Time Vulture | Time Condor

[TheManuz]

Ok, first, +Rep for the XKCD reference.

Unfortuantely, while I love the idea, the cost is off.  Compare Vulture | Condor, which is the same creature minus the attack ability AND with lower stats.  This needs +1 cost for the higher stats and another +1 cost for the special ability...or maybe just +1 cost for both, but either way it can't cost the same as Vulture | Condor.

You're right, it's this way because in the first version it will get +1 | +1 ONLY if it kills the delayed/frozen creature, not for every death.
So that was a disadvantage versus the traditional Vulture, which compensate for the added attack.

When i modified it, i forgot to balance the casting cost!

Do you think is best to give the +1 | +1 only for the creature it kills, or leave the creature as it is and adding 1 or 2 to the casting cost?

I enjoy the first concept of it only getting bonuses from creatures it kills, personally.

But the first concept was "When a creature is delayed, Time Vulture attacks it. If the creatures dies this way, Time Vulture gets +1 | +1".
The old one can attack multiple creatures, and that caused a problem with Procrastination | Turtle Shield. In the long run it will kill every opponent creature with a single hit, making him growing really big!

So the possibilities for the killing are:

When a creature is delayed, Time Vulture attacks it.

0: Time Vulture attacks target delayed or frozen creature.

And for the growing are:

If the creatures dies this way, Time Vulture gets +1 | +1

Old one was A1, new one is B2. Maybe B1 is more balanced.
What do you propose?

Yes, I know, I made the post about procrastination earlier. What I'm saying is that It should attack target delayed creature once per turn as an ability, and if that creature dies, The vulture gets +1/+1.

B1, in your terms.

I forgot it was you about the procrastination!   
Thanks for pointing out and for giving suggestions about balancing!
I will change the Time Vulture when i got some spare time!

EDIT: Changed!  Hope it's more balanced now! Thanks again for your suggestions!

While it would be a good idea to make it attack any creature that doesn't attack, how would that work?  Let's say you have a Diamond Shield and your opponent has a Photon (1|1).  I assume that the Time Vulture would then attack the Photon because it is unable to attack.  On your opponent's turn, they use blessing on the Photon and it is now 4|4 and deals one damage.  (It attacks now.)  Does a ripple in the space-time continuum then open and swallow you and your computer, or does a raptor bite into your skull and kill you?  That's where I am confused.
Also, to stay true to the comic (I love XKCD), it should really only affect delayed creatures.  Although, from its point of view, everything is delayed.  Here come those raptors...

If it attacked only non-attacking creatures, the Time Vulture will attack the 1|1 Photon, but not the 4|4 Photon, because when it grew, he started "moving".
But that's not how the Time Vulture works, so don't be confused!

I know, the first version attacked only delayed creatures, but i feel it was limiting (worked only with Procrastination, Stone Skin and Iridium Warden). Also, if you think about hybernating it's all about stopping vital signs with very very low temperatures, so it's fitting.
