This could be interesting if you should find it in a speedbow.

How much does the ability cost?

Interesting alternative to PU, but at the cost of the ability of the creature.

[02:22:32] ~Napalm: It could actually be pretty balanced the way it is

Also, nice art.

Cost of Deja Vu remains 1 ? 1 quanta matching type of card? More than 1 quanta?
Just wondering, since wasn't clarified. I like the idea

[TimerClock14]

It literally gains Deja Vu. So the cost of the ability would be 1 .

Well, this is essential a half priced Lobotomizing PU. Assuming Deja Vu is identical to the card, the ability itself will cost another , so if you take summoning sickness into account and play accordlingly, it's ALMOST a PU for 4 as it is currently, or a TU for 3 , half priced. Because of the nature of the card, I don't know that the Lobotomization of the target is actually that costly. And as such, I might suggest making the card itself cost 4 | 3 . I think it would be balanced better this way.

Good insight. I can see how it could easily become very powerful. But isn't it that way with every card? If you don't mind, I'd like a second opinion. ^^;

Oh by all means! Just don't show this to Jangoo. His buddy Sha'kar might get some ideas.

Mechanical differences between PU vs Remember:
1) PU is an instant spell, Remember has a 1 turn delay with the delay a chance of interruption. [PU is better]
2) PU allows both creatures to keep Activated or Innate (automatic active) abilities. Remember removes Activated or Innate (automatic active) abilities. [PU is slightly better]

Metagame consideration:
These two differences show PU to be a better card for ETG than Remember. This begs the question about whether the game would benefit from an additional card in the PU, Fractal, Mitosis set.

Balance:
PU is worth 8q (7 +1card).
Remember is worth 8q -X (1 turn delay) -Y (Lobotomizing)
A Lobo spell (spells that lobotomize) is worth ~4q minimum. (the value of a theoretical Lobotomy Spell derived from Lobotomizer's skill)

I would estimate X+Y=2q.
Remember is thus worth 8q-2q=6q=5 +1card
Suggested cost: 5 +1card|3 +1card
