ART: Art from Elements the Game IDEA: Xenocidius NOTES: Burrowed means that it enters burrowed like Graboid. It has the burrowed visual effect on it and cannot be targeted. When its ability is activated it turns into a flying Sword. If flown the creature is also burrowed. This is a weapon of which it is good to have multiple. Based on the sword in the stone in the legend of King Arthur. SERIES:

So, 2 quanta denotes 2 quanta, and a 1 turn delay, at the tradeoff of 1 card instead of two?

Who knows?

I prefer 'play a random weapon' over this, though. Sounds more treasury if you don't know what you'll get! (cost raise though)

A burrowed weapon is an interesting idea. Why is attack 10 when flying? Does turning it into a flying short/long sword mean to treat it as a a short/long sword that had flying/animate weapon cast on it?

3 | 10 means 3 ATK, 10 HP. Yes, it does act like a sword that had Flying Weapon cast on it.

OF course - I don't know why that threw me off.
My one reservation about this card is that flying swords (esp. flying short sword) isn't that great. I know the card is cheap, so there is balance there. My gut reaction is that making the card and/or the activation ability slightly more expensive and adding an ability would improve the keep the card balanced and make it more desirable...maybe immortal or momentum, either could fit the theme IMO. But I am still learning the intricacies of the game, so maybe I am way off base.

It's definitely thematic, and I like the burrowed weapon, but besides that, I feel it's underpowered. Even when flying. Actually, wait a second - So this doesn't have short | Long sword's flying stats? Or if not, how can you have a Burrowed Flying weapon? A giant boulder in the air with a sword in it? Maybe give it some kind of mark boost?

[Anarook]

essentially it's a gimped divine glory?

Wait, both versions deal 3 damage? Wha-? You know, I thought smacking someone with a giant boulder attached onto a sword would be much more effective. Also, when you fly it it's still burrowed. Wha-? Is the sword flying underwater towards the enemy or something? This weapon seems a bit similar to flying glories.

What if it runs into a Glory when flown?
