To me there is chaos, fire, and death involved here. Sorry, if i put to much realism into this.

why be sorry for that? take a look at the cards here in the forums and in-game. especially this one, it's an environmental series, right? they're pretty much based on real things- with a twist or two

[EmeraldTiger]

OK then this
bomb Spell
Permanent Absorbs 
Do you understand why should be involved?

or
Permanent Absorbs
Because of:

does the fact that Death now has soul catcher make this way too OP?

Not really, it's just the radioactive powders which are carried by the air. Radiation = pieces of atoms shot away from the nucleus, that hit our DNA and destroy it.

EDIT: By the way, it's ATOMIC bomb and not ATMOIC bomb

Ah yes, well done YoYoBro, you spotted my obviously intentional mistake to see who was paying attention *cough, cough* lol


and @DesertKnight
the reason for the name is the environmental theme/inspiration I've had for a few of my cards, starting with compost heap. basically, things like compost heap/wind turbine etc give me the idea for a mechanic which could work in this game. Ultimately, that is what my cards are about, the mechanic, I don't mind what they're called in the end, Zanz can decide if any of them should ever get further than the crucible! lol.
So for now I'll kinda stick to real names using the things which inspired me to do the card, if things ever get serious I'll maybe make a case for changing the name to something more fantasy based etc.  having said that, with things like catapult and crusader in the game, maybe the future is stuff like windmills.... :s

Lmao, you're welcome

In general I think adding a permanent etc for the radioactive waves is a cool idea but over-complicating things.

I am however happy to think of more effects it could have on creatures, like the mutation/lobo etc.

So for now my idea is, keep an amount of damage directed to opponent (otherwise not much incentive to play card...) and have something like "and each creature on the field is subjected to nuclear radiation". In the notes I will explain the nuclear radiation bit using percentages and effects like suggested, once worked out. With this version I would also keep it as death, since I feel that is the overwhelming element with this version of the card.
current idea for radiation chances/options:
50% infection chance
25% infection and mutation chance
10% lobo
5% turns into a malignant cell (i.e. die, nothing should outright kill a creature. I think that's the way it's done in elements...)
10% nothing happens

how do people feel about that?

erm, having said that, looks like my Extinction card (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19606.0/viewresults/poll,1048.html) might become death, so this might have to change :s hmmmmm

One question though: can the damage be reflected by shields?

completely forgot to answer this I think, sorry.

Damage to player can be reflected with appropriate shield, like unstable gas. Poison/nuclear radiation effects all creatures anyway. I guess immortals won't be (they don't get the -1HP from unstable gas do they?)

Frist off I like the concept of the card. However I have some problems with it and mostly it's in the name and basic "age" of the card.

1. Please remember this is a "Fantasy Card Game" not a "Sci-Fi Card Game".
   a. It's just high in tech level to fit the theme.

I guess thats my biggest gripe about some of the cards.

and you have a valid point. As mentioned in the above spoiler, I'm kinda using things in life to give me the idea, name can always be changed. I will try come up with something which is more elements, but can still hint at the environmental theme I'm sort of running atm. E.g. if air has unstable gas, this could be 'infected gas' or similar..dunno. Open to suggestions, and am aware some have already been made/posted.

thanks everyone for feedback
