Yet another spell, this time red. It's got nice synergy with lots of damage dealing cards, especially red ones. Thoughts?

[ZephyrPhantom]

So this is a follow-up to AoE CC?  That's interesting.  I think the card is balanced in that case, but it is pretty cost ineffective unless you have RoF or Thunderstorm.

[YoYoBro]

Or fire buckler, or some other form of spot damage (so that you can use it to help destroying something bigger that would take a great effort to kill).

Anyway, as you pointed out, the main aim of this card would be to introduce the concept of follow-up CC, which would be a little but interesting addition to this game (IMHO).

[ddevans96]

The concept seems like a great idea. 9 quanta to instant-kill more than half the creatures in the game seems overpowered though, especially since fire can produce quanta very quickly. I would lower the upped to 6 instead of 8 HP and lower the cost of the upped by 1.

[YoYoBro]

Will consider tweaking it, thanks for the feedback

[ddevans96]

Also one question. Does this affect immaterial creatures?

[YoYoBro]

Hmm, since it would require very specific card interaction (read: fire buckler) I guess it could also work without breaking this card at all..

[Werdbooty]

I can see nasty chains of pain happening here...Air & Fire just got all kinds of new fun.

Looks balanced...ddevans does have a point tho...that's a lotta insta-kill right there. I don't know about the costs but the upped version could probably use a nerf.

[YoYoBro]

Maybe like this? Only raising the threshold by 1 looked like a poor upgrade, so I even lowered the cost by one (no such a big deal for fire).

[ZephyrPhantom]

To be honest this shouldn't affect immaterial creatures. Come on people,we're talking arrows here. ^^;

To lower cost for upped, then I'd say keep it at 5 HP. Either:

 3 for both and death to 5HP/6HP.
or

Death to 5Hp for all and 3  / 2 

[YoYoBro]

I'll consider removing the cost decrease from 3 to 2 when more people post their opinions thanks again tho

[Werdbooty]

A thought - would this remove invisibility on healthy creatures, or does it only affect creatures who've already been damaged?
