It also doesn't even make sense. Since when can you turn undead creatures back to life by using a simple spell? Have you ever seen a horror/fantasy movie where that was possible?

Since 1.27

Actually you could already do that with the mummy.

Yes. I have seen Time magic used to unbirth the living, rejuvenate the old and restore the undead to life. (True it was not in a movie but it was in a more credible source. D&D.)

I dunno, I'm looking forward to it. I've never really used Death heavily against AI3 or AI4 or AI5 because it gets stomped and I can foresee this as a good addition to Duo, Trio, and Rainbow decks.  8)

My only gripe would be that Fate Egg still costs 4 quanta, making the skeleton a better Fate Egg in some ways since it can at least attack on the turn before.

Adding 2 types of quanta can be compared to mono quanta by increasing the duo total by 1

Skeleton + Reverse Time (Cheapest version would be Eternity) vs Fate Egg
Cost Comparison

Cost Type	Fate Egg	Skeleton Eternity	Skeleton Reverse Time
Quanta Casting Cost	3	1|2	1|2
Quanta Activation Cost	1	3	3|1
Turn Cost	1	0	0
Draw Cost	1	1.1667	2
Deck Slot Cost	1	1.1667	2
Estimated Equivalent	7	7.33|8.33	9|8

Fate Egg is still supreme although it is close between unupped Fate Egg and unupped Skeleton + Eternity

The best thing this has going for it against fate egg is that it works better with boneyard. Of course, you could then say that you can use fractal to get more fate eggs, however, that puts it right back into a duo, getting rid of one of the main advantages of fate egg (imho)

edit:also1+3+1.1663+1.1663= 6.33
   and 2+3+1.1663+1.1663=7.33
thus being mono and not prone to bad draws is the only advantage of fate egg.

lol you should have started with that

[HeartNotes]

Well, I am looking forward to the Skeleton / Fate Egg combo decks...

[DrOctaganapus2]

I would like to see something like a "Skull King" who either

-Generates 1 skeleton each turn (like Pharoh or FireFly Queen)
-Increase every skeletons attack by 2 when it is summoned. (it may be OP, but I am brainstorming,feel free to edit)
-Have a stat like X/7, X being how many Skeletons you have out.

But Skeleton is a very versetile card, but are those "Never Upgrade These" cards

I'd say the second one would only be OP if the effect stacks when there's more than 1 SK in play or if it stacks with eclipse.  The last one MIGHT be OP with fractal but probably not too bad even then.  In any case, submit it as a card idea and add a poll for which option would be best.

[collimatrix]

Why not give it only a 50% chance of working?  Perhaps a "foot soldier" 2/2 colorless creature could be added, and give it a 50% chance of turning into that.

Something similar to the mutation mechanic.
