ART: YoYoBro IDEA: YoYoBro NOTES: The "maximum" refers to maximum per turn, not total. SERIES: None

My proposal for the mid range attacker time desperately needs. Whaddoyathink? Maybe a bit OP as it is now? (even though it would require paying attention not to make the owner run out of cards too quickly).

Does this include the automatic draw at the beginning of the turn?

[YoYoBro]

My idea is yes, so that it automatically grows of at least 1 per turn, without forcing people to include hourglasses/sundials/precogs and increasing versatility. I could tweak it as required.

[rohlfo]

does that even work then? Don't you draw a card before you can even pay the  to activate ability?

[YoYoBro]

It counts every card drawn before the activation of the effect. E.g., you draw at the beginning of your turn, then draw once more with a sundial, then activate this: the iguana gets +2/+2

ahhh, I see! Think it should cost more perhaps :s

[YoYoBro]

Or I should lower the maximum growth per turn.. I'll wait for the OldTrees or some curator's comment

OldTrees or curator should be able to give better analysis for sure!
My gut feeling says unupped should be 3 or 4. Then again, growth isn't really  so if you made it a duo that takes 1 off the cost again. having said that, given what makes it grow, I do understand your choice for using  . just some thoughts, I don't know what best option would be...

[YoYoBro]

Yup, actually this is a definitely time-ish kind of growth in my opinion..

[OldTrees]

Unupped balanced as is.

The growth ability could be more powerful than Growth but requires drawing to achieve that so it is worth about the same +2cost.

The upgraded one could use a -1casting cost. The ability and stats did not improve enough to warrant a +1 cost upon upgrade.

[YoYoBro]

Thanks a lot for the comment, will modify as suggested and add as a candidate for crucible.

[Kuroaitou]

Hm. This wording might work better...

"Gains a counter each time
you draw a card in a turn.
: Gain +1|+1 per
counter. Max of +3|+3"

Based on what I've been reading so far, this would clarify the ability more, because from what I initially saw, the card implies that you have to activate the ability -first- BEFORE drawing additional cards, at least until you explained it. But that's just a suggestion, of course.
