ART: Hawanja http://freakmutantmonster.blogspot.com/2010/12/kluddities.html IDEA: moomoose NOTES: the chance to silence is 10%, for now at least. the original plan was to have a root which would spawn one of three (see original source image) creatures, sort of like a limited fate egg, but i figured people just looking at the voting threads in level 1 wouldnt 'get' it and wouldnt bother to look at the thread to see the creatures which could come from it.

I like it. But that it has to be in a trio (stat buff, at least for the unupped) is a good balancing factor.

This is good. Fractal+This/Mitosis might be a bit much, though. I don't see why it needs a buff- the stats are fine.

I agree. If anything it is too strong as is. You fractal this sucker and your opponent is pretty screwed.
I suppose it would be okay as is. It would be top priority to kill it for the opponent though. lol.

could reduce the upped one's hp down to 1, should make it less of an issue.

also, even if you have 10 of these on the field, you still wouldnt silence them each turn, on average one would, but in reality, on some turns more than one would proc the effect and on others none would.  its just how chance works.

Very nice, I like it.  We also need more cards like this; abilities or effects that are permanently activated after one use.

Well, let's see...
(nCx)(.1^x)*(.9^(n-x)) x being number of times silence works and n being the number of mandrakes you have.

Since you only need it to work once, all we have to do is find the probability that it won't work, at x=0, and subtract that from 1.
For 10 mandrakes...
Let x=0 and n=10, so that's 1*1*.9^10= 0.3486784401, or 34.9%.
So There's a 65.1 % chance of it working, with 10 on the field...

Okay, you're right. Probably not OP, especially since it would cost 20 quanta for 10, assuming the first 9 failed.

I'm shocked no one has mentioned adrenaline. wouldn't adrenaline help this guy attack about five times? seems a bit much

[Chapuz]

It's not OP at all. In fact, I would reduce it's ability to only  .
