ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1199772 (Added to by Joseph7) IDEA: Joseph7 NOTES: I believe that the passive 'airborne' needs to be used as more of a focal point in the game, so I think this card would be a good start to furthering the usage of 'airborne'. Agility is an ability that has a 25% chance of keeping the creature from any harm (33% upgraded). Harm includes all spell attacks, consumption of the creature, fire shield injury, and any poisoning or other status effects attempts. Agility would be granted to a creature as an effect symbol (similar to the momentum and immaterial symbols) placed on the creature's image. The upped card also grants the creature a 1/3 chance of not missing against shields that cause creatures to miss (Fog, Dusk Mantle, Dissipation). Hermes' winged shoes grant him flight and agility. Similarly, they can grant a creature flight through the skies and agility to avoid attacks. SERIES:

For only  , I would suggest 15% | 20%. Yet that is only my suggestion; go get another opinion.

A card granting airborne have already been done, not sure if also the avoiding harm part was also included in that version.

Great idea!

      This could work really well for those rainbow/trio/or even duo decks that need to get past wings, and an extra use for sky blitz attack.

.....but 3 |3 sounds a little cheep for 25%|50% avoidance, what about upping it to around 5 |5 .

I feel that 5  is a lot for a spell that grants airborneness. I will post a poll asking about what the avoidance should be. Please vote!

I thinking about 5 b/c i was estimating about 3 or 4 quanta for the airborne spell itself, but then an additional 1 or 2 quanta for the agility passive ability.

     (agility's avoiding harm sounds like a partial immortal thing, so i estimated based off of seraph's 1 immortality per turn, whereas this could work several times for the initial quanta payment).  this was just my idea though, others might be able reason it differently.

The airborne passive is not worth anything near that much, 1-2 at the most.
I would suggest 20%, 40% on the dodge chance though I really don't find the current percentages imbalanced either.

In truth the card is perfectly well balanced atm considering this is like a gimped version of immortality pointed at harmful effects.

25% may be ok for the unupped version, but 50% is a bit too high I think.
On the other hand, 15% / 25% is a little on the low side, but 25% / 25% gives little reason to upgrade...
maybe 20% / 33% would be good (1/5 and 1/3 respectively)
Otherwise, this seems like a pretty cool card. Its a single target half SoFr. Which is nice since there is no other way to provide either of SoFr two main effects as of right now... (and I'm generally in favor of mitigating the currently rather heavy impact of shards on the game at present)

Yes! Brilliance! I have decided to make it 25%/33% for the card's chance to avoid damage. I will also give the upped card a slight boost in another area, so as to even it out.
