I was kind of suggesting the quanta cost by thinking of a spell that doesn't harm the creature...

What do you mean?

[Retribution]

When I said the cost should be 4/3, I meant the effect should only be for sucking HP, not depleting the creature to 0/1. That's pretty much even worse than insta kill, it's putting a useless creature on their side of the field.

Okay, that might work. Bring the stats down to X|1? There is a reason I don't like that, though. It would be near useless on, say, a phoenix.

Isn't the goal of the effect to get some healing from their stats?

Yes, which is why your idea wouldn't work on a phoenix. It's HP can't be lowered without killing it.

[Retribution]

Who said that you had to lower HP...?

[ddevans96]

Um, you did. See here:

By sucking HP, I meant gaining health equal to the monster's ATK/HP, like your previous effect.
Sorry if I was unclear.

Oh, but without lowering any stats? That would work, I suppose.

[Retribution]

I guess it could do something like -1/-1, to make it equal to heal. (I highly doubt the effect will heal more than 20)

Can you target your enemey's creatures? If so, then I say it's at least a little overpowered. You can completely negate any high-attacking creature and heal up at the same time.

Titan+flying weapon+this=three card combo with 3 different elements (or 2 with animate weapon) for 80 heal. Miracle=1 element combo for full heal.

I don't think it's overpowered.

The Table says 8|7 and the cards say 4|3 for costs, you'll need to fix this disparity.
