One question: if summoned creatures are always 3|3 and never have abilities, why are they mutants? Why not just summon a 3|3 creature?

P.s. mutants without abilities are LAME
lol literally and figuratively

A normal Crimson Dragon is 12/3. A Crimson Dragon that is not 12/3 is a mutant. Basically, I want this to be able to summon all sorts of creatures, but not all creatures are 3/3. So I decided to go with mutants, because they can have any stats and any abilities.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

If it counts for anything, I totally get it, BS.  It wouldn't be a Menagerie if it only summoned a bunch of the same thing over and over again.  :)

If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

Instead of making mutants, the spell could select real creatures from a short pick list

:light - Pegasus
:darkness - Minor Vampire
:life - Cockatrice
:death - Flesh Spider
:air - Firefly
:earth - Graboid
:water - Blue Crawler
:fire - Ash Eater
:gravity - Otyugh
:entropy - Lycanthrope
:time - Fate Egg
:aether - Phase Spider

In as many cases as possible, the card is Animalesque and within the 2-4 cost range. matching the cost you are paying.

Nah. I just think generating mutants is much more convenient.

Updated with images.

I think this card has already received enough attention to qualify for Crucible.

Actually, i agree with Kael here. His solution may mean a little more coding, but it would result in a more plausible result.
Unless you want all creatures that are not animals too.

I don't want this card to strengthen rainbow decks more than it needs to. I want it to generate 3/3 mutants with no abilities.

Perhaps I should just think about this card for one second...
As far as I know, this would be the only card you could rush out multiple copies of.
Imagine a deck with RoL, light mark, adrenaline, rustlers, empathic bonds, and this.
You run out bonds, and a few adrenalined photons to get your light quantum up. Then you play this card, create some more life quantum. Rinse and repeat.
Sounds like a fun little deck ;)

On topic, great card idea/series! I really look forward to an 'advanced spellcasting' series of elements. It bring the focus back to duo/mono decks, which I always look forward to.

CURATOR COMMENT


To Get to the Crucible
- If you are not going to use the :life in the card image you need to remove it from the text in the table
- Even tho the image is public domain, a link to the source is required.

Generate the creatures Kael listed but NO ABILITIES. Plus, it gives the spell a downside - Eternity and Rewind.
