ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/125091 IDEA: SnoWeb NOTES: "Necrophilic" is a passive ability and cannot be lobotomised. If he wants to discard the maggot, its owner must first sacrifice one of his creatures. I suppose red circles will appear on the creatures when you click to discard the card. If he cannot sacrifice a creature (because he doesn't have any in play) the owner must sacrifice 10 HP. "Necrophage" means scavenger. It is an active ability passively triggered. It can be lobotomised. SERIES: Invasive creature series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,23363.0.html)

total ownage with nightmare.. , i like it.

See vulture for how powerful Necrophage is. (Scavenger>Necrophage except when used with flooding.)

Interesting Nightmare effect. But probably worth a cost increase.

All in all the cost should probably increase.

support.

and for me...  it's so better than skeleton/elite (and great with too)

Think it should cost 2|2; if your opponent doesn't have a shield maggots are very powerful, but against a 1DR Shield they're totally useless, while condor/vulture is quite good.

It's very situational, but I think 6/7 HP is more balanced.

I increased the cost of the unupped version to 2 . The new upped version corresponds to the previous unupped (cost still 1 ) but does not have the double effect any more.

The sacrifice cost stays at 10 HP because it will happen very rarely and should have a dissuasive impact.

Sacrifice cost is too much.  It essentially destroys your opponent's hand.  At 8 cards, your opponent would be destroying his units on top of having a reduced hand, on top of not being able to draw extra cards.  That's a lot for such a cheap spam unit. (Actual power of unit is 2 or 3, since it synergizes both with Darkness' Eclipse and Nightmare).
