-An old picture of a jack-o-lantern I carved back in 2006. I took it at night so all the camera picked up was the light from the candle emanating from the carved out portions. The wicked fiery look came out way better then I anticipated
IDEA:
OdinVanguard
NOTES:
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. So I thought I would make some cards in its honor.

I wanted to make a cool dark-fire synergy card inspired by the picture.
The attack power reduction is supposed to mimic a fear like effect (e.g. the enemies become too scared of the flaming ghost that the lose effectiveness in battle)
The effect is permanent and cumulative (though building it up may take some work since targeting is somewhat random). The creatures current (not max) attack will be reduced and the percent will round up. (so a creature with attack of 1 will lose its attack)
If the fear is bad enough the stress will actually damage the victim as well. The chance for this could be fixed or based on relative attack or hp… I haven't decided yet (and am open to suggestions there)

By column I mean a 1 card thick vertical line centered on the jack-o-lantern. Any card touching the line is affected (see below for example)

Example of column splash effect:
X = Jack-O-Lantern Spirit
O = unaffected creature
A = affected Creature

O O O A A O O O
  O O O A O O O     Opponent's Field
O O O A A O O O
--------------------
O O O O O O O O
  O O O X O O O     Owner's Field
O O O O O O O O

Looks interesting. By column, you mean oponents creatures with the number of slot like this creatures number of slot?(for example oponent has a creature in slot 5, and you have this in slot 5 it affects it)

Yes. So something like this:

X = Jack-O-Lantern Spirit
O = unaffected creature
A = affected Creature

O O O A A O O O
 O O O A O O O     Opponent's Field
O O O A A O O O
--------------------
O O O O O O O O
  O O O X O O O     Owner's Field
O O O O O O O O

I'll add it to the notes

I thought of a similar field concept but making a petrify effect, the card i was thinking of would be named medusa but then i saw a very similar card and never realize it. i like the fear idea and the theme is great.
