NAME: Tempus Fugit ELEMENT: Time COST: 1  TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Up to three creatures target player controls are stuck in a time bubble for 3 turns. That player draws 2 cards.

ART: YoYoBro IDEA: YoYoBro NOTES: UP to 3 creatures, can be cast if target player (who can be yourself) controls less than three. The creatures are selected randomly, or the effect would be too powerful. SERIES: None

Really versatile and cheap card, can be splashed here and there and its power range variates from pitiful (vs an army of skeletons) to godlike (against a dragon, a flying titan and a Zanzarino, who can't be delayed anyway, so nevermind). Criticism is appreciated, as always.

hmm a draw card with a set back or a cc with a setback, i like it, good card, fits time, and overall, i like it

[YoYoBro]

Thanks for the feedback on this card too. Trying to make simple and versatile cards, which aren't too hard to code but not even too plain and uninteresting.

I think it's rather cheap for the effect it does. Precog draws a card and shows the opponents hand. This card could arguably be better, and thus, should be a bit higher in cost. 3 time is what I'd opt for.

[YoYoBro]

Remember that if you draw a card, 3 of your creatures get instabubbled. If you use it as CC, your opponent gets to draw. Hence the low cost. The same player who gets the advantage, gets the setback.

[Kamietsu]

Ah, I see. My bad. Never mind then

[YoYoBro]

No problem mate. Thanks for the feedback anyway

The self inflicted version is massively suboptimal.
Also aggressively it acts as almost 3 freezes.

I would recommend delay 3 for 2|3 turns and draw 2.

[YoYoBro]

It would be too powerful when used to speed up decks with few to no creatures. Or even deck with creatures, that have few in the beginning. And freeze/congeal lasts more, plus it doesn't let you draw. Also, remember the creatures are selected randomly. Many cards are meant to be used offensively or are versatile, thus less powerful than dedicated ones (e.g. in this case precog) when used defensively. For example, fire lance and ice bolt.

AoE CC... huh....  I understand where this card is coming from, and draw 2 doesn't seem like the right buff - then you could just play Photon and delay it to draw 2 for 1 quanta, or if I interpret the card correctly, you don't need any creatures at all.  I feel the card is balanced, yes it is 3 freezes, but they are 3 random freezes, so it won't shut down the majority of decks without a bit of luck.

[YoYoBro]

Actually, you did interpred correctly, you don't need creatures to play it and yes, precise CC would've just been OP for such a cheap card.

maybe it was just me, but I had to read it a few times to understand :s
not sure if there's a better way of wording it, (or any need to, maybe I'm just too stupid!) Only option I thought of which I dunno if helps/makes any difference was:
Up to 3 creatures controlled by target player are stuck in a time bubble for 2 turns. That player draws 1 card.

Otherwise it's a nice idea, although I feel it should perhaps cost a little more, but I'm no expert on these things, just going with feel....or if you time bubble for 1|2 turns perhaps, dunno, just throwing ideas out there!
