NOTES:
Version 2: Generate 2 copies upon discard
Version 1: generate 3 copies upon death

Ideally, the copies are summoned in reverse order (from the last creature slot). This is to force the copies to attack and die in the same end-phase that Persephone is discarded to avoid buff abuse.

Note that whatever you would have drawn the next turn is replaced by the creature you draw from the ability, since you need 8 cards to discard Persephone.

Hmm, if i understand it correctly, you can cast 3 dragons for only 6 quanta. Its a 2 card combo, and dragons still die next turn, but could be dangerous...

If I understand correctly, that is 4 of those creatures for the cost of 1, since you draw and play the fourth.  Not to mention, this card can stack, and be used in an otherwise Water deck with SoP.  Seems overpowered.

EDIT: If I am corect again, it is OP if you have a deck of only these... since you draw 1 and generate 3, you just quadrupled your power, and when 3 of those 4 die, they generate 9 more and drawing 3, which will go on endlessly.  Basically the ultimate Malignant Cell.
Rule #1: The Captain is never wrong.  Rule #2: If the Captain is wrong, refer to Rule #1.

I like thie idea, however it seems overpowered. The creatures summoned this way should be immaterial, so that they can't be buffed and stay alive.

I think discard is also an awkward trigger and death makes more sense. In addition maybe the summoned cards could be summoned with x number of poison counters (say, 6?) rather than no health.

But all in all this is pretty good in the current form.

Sooo, technically, you could have an almost pillarless deck with 6 of theese and all dragons... Huh, cool! Not OP at all, it would just lead to some new crazy decktypes (not to mention being used together with Martyr). I like it!
