ART: Vrt http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-art/stuff-i-made/ IDEA: Blacksmith NOTES: I thought it was about time fire got another weapon. I also like how it is different to most other weapons and how it's evil to everyone. What I also focused on when making this was to improve fire as an element without improving the fire rush. To clarify It does not remove cloak. It does not damage burrowed and immaterial foes. It's damage can be blocked by shield since it's physical damage. Here is it's flown stats. Spoiler for Hidden: Here are some of it's uses. Thank you Fabian who made this. Spoiler for Hidden: Works with: How: Countering: Quintessence/Turquoise Nymph As your creatures are immortal, it won't affect them. If your opponent has any of these cards(Nymph get from egg), then your weapon would only harm you in a matter of turns. Lava Golem, Forest Spirit As these grow, the HP goes up, so they'll gain 1 HP per turn but they won't die. If your opponent plays any of these before you play Lava Staff, then they'll survive no matter what. Fractal Voodoo The damage dealt to your fractaled voodoos will affect the opponent's HP. With nightfall it would be 46 max dmg per turn for 17 turns. Maximum 23 dmg per turn because of Lava Staff, and even worse with Nightfall. Stalls/OTKs No creatures mean no harm to you but it will affect your opponent's creatures. You'll only harm your creatures because your opponent doesn't have any. Rushes You'd kill unburrowed creatures. A strong rush against this weapon is Shrieker Rush. You'd kill your own creatures unless you have Shrieker Rush with Lava Golems(To make fire also effective ).

Deal damage to everything? Meaning deals 1 damage to every creature on the field? Yours and your opponent's? All of fire's creaures share low hp (seraph 1, phoenix 1, ruby 2 , golem 1, spectre 3, brimstone 1) I dont see how this would improve fire rush as soon as it would prolly kill all of your creatures. I suggest something like deals 1 damage at the end of your turn to all of your opponent's creatures perhaps?

This isn't supposed to improve fire rush, if anything it's for use in a fire stall (where you have no creature to get hurt) but I'd still never use this with fire creatures. With fractal voodoo dolls, oh yus!

Could you define "everything"? Is it all creatures, your opponent and yourself OR all creatures and your opponent OR non-immaterial creatures and your oppoent or something else?

[Higurashi]

Another weapon? This is just a normal permanent card.

Typo in the notes: "whiteout" is "without".

At cost in the table, you should do 5 , not 5 since that's a tautology.

Ah sorry for not explaining well enough. Answer added in the op.

Nope this is actually meant to be a weapon, even if it so far only exists 12 weapons in the game.  But you think it would fit better as a permanent?

Ah thank you as always for correcting me.

And sure I'll  change that, it didn't make it easier to see as I originally thought.

[Higurashi]

There are more than 12 weapons, but its template doesn't look like a weapon since it does no physical damage. Do you want it to be a weapon because it's more balanced if you can't just play 6 of 'em?

Hm thats actually a good point, now maybe I have to change name and image. Well I wanted to make a weapon not a permanent, it could work as a permanent too without being to unbalanced with a cost increase I guess.

And sure there are more than 12 weapons, but there are only 1 weapon for each element so far.

Interesting. As a weapon, I like it much better. Would be a little too easy to abuse as a standard permanent.

The voodoo doll combo will still be very potent.
Should be fun with stall tactics as well.

I really like that the effect is quite simple but has some very far reaching strategic affects.

Very nice card.

There is still one important detail you need to address before it is ready, however: what are its flown stats?

... and remind me how you are attempting to harm the opponent with your pulsating lava. What kind of weapon is that ._.

AH thank you, I'm happy you like it. I don't know but maybe I have to rename this card. It's actually not lava, it's like on the picture, someone who beams out lava.

I totally forgot about it's flown stats. That opens a even wider strategical use for it since you can use more than 1 of it at the same time. I think that 3-5 hp would be okay and that it's attack would be 0 but that it's ability ( which could be named pulsating lava ) still activated at end of every turn just like psion.

Is it blocked by shields? Does it dissipate cloak? Is it reflected?

... So someone beaming out lightning is a thing... should lightning be a weapon card then...? I'm sorry, but pulsating lava is still not an actual weapon, it is just a means of attack.
