Melt | Thaw

NAME: Melt ELEMENT: Water COST: 1 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Unfreeze a creature to generate 3X and X quanta of the target element. X = freeze turns remaining.	NAME: Thaw ELEMENT: Water COST: 1 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Unfreeze a creature to generate 3X and X quanta of the target element. X = freeze turns remaining.

ART: Stock photo (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1126041) IDEA: GirlsGeneration NOTES: Basically version of immolation, but somewhat different. Instead of generating 1 quantum for every element, it generates lots of and a bulk of quanta of the creature's element. Think of it as the creature's essence smearing out in the molten water. Number of freeze turns left also play a role. Used with Congeal, the combo generates 12 and 4 extra quanta for a cheap cost of 2 (1 and 1 random upgraded) Just like Immolation, it can only be used on own creatures. SERIES:

If I got this right, I has creature. I freeze said beasty with Congeal, making the poor thing cold for 4 turns. Right after I give the beasty the cold shoulder, I use Thaw to generate 4 .

I like the idea, but I sorta feel it is a bit weak. Maybe X+1? How about 4 + 6 random quanta?

Either way, it's a nice counter for those pesky Permafrost Shields.

Why not allow the thawing to effect the opponent's creatures?

7 |11
for 2 cards seems to be about par with Immolation|Cremation [7/18|9/20]

Does it make sense to give quanta acceleration though? (Especially of the level of an immolation since is more of a stall/contol element while is a speed/rush element)

hmm i actually might go for certain number of water quanta and target creature's quanta... except i won't be able to fit everything into the description box <_<

The main motivation was ice bolt / lance.

besides, water does have good rushes.

What I like about this idea is that it gives Water a bit a quanta boost. That opens up some interesting ideas

[EmeraldTiger]

I see a repetitious argument to ideas, when an element dips into effects and/or abilities of another element. I think this is a good idea. It may do something similar to but this comes to my mind. (http://imageplay.net/view/m7Gbd94307/yy_fr_wtr)

(All elements should be able to build good rush decks and good control decks)

I was thinking that elements that specialize in rushes should have more efficient rush cards and less efficient control cards while elements specialized in control should have more efficient control cards and less efficient rush cards.

All elements should have rush cards and control cards but not all quanta is equal when spent toward a type of card.
I think maybe 3X with a cost of 2|1 would be sufficient to make it fit with water's specialization being more control than rush.

Might be more powerful than freeze.

I actually really like this idea.  I especially like that it's logical -- gain water quanta for melting a frozen creature.  That makes sense.

No criticism from me.. I think this is a very nice idea.  (:

Updates.

- Now generates water quanta and target creature's quanta.
- Cost 1 / 0 ---> 1 / 1

Sorry, but why isn't this a Fire card?  I can see it producing , but isn't thawing and melting a product of heat?
