The duo + timer makes it a very soft PC. Removing one of the too said smoother would not make it too strong IMO.

I like the seedling idea it is very original. Parasiting the permanent field is new as far as I know. Good work.

Btw, why do you name it "Usang"?
In my country's language, the word "usang" means "has been unused for the long time so it has a bad condition now.".   :P
My idealized elements cycle:
Water -> Fire -> Air -> Earth -> Lightning -> Metal -> Light -> Darkness -> Wood -> Water

I'm curious whether the creator of this this card considered possible synergies between the  this card and  :death cards such as bone walls / condors / soul catchers?

NOTE: I'm not calling OP or UP, just suggesting someone look into this to make sure it's a strategy that gets considered when deciding cost/effect of this card

EDIT: Changed Seedling's wording to avoid death trigger confusion XP

Hahaha, well, yes I did understand that the connotation behind its name could cause issues. In Filipino, "Usa" means deer, but it looks weird to have a creature which seemed to have been named after a country. So, I added "Ng," an equivalent to "the," in front of "Usa." "Ngusa" looked a little weird to me, so I switched up the letters and got "Usang" which, after Google translating it, said it meant "obsolete" which was funny to me as the opponent's permanent slots would be "obsolete."

Though, does it seem too weird? I find it not Element-esqe enough, any suggestions?

As for the timer, I'm not too sure how removing would affect it? In that, some form of CC is in almost all the elements, but PC is limited to few elements.

I like it. It certainly can give more use between  :life :earth.

As the only synergies I see are:

Antilion/ Graboid / Shriker / Forest Scorpion / Cockatrice / Frog - Rush
Heal/ Stone Skin  / Staff - Stall
Usang/EarthQuake - Pernament Control

Mitosis + Feral Bond + Stone Skin is another new one! (:

On that note, just sent Usang in for Crucible candidacy.
