Piranha | Elite Piranha

[OldTrees]

Looks in the ballpark. (Which is all I can say since it is a new mechanic) At most it would be +/- 1 CastingCost

[Rutarete]

well, first of all, i liked the previous picture better.
second, looks pretty good. a fractal of these would be annoying, just like scarbs

[EmeraldTiger]

Did i take care of any possible questions with the notes?

Perhaps you were inspired by totem?

Like the idea a lot now though. Creative way to solve the argument from before.

I take it once piranha become a pack the transformation is final.

Also I take it catapult involves flinging a bunch of fish at the opponent? Raining fish....

Very interesting mechanic. However I don't think that reverse-timing the pack should make the whole pack go away.

It should either put some percentage of piranha's back in the deck, or, at the very least 1.

Does anyone else agree with this? I was trying to provide a good counter to the pack.

Well, it's not like players would pack RTs in their decks just to counter this I think..

Idk, seems needlessly convoluted and complex to me.

I think a pack should return to deck as a piranha when played. Also, I think you should change n to equal maximum attack +1, or increase the piranha costs by 1 (2 , 3 ) and give them the starting stats of 1|1 and 1|3. Although I assume you could use unupped piranhas and nibble the other one get one with 1 attack...meh. Also, I think you should change the pack trigger to 3, because 5 is just asking for fractals, and that means that that mechanic is exclusive to aether-water duo.

Of course, this could be all part of your master plan to introduce such a complex monster that's so situational. I really don't even know if it's that situational or not..

[EmeraldTiger]

updated. Is still cost balanced?

[YoYoBro]

Yep. About the 1st attack mechanic, what about stating the first attack doesn't raise its HP?

[EmeraldTiger]

Anyone else got an idea about this?

If a player plays a pack from hand, and there are no Piranhas in play, or does not buff it, it dies. Should this still be true? Because 1 successful attack will generate hp. Then i think it would turn a pack into a single Piranha

Perhaps the pack card could not actually be a card you buy/play etc. it's just what happens when you summon 3 Piranhas (to strengthen them and so that you have more space on field for more creatures), just a thought.
