IDEA:
EvaRia
NOTES:
Disappearing is the same effect as Cloak.
AoE Spells will reveal it, and/or damage it.
Shifting means it moves to a random unoccupied creature slot on your half of the field.
Triggers multiple times with adrenaline.
SERIES:

Designed to fill in Air's mid-range attacker niche.
Can totally psyche you out when combined with adrenaline.
Is it there? Where is it? Who knows? :P

Can't quite imagine this bird being on par with the attack of an Elite Wyrm but it has a very interesting mechanic of fluttering away. I like it a lot but would rather it kept it's attack at 3 and had a drop in playing cost.

Aside, I'd imagine it has a 50% chance of disappearing and a 50% chance of shifting right?

Correct, chances are 50/50.

I do want to keep the attack of at least the upgraded version at a semi high level, since air right now doesn't really have a card that fills in the role of cheap mid-range attacker.

Theme-wise it may seem a bit too strong for a bird, but I don't see that as a huge problem compared to mechanics.

It could be done by an African swallow...but then of course African swallows are non-migratory...

Looking through my old card ideas, looking to see what I can submit/expand on.

I still really like this card. The mechanic is quite fun IMO.

Maybe keep the upped stats at 3/2 and then decrease cost to 1 :air?

It would give it an interesting niche to work with.

I'm interested in resubmitting this either way, so bump for feedback?
