the mummy should be more useful on its own. It would be a lot more diverse, if it had some kind of ability or skill. As it is, it is pretty pathetic, dies to any bolt or Snipe, a small drain life, and eaten by anything other than a newborn otygh.

He should have a curse, or rot or something. I do get that he gets bigger from eclipse. but really, it would be good it he had a pure death ability. I guess darkness could work. maybe he gets Plague as a use ability instead of a sacrifice ability.

Maybe  :death :death :death Plague ?

that way, he can be use in a MonoDeath, and still be pretty powerful, and the Pharoah thing would be secondary to that deck, likely only to occur vs an AI5, or FG.

The thumbnail version of the image (like its showed in the battlefield) shows its legs. Im presenting a petition to change that.

That would be pretty darn powerful for a common card you can obtain from the Bazaar.  ;) I think it works fine as is; it's really good. Pretty much an annoyance to people who use Rewinds or Eternities, while having decent stats nigh short of one attack compared to the new Flesh Recluse? Pretty versatile. Besides, Mono-death has the almighty Aflatoxin to fill creature spaces.

^ Nothing about this? I think the master could talk about this to zanz, its annoying looking at the mummy knees.

As I recall, the cropping is part of a code which automatically centers the card art, creating some awkward looking crops.  Mummy is most certainly not the only card with a bad crop, and Zanz is already fully aware of the problem.

I have no idea if he plans on altering this in the future; either way, I think there are much more important things for him to worry about, right now.  (:

actually the mummy is kinda overpowered compare it to the flesh spider which for 3 is a 5/3
when this card is upgraded it is the same as the flesh recluse but with immunity to reverse time (well AIs never reverse it, and if it does get reversed you have the pharoh)

and even then when its normal it costs 1 more than the flesh recluse but still has reverse time immunity, and reverse time is the strongest creature control (on par with an oty) since it slows down the opponents deck, removes debuffs, and forces them to play the card again. The only thing reverse time cannot do is mass creature control and taking care of immortals

so I think the cost on this card should be increased by 1 for both cards or something else, what do you guys think?

Its cheaper/does more damage.  I see no reason to use Mummy; RT protection is not nearly as great as you think it is and if you get a Mummy in your hand what are you going to do with it?

but still upgraded mummy/ upgraded flesh recluse have the same stats except mummy gets RT immunity, what if there was a change to flesh recluse because otherwise people would choose elite mummy over flesh recluse

edit heres picture proof

except Mummy does not have reverse time immunity.

If it is reversed it becomes a Pharaoh which has less attack than the recluse or the Mummy.

And if this is a death deck you wont have time or gravity to make use of the pharaoh.
