ART: awottawa (Source (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/572379)) IDEA: Smurrf NOTES: Idea came from the old saying that time heals all wounds.  Unique: Only one of these may be in play at any given time.  Subsequent casts (or copies, if that's ever put in) will simply fizzle.  Either player may pay the activation cost during their turn, after which Time's Passage is destroyed.  This card will reset both player's HP to whatever it was at the very start of the match, so any Stone Skins or Shards of Divinity will be negated, but all damage will also be healed. I'm also not sure that it's balanced correctly, so I welcome any help in making it so. SERIES:

Bump for pre-Crucible feedback.

Oh, wonderful. Put it in one of the best stalling elements in the game. -_-

Ah, the rainbows thar could be.

The cost needs a bit of a bump. It takes far longer to take out 100HP than it does to generate 12 time quanta. Granted, there are permanent control cards, but spares wouldn't be amiss in case of deflagration lovers.

True enough, but that's why A: there can only be one on the field at a time and B: it comes into play delayed.  Also, it's not 12 to activate, it's 12 of any flavor (to allow the opponent to use it if (s)he wants to do so.)

Then a nova could play this in one turn.

Maybe it could self-destruct after the first use? Reduce the delay a bit to compensate for the self-destruct and bump the playing cost to 7. That way, it can't be re-activated over and over again while a player makes his merry way reversing skeletons.

From the notes: "Either player may pay the activation cost during their turn, after which Time's Passage is destroyed."  I need to fiddle with the wording to fit it onto the card, but that's already there.
