IDEA: asymmetry NOTES: Reflect has nothing to do with immortality. Quicksilver CAN be targeted, and die like any creature. Just not from direct damage. Affected by:   Maxwell's paradox   Fallen elf | Fallen druid's mutation   Mutation | Improved mutation   Antimatter   Butterfly effect   Plague | Improved plague   Virus | Retrovirus   Aflatoxin   Momentum | Unstoppable   Otyugh's devour    Plate armor | Heavy armor   Basilisk blood    Adrenaline | Epinephrine   Thorn carapace's poison   Rage potion | Elixir   Immolation | Cremation   Freeze | Congeal   Toadfish's inflate   Mind flayer | Ultharid's psyonic wave   Flooding | inundation   Holy Light   Guardian angel | Archangel's heal   Blessing   Luciferin | Luciferase   Shockwave if frozen   Reverse time | rewind   Eternitie's rewind   Scarab's devour   Procrastination | Turtle shield's delay   Quintessence   Parallel universe | Twin universe   Lobotomizer | Electrocutor's lobotomize   Fractal    Drain life | Siphon life ??? (not pretty sure about this one, is it usually reflected?   Parasite | Bloodsucker's infection   Liquid shadow Reflects:   Firebolt | Firelance   Rain of fire | Firestorm   Fire wall | Fire buckler   Icebolt | Ice lance   Thunderstorm   Unstable gas field damage (who triggered it is not relevant)   Owl's eye | Eagle's eye sniper   Shockwave   Lightning | Thunderbolt Am I missing something? Ignores:   Gravity pull   Reflective shield | Mirror shield*   Emerald shield | Jade shield* *As it already happens in the game, damage can't be reflected more than once... which would be paradoxical and may result in an infinite damage-bouncing loop.

Wait so uhh, wut

What is it exactly not affected by 

[King of doom]

um... I don't get it.

[Baily18]

it reflects all those things he put in notes  and is unaffected by gravity pull

OP. Unkillable without a shield = No.

I dont like it. This and quintessence is OP..


This + 2 upped blessings and a rage pot = +16|+4 On a 2|1 creature = 18|5 unkillable and reflects onto your opponent.

Even without blessing, fractal it for a field of 2|1 unstobbable damage (With quints)..

Or just playing this card ALONE = OP.

I tried to be as specific as possible :c
Let's see.. it's not the coolest ability, but i can't make it too powerful, since it's cheap.

Some hypothetical situations
1) You have some random creatures and four of these. Opponent casts a RoF, Quicksilvers reflect 3 damage each.
2) Opponent casts a fire shield. You cast quicksilver and adrenaline over it. It reflects -5
3) Octane! you make a deck to beat this particular false god. You have 10 quicksilvers via fractal. Each UG detonation would reflect 10 field damage. EE can't touch them.

OP. Unkillable without a shield = No.

Why not? there are already immortal creatures and no one complains, and ANY shield other than the fire one makes quicksilvers pretty useless.
but...even if I carefully listed 14 ways it can die, including spells and abilities... you're partly right... reflect can't be a passive ability. Qs+BE+quint is a game over.

How about making it active? so it can be loboed and BE/liquid shadow "overwrites" it?

Any other ideas?

Devouring quicksilver --> poisoned.

I know this discussion was a month ago, but voting just came up.

I don't understand--You think Quintessence, the Aether card, is OP, or this card played with a quint on it is OP?

Why can't it be passive?  BE+Quint is already a combo in game (see Dream Catcher).
Wouldn't Quint actually be a counter to this card, since the only thing that would be reflected at that point is Fire Shield?

Devouring quicksilver --> poisoned.

Nice idea.

[EvaRia]

How is this with quintessence OP?
If it's immortal, nothing can target it, and if nothing can target it, it can't reflect anything.
In any case, I don't think this card makes sense because most of the things it reflects the opponent can simply choose not to target it with.
Does this make the opponent have to target quicksilver with direct damage spells?
If you know it's gonna reflect your spell back on you, you just don't cast the spell on it.

So reflecting firebolt, icebolt, shockwave, lightning, sniper, all useless.

2 people with quicksilvers = endurance race to see who quits first.

Thanks to all the people who helped with their ideas.
I think Voodoo Doll does te job right now, It'd be cool to have a vanilla reflecting creature, but now it's not that unique anymore.
