Posting to keep track, you already know my thoughts on this, and I have no new ones at the moment.

[MaTianLong]

I like it... but it is a creature??? if so.. plate armor,blessing,chaos power.. ecc ecc... and BOOOOM!!!!

and that can be kinda OP.. potentially so much stronger than rain of fire

[Drake_XIV]

Mm... Basilisk Blood.

Also, in order to be parallel to in-game cards...

: Erupt (Sacrifice Card)
All creatures take damage equal to this card's health.

That should work as an alternative wording.

Could be a little to powerful in conjunction with voodoo dolls + BB.
Wipe field AND massive damage to opponent. Combo is fairly easily powered by mark pend and immolate.

I do love the concept ... but then, who doesn't love VOLCANOES! ... unless maybe you live in Pompei

Possibly, but keep in mind that killing a Voodoo Doll with lethal damage means the damage won't be redirected (a BB'd Volcano will always deal lethal damage to a normal Doll). It's a clever build-around strategy though if you can somehow get around Basilisk Blood's 6-turn delay on a Volcano.

Sounds good.
Updated card with wording to match ingame cards.

You'd also have BB for Voodoo.  Also, Adren would quicken it, but Quads...

True; the combo becomes Voodoo Doll + Basilisk Blood + Volcano + Basilisk Blood + More Dolls/BB [+ Adrenaline (?)] vs. Voodoo Doll + Basilisk Blood + Gravity Pull + Twin Universe.

It seems like a matter of whether you want to a) Deal more damage vs. b) Protect yourself from creatures.

[OdinVanguard]

Another issue to consider is SoP... That could lead to some very nasty volcanoes after a while.

I will give it this, it will make life interesting. Voodoo bows could become very ugly indeed.

Quint won't protect Volcano?
1. Quinted creatures can't be RoF'd. So it shouldn't be Volcano'd either.
2. Just like UG, you should be able to quint it, but it will be destroyed anyway when used.

I like this card, but it feels strange to see a Volcano attack.
I think you could give it a passive ability that prevent it to attack, and deal damage equal to its ATK rather than its HP. Then you can raise its HP, to make it more resistant to CC.

Something like this:

Volcano
1|5

: Erupt (Sacrifice Card)
All creatures take damage equal to this card's attack.
Passive: Static (this creature does not attack)

I meant to say that Quinting a Volcano would not stop the sacrifice effect, in case some one misunderstood the card.
Reworded notes accordingly.

I think that skews the card's design a bit too much towards theme - since when can a stuffy doll be bigger than dragons and magically attack opponents as well?

Combining two mechanics together to result in Erupt seems unecessarily complex when it can be done with just one mechanic.
