Scald | Scald

If you're worried about Purify, you could specify that it removes burn status? (at least it fits thematically)

True. But I was only citing it for comparison; it's clear that 5 quanta and 2 cards for +2/+0 per turn on one creature isn't that awesome compared to SoP.

Essentially +6 attack/turn, and can be used 7 times on the upped version

I can't help, however, but have hilariously impractical visions of something like massive dragon + mitosis + this (and then shard of readiness! :p) or, even more ridiculous, titan + animate weapon + antimatter + butterfly effect + antimattter + this.  In practice, I think the best use would be with forest spectre, shard of patience, squid+SoP decks, and the aforementioned steam machine.

Just wanted to note again a comparison between Scald and Rage Potion in terms of Steam Machine.

In the all-upped scenario, a single Scald indeed quickly (after 4 turns) overpowers Rage Elixer, as well as being cheaper by 1 quanta. However, Rage Elixer can be used repeatedly on the same Steam Machine, while extra Scalds will become dead cards.

However in the all-unupped scenario, Scald is clearly inferior to Rage Potion. You can only use "steam" twice before you kill the Steam Machine, meaning that the most you can get is +4/-4, which is less than Rage Potion's instant +5/-5, and there's no limit on the amount of times you can use the ability.

Actually, Steam Machines have 15 hp when upgraded

And? It's still slower and more prone to bad draws. ._.

Updated with new art and submitted.~ Make sure you vote for it if you see it in the Crucible!

It can be quite powerful with Squids and Steamies against no CC, and I see it as a NICE card. It also makes a good use of Plate Armor with creatures with Ablaze (or growth, don't remember which one don't gives HP)
