I still think it's too powerful for such a cost.  :-X Later in the , when your opponent actually has a 30/30 Lava Destroyer or something.. they can pay for the cost with ease. So, I assume this card would reach the field earlier before such a predicament happens.

What happens when you kidnap a Burlap sack and put it into another Burlap Sack..? I am hoping the answer is not double asphyxiation.
AHA I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD SAY THAT

Thats why I made the sack immortal xD. Also gets rid of the pesky reverse time problem
 Epic Win on my part

It could theoretically be used as an instant kill card if you can force the opponent to not be able to pay for it.

Discord/Black Hole come to mind.

So THAT'S why you needed those images ;)

Time for more stupid questions. Will Burlap Sack be available as a standalone? It would be empty, though; may work well with Eclipse for an immaterial creature ;)

I love these cards. I would make the ransom cheaper; maybe 2 or 3 quanta cheaper, but it looks epic. :) Great cards!

Either that or I could say the ransom wasn't paid on time, so the kidnappers got rid of the hostage. I think there's a common showing in movies that deal with people getting thrown into the ocean inside a burlap sack. Or maybe I'm thinking of the CSI cases I've watched and read.. :-\
What are you suggesting? That if the plastic bag/burlap sack is under flooding, then it dies automatically despite being immaterial? Or it still hogs the creature slot until it dies since technically it is still floating around somewhere with the creature trapped inside  :P

Or do we need a crime scene investigator card?!

Haha still didn't get a chance to thank you for the awesome image for kidnap. so THANKS ICY

If the sack would be available as a standalone, it would still only last 3 turns. So that's pretty much next to useless ( 6 damage with eclipse). The answer would be no it would not be available as a standalone. :(

I though of making it cheaper but decided against it as this would make cards such as freeze or shockwave obsolete.

Of course plastic floats over water DUH! :p  Although it would still only last 3 turns before it and the creature dies :)

Can you try to find a royalty-free picture of an actual burlap sack, maybe with a tail sticking out or something? ^_^

Haha I tried to find a good picture of an actual burlap sack, but then decided the garbage bag looked "better" when put into the darkness frame.

Brilliant idea!! Keep 'em coming assassim!
Thanks :)

This is by far the best thing I've read in the entire card section...

and its not OP.  if you cant come up with 13 quantum over the course of 3 turns, i think your opponent has you by the huevos anyway :p

 

anything
