ART: Modified from : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coast_Impact.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fire02.jpg IDEA: waterzx NOTES: Based on critical hit concept of Shard of Freedom, and balanced by comparison with it. 1. Same cost with Shard of Freedom 2. SoF affects all airborne creatures but Smash only affects one. 3. SoF has 25% chance of activation but Smash has 40% chance 4. SoF boosts attack by 150% but Smash boosts it by 200% 5. SoF grants ability to bypass shield but Smash grants ability to destroy shield, repeatedly. 6. SoF will not cause failure of creatures' attack but Smash has 60% chance to cause creature unable to deal damage. 7. SoF is stackable but Smash inflicts status effects on creature so it is not stackable. SERIES:

This idea is nice I support this card. Haha, combination of explosion + skyblissx2 ???
But if this card's introduced..... would lose its claim on having the one and only special + lethal weapon - explosion

Suddenly, miss.

Will the creature be affected by shield when it attacks?

Nope, otherwise it would be UP

Edit : The more I think about it, the more I believe this card is UP. I might increase the chance of activation to 50%, and lower the cost to 4 | 2. Thoughts ?

I tend to think of the double damage bump as belonging to the element (dive, skyblitz)... But I do love the shieldsmasher idea though. Very gravitesque...
Will it allow smashing of immaterial shields?

What do you think about: "Target creature deals +1 damage per hp and is able to shatter opponent's shield, but now has a 60% miss chance" or you could do +1 damage per N hp instead (where N can be adjusted to help balance it)
(I had to change the wording for the accuracy loss to make it fit)
This gives it more of a gravity feel, giving extra damage based on the mass (hp) of the creature. That fits the theme a bit better than a raw attack power double, which seems to be the purview of

You're saying base damage off "weight"? That seems very fitting here.

"Target creature gains momentum and destroys shields on contact but has a 50% miss chance.
It deals extra damage based on its weight (HP's)."

This clarifies the effect (none) that shields have on the creature aswell but leaves the damage boost a little vague.
Interestingly, the momentum would be kept after liquid shadow and the like, even though the rest isn't.

Thanks for the inputs. I will start thinking about the damage-based-on-HP thing.

Pulvy.

seems like some combination of http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,24945.0.html and http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php

seems like some combination of http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,24945.0.html and http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php

So it's like a card/forum combo. That's cool.

I like it, watching.

Interesting for sure.  Quite powerful, but does this override PA'd/Reflective Shields?
