ART: Thalas IDEA: ddevans96 NOTES: Someone got a certain metal song stuck in his head and decided to Google the origin of the name. You can see where I got the information from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandman I chose for the creature itself because of the name and folklore. Sand is something I associate with earth because it is part of the earth. I chose for the ability because I associate sleep with darkness. Darkness also seems to like to strengthen itself little by little such as with vampirism and nightfall. Sleep is a status effect represented by an inverted darkness symbol. A creature in sleep is affected the same way as a frozen or delayed creature, with the addition passive abilities are deactivated. When a creature in Sleep takes damage the status is removed. Any comments are highly appreciated. Art would be very welcome as well. SERIES:

I think it's been that Egyptian theme which makes me relate Sandman to . Aside from that interesting idea, reminds me of the Songbird by Ajit.

[ddevans96]

I was hoping nothing like this had been done before. I did search the crucibles but not the smithy.

Thanks for the feedback. I can see why time would be good but I don't think it relates to Egypt much at all. Sand can be associated with time though.

This screams Ajit

Anyways, I love the sandman take.

I think your sleep function is OP'd.  The only way to wake up a creature is to damage it?  You could do this to all your opponent's creatures and they would have to spend all their CC waking up their own creatures.

Hm. I didn't think about locking down your opponent's field. Would making it only target your creatures would balance it some?

...So what happened to this?

Like to see it finished!

Updated with great art by Thalas. Also added one defense to the upgraded.

Not really similar. Yours reduces attack, mine keeps it the same but delays and deactivates all abilities. Yours vanishes in three turns, mine is removed by damage. Yours has low stats and in fueled with random quanta, mine has mid-range stats and is fueled by elemental quanta.

But, if you insist they're so similar...*compares dates* Yeah, you might want to change yours X)

Too many puns popped into my head just at the name of this card. The song you mentioned in the notes, LoZ ALttP, etc.

I like it; simple and it works;

*imagines this + poison in endless combo.

[ddevans96]

Poison could be interesting with this card...I hadn't thought about that. Requires a trio to work, but it would be fun. Kind of like Meat Wagon actually.

Just run Parasite off a death mark and a pendulum or 2

Meat wagon?
