Terrasque | Elite Terrasque

quicksand: The water weapon already blasts pillars.  Of course, Pulverizer didn't stop me from making a deflag Mount, but I just don't like the idea of having the earth mount destroy pillars.

Plate Armor: Give any creature +0/+6 every turn?  First, I think that earth has enough def-buff, with plate armor and bask blood, but secondly, I can't really envision a good reason for why the terrasque would buff your other creatures.  Sure, some of the other mounts don't really make logical sense either, but it just doesn't feel right to me.  It just doesn't seem as inovative as my other mounts. 

Maybe the terrasque could have:  Dig. Burrow target creature you control. 
The problem there is that there is no way to unburrow them then, but I guess it's a trade.  He'd basically be a 'quint on a stick' then, making all your creatures invicible, but half-power. 

I'm really trying to find something that really jumps out at me.  I feel that this mount has been the most challenging, and it will take a lot of work to get this one right.

And btw, the pictures will of course change before these guys make it into the game.  I'm not an artist.  The pictures I've used are just examples for proof of concept.

yes i agree i couldn't really think of something but right now earth has a monopaly on permanent control, it has PA quicksand, pulvy IDK but ill try to think of something.

Derailed...


Ok.  *Lifts, grunts, pushes*

-SLAM-

Whew.  The topic is back on track.  Let's discuss the balance issues of this card.

[Purity_Riot]

Well that was horribly rude, but understandably.

Fine, balancing. I think flavour wise, this card doesn't make much sense. What is the mount doing, summoning a layer of stone around an object?

Flavour doesn't really matter though, that being said I think a reoccurring Enchant Artifact ruins the balance of the game in the sense that it is already designed with a 6 use cap in mind.

Making it more balanced would be simple, just replace the "does not work on permanents" with "deals 2 damage to Terrasque," and raise it's health up to eight maybe.

Nerf update:

: Enshrine: Target permanent is Enshrined(untargetable) and
Terrasque loses this ability and gains  Release.

  Release: Enshrined permanent is no longer Enshrined and
Terrasque loses this ability and gains  Enshrine.

If Terrasque leaves play then Enshrined permanent is no longer Enshrined.

Please feel free to change your vote on the poll if you feel this card's balance has now changed.

Thanks for your input,

Edit: P.S. In the previous post I was just being silly, not trying to be rude.  It was as much my fault as anyone elses that the topic had been derailed.

OK i like this one better, 1 time PA is nice.

[dekskose]

well but then its underpowered i mean you can play a proteckt artifact for nearly nothing and playing that for 8+3 quanta would been bad

[verity_blues]

I must say, of all of your mount idea's, this one seems the best to be. But, maybe thats some pencil and paper D&D bais shining through on my part? 

Here's a thought, though.

The Terrasque is a creature which comes through a portal from another plane, if I'm not mistaken. I could really see an aether creature instead of earth, would explain its ability to make its rider untargetable. IMHO, I think that an aether Terrasque would be better than your current aether mount card idea.

[standizzle]

your again giving two abilities to one card.

this is NOT magic.

its elements. there ARE NO CARDS WITH DUO ABILITIES. there are no secondary cards that are treated as players.

[killsdazombies]

What about DEVOURER?? burrow and drain quanta. Get your Ideas together BEFORE you post?
