Kuroaitou
NOTES: [/color][/b]
A useful shadow card that can be kept in play - the original idea however, was to have this card 'feed' off of light (or light-generating creatures), and the more light there is, the stronger (or darker) the shadow is. However, I've decided to put this down first, to determine whether or not its ability should require  :darkness quanta instead of  :light quanta (or Bioluminescence), and also to see if anyone likes the idea of a elemental 'shadow' that can deal damage.

Inspired slightly by Pride from Fullmetal Alchemist.

EDIT: The card has been modified; instead of granting immortality and increasing HP (or AP, for the upgraded), it now requires  :light quanta in order to do heavy damage, which supports the usage of Duo  :darkness/ :light decks.

The card has been modified to be a creature version of Farenheit.

SECOND Edit: Upgraded creature HP has been decreased in respect to its new ability of 'Darken'. Now acts as a direct counter to RoL + Fractal + Hope decks, as it's Attack is based on how many creatures with 'light' (the passive ability - bioluminescence). A Shadow Dancer/Fighter doesn't deal much damage, but the more light sources there are, the 'darker' it becomes, which means that the stronger it becomes (darker shadow = more tangible shadow = more damage). Even without Bioluminscence-affected creatures on the field, with An Eclipse/Nightfall, it still does respectable damage in comparison to other  :darkness creatures.

Wait, so if you use the ability every turn, then this creature will never die?  :o
 The unupped version wouldn't even be affected by firewall, in theory.

Costs and Effects seem fair. Picture looks good.
You should take some time to think about your alternate idea.

Your image is an odd size 310x480 where the standard template is 282x436
Are you converting the template or stretching it in production?

I took some time to rethink my original idea, and I've come up with something that is... significantly much more different than the current version. I hope Farenheit-lovers don't get angry with me.  ^-^

On another note Kael, I realized that when I upload these pictures to Imageplay, I accidentally kept on resizing them to the 'Forum Layout' option, because I thought without those, the cards wouldn't upload properly (I couldn't figure out how to deal with the 'img' '/img' coding). I've fixed them up recently in the last edit, and they should no longer be 'stretching' (if it still is, tell me immediately, because image uploading/conversions from .jpg or .png to .pxd and vice versa are annoying as hell.

Wait, so if you use the ability every turn, then this creature will never die?  :o

Correct. It's why I've decided to remove the immortality effect (even though shadows technically are intangible, I'd figure that the coding process to make something 'temporarily' invincible is something that would be tedious in itself).

:)

I can get 100+ light quanta easy with any FFQ (un upped)  deck or FG killing RoL/Fractal deck. This is OP? Especially since it attacks every turn, and four times a turn with adrenaline.

What do you mean, +100 light quanta? It's VERY hard to get that with FFQ producing fireflies every turn.

You'd have to be using creatures that utilize Air and Shadow (Firefly Queen and Shadow Dancer), then throw up Life quanta into the mix also (for Adrenaline and the FFQ's ability, which is just too much at once). I don't think this should necessarily be included in a trio-deck, since it's pretty hard to do so. My main objective with this card is to have it create synergy between light and darkness (which to me, is very lacking in the game). Initially I had it only use  :darkness quanta, but that made mono-darkness even more powerful, which isn't what I want.

I see your point with RoL/Fractal, but again, you're going to need to generate that  :darkness quanta somehow to play these guys down, and unless your opponent has no way of getting rid of RoL easily, then yes, this card can be especially OP.

I suppose I'll have to do another edit, but I still have a general concept of this card: play it, and now you have a physical shadow that can be used to damage your opponent, but if you want to get the most use out of it, you need some form of light.
