems balanced, but it's hard to consider how situational it is.

It's not that situational. Actually, you can control how much you flood your field. Use it with pestal, and done! I still wonder... What happens if a vampire creature attacks his owner?? It heals the damage it does? Or it heals the opponent?

Oh, i hadnt considered that. But the way i think about the card, your creatures pressure the other creatures to attack their owner, so they would act as if they were your creatures. so my initial impression is that it would heal you. not the opponent. (dealing damage to the opponent and them healing them in the same turn doesnt make much sense to me)

What happens if both players have the same number of creatures?

Yah, nothing happens. It would basically be like a 3 turn sundial. because neither players has less creatures.

On a side note. the creatures would still attack during their owners turn. so on your attack turn. if they have more than you. your creatures attack you. if they have less. your creatures attack them, if they have the same. your creatures dont attack.
