ART: Unupped: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/980370 Upped: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/980368 Brain Rot: None, it's just gray. IDEA: XYTWO NOTES: See below for the card created in your enemy's hand. Prion doesn't stack past having three on your side of the field, due to Brain Rot's effect. If a card is booted out of your enemy's hand by a Brain Rot, then it goes on top of the enemy's deck. I am willing to consider discarding it, if people would prefer that. Yes, Brain Rot's art is supposed to be just the color gray. Prions are malformed proteins that turn your brain into Swiss. They're the cause of mad cow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion SERIES:

That's the card this creates.

Actually, unupped shards cannot leave the player's hand either, so "Can't be played" is perfectly fine for Brain Rot. Just make the cost 0 so players don't accidentaly lose quanta.

Well, I'd like to be clear on what Brain Rot does (just acts as a squatter in your hand) so that people don't try to discard it and discover they can't (and then get forced to discard another card). You're right about the 0 cost, though.

Oh whoops, I actually meant to say "Can't be played or discarded."  My bad.

Any comments before I send this off to the Crucible? (Yes, Brain Rot's image is supposed to be just gray.)

Everything that is playable with nightmare atm is exiting my interest. So is this. I'm just not sure with the mechanics. I f you play prion a brain rot is generated in your opponents hand and the only way to get rid of it is to destroy the permanent, right? If it's the case I don't think that the limit of 3 is necessary. You can still play with 6 slots taken and you can destroy the permanent to get you slot back. Moreover, it becomes interesting to play IMO if you pass the 3 slots occupation. So the cost is very hight if you can not even have a real effect out of it.

I think it's good idea. Can make combo with Ghost of the past... Fill the hand with Rots and Ghosts and your opponent must discard the Ghost.
