Check out the edits above.

I tried to move some of the text onto the Stalagmonster card. There really isn't enough space to convey all this information but splitting it across both cards how it is now is the best I could do. Makes enough sense to me. What do you all think?

i think they would only gain stronger it sonly my opinnion but this card is a little bit up since yo can kill a creature with  5 life for  15 water quanta and make a creature of the opponent wich wasd 1/5 in to a 5/10

Nice to see you've accepted the changes that the community (well, primarily me, but still) have suggested. +karma.

I like the way you have split the card text between the two cards.

But what if you used this card to try and kill a stalactite? XD
The Stalactite is a permanent, and it's ability only targets creatures.



I like it a lot. Earth needs some creature control, so does Water. They both need a medium-mid hitter or a grower. This card gives them both.

So, what would you put in your deck as a target for Stalactite?  Photons? Sparks? Gnome riders? Chrysaora?

I'd say Gnome Riders probably, because outside of getting your first PA'd Stalactite out you don't need much  :earth in a deck based around this.  Probably a few Photons/BL as well, just to maximize your number of creatures and the benefit of using Drip.  A ton of water towers with an earth mark, maybe some Earthquake or Trident to make use of  :earth that you don't need after Stalactite is out.  Protecting a Diamond Shield would just be mean as well, giving you more time to grow.

You could always just put upgraded stalagmonsters in your deck... Right?

Though I think a gnome rider might be nice to generate a little earth before you Drip it. Photons would make a nice rush deck though.

Would this work in a rainbow deck? It seems like it wouldn't be worth it because of the high :water demand.

This card is certainly fun, but the only thing I'm worried about is the '+1/+1' aspect to all Stalagmonsters on the field (including the enemies). Do the creatures gain +1/+1 every time you use Drip? (seeing that it can be used multiple times per turn...) I can start to see a whole bunch of 'denial' :water/ :earth duo decks now, considering how deadly Quicksand, Poseidon, Flooding, and this card can be.

Cute art also. ;) In order to fit the description on the card, perhaps you should write it like this:

 :water :water :water Drip:
Damages target creature for 1 HP.
If killed, target creature becomes
Stalagmonster and gains +1|+1 per drip.

Of course, the 'usable multiple times per turn' aspect is probably one of the most important things to include on there, so...

So do people think we should nerf the multiple times per turn? Even if it wasn't multiple times per turn you could still have three stalactites out be getting +3/+3 per turn. It does seem like unlimited would be kind of unfair on the growth aspect of it. You could play a couple stalagmonsters and then drip 5 times for 10 :water and before the next player's turn you have two 6|10 creatures... That is like paying 5  :water for a dragon level creature.

I am leaning towards nerfing the multiple times per turn, but want to hear what people think...

Cute art also. ;)
Thanks! I made the art myself and spent a long time on it. I thought it looked like junk but wanted to get the cards up quick because I liked the idea... Glad people actually like it!

The art for the monster looks exactly like a shark that has been edited to me. I do like sharks, though..

Stalag-sharks...  ;D

As for the card abilities, I'm not sure if I like it. But, the fact that you can use it multiple times and clog up your opponent's slots while have a sufficient shield within the same element to block that damage sounds good. I would also like more  :water :earth synergies. So, I guess I do like it after all.  :)

Can the monsters be Stalag-sharks?  :))
