Especially combined with a card like Pandemonium or Firestorm it can indeed be deadly. I'm not sure whether it's balanced, but the idea is very solid.

Somebody call Zanz to his cellphone (?) and tell him to put this card in 1.3

You may can target any player's creatures, so you can tarter, for example, an antimattered stuff of your side at the price of hurting any other creature you have.

isn't this card deal dmg to only 1 creature until it die and deal the same dmg to it owner?

why the picture deal dmg to random enemy creature and do nothing to your opponent?

Arc Lightning deals 1 damage to target enemy creature and then continues dealing 1 damage to a random enemy creature until a creature dies.

you could limit the number of jumps (10 jumps would do i think...10 damage per 8 :aether seems fair) so it doesn't always kill a creature everytime its played and at the same time when a creature is hit by this spell, there would be a chance where that creature would lose its skill, like being lobotomised

Why would the number of jumps need to be limited beyond the current limitation? It kills 1 creature but the first creature might have been a Ray of Light.

Lobotomy is unnecessary and would require an undesirable cost increase.

the idea of having a spell that will guarantee a creature kill in any situation seems overpowered imo except against hordes of creatures, but for that   :aether already has dim shield...

by limitating the jumps, it wont take creatures like a flown titan

it wouldnt have to be 10 jumps, it can be any other number of jumps and i thought the lobotomising effect would balance the card and it would belong more to the  :aether theme

1)
Lightning deals 5 damage for a mere 2 :aether|1 :aether + 1 card. That kills most creatures.
Basilisk Blood renders a creature nigh useless for 6 turns for 2 :earth|1 :earth + 1 card. Games tend to be short.
Reverse Time removes the creature and returns it to the deck for 2 :time|1 :time. Destroys Animated weapons.
Arc Lightning costs 8 :aether|7 :aether + 1 card which is according to my balance theory about 3x as expensive.

2)
Aether has a remarkable Lightning theme. It does not need Lobotomy to feel more Aetheric.

as for lightining, its true that it kills most, but the potencial damage done by this card can be much bigger than 5 but i understand your point

as for BB, i dont see it being used in other decks than OTK and stall very often and it is a different form of CC(actually a good card to combine with arc lightning now that i think about it :P)

reverse time is a bit OP imo so i cant say nothing about that lol

i didnt say the card lacked an aetheric theme but adding that lobotomizing effect would be a good way to balance the card given a certain number of jumps

Would shields have any effect on this?

ex. the opponent has a flown titan and a mirror shield
     you use arc lightning
     what happens?

because it doesnt target players, mirror shield and emerald shield would do nothing
your titan would die

 

anything
