Beast (creature series) feedback wanted https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=24664.msg314282#msg314282

Something I randomly came up with, probably needs a lot of tweaking.  I have not come up with casting costs or attempted much balancing yet.  They were loosely designed around a cost of 6 to 8 quanta, and I have not delved into differentiating between unupgraded and upgraded costs/atk/hp/ability strength.  Any constructive input would be appreciated.

Entropic Beast      - 5|4 - Each turn, gains random ability with cost of 2 :entropy and random passive ability.
Undead Beast      - 5|3 - Each turn, generates a Virus (60%) or Vulture (40%) if a creature died this turn.
Gravitic Beast      - 3|6 - Each turn, a random creature you control gains +1|+2.
Earthen Beast      - 4|5 - Each turn, you gain 2 max HP.
Empathic Beast   - 3|3 - Each turn, gains +1|+1.
Flaming Beast      - 6|2 - Each turn, deals its ATK to a random enemy creature.
Aqueous Beast      - 5|5 - Each turn, freezes a random non-quantum producing enemy permanent for 2 turns.
Glowing Beast      - 0|5 - Each turn, its ATK becomes your HP/10, rounded down. Airborne.
Floating Beast      - 4|4 - Each turn, double the ATK of random airborne creature you control. Airborne.
Ageless Beast      - 2|4 - Each turn, your permanents' effects happen twice.
Shadow Beast      - 6|5 - Each turn, opponent shuffles a random card in hand into deck, then draws a card for each one shuffled.
Ethereal Beast      - 3|3 - Each turn, a copy of a creature you control is put into your hand.

Updated names from Avatar to Beast because of existing series.

Ah, I should have done a search.  However, my creatures are completely different in design.  I guess they could use a different set of names?

Avatar of Entropy   - 5|4 - Each turn, gains random ability with cost of 2 :entropy and random passive ability.
Avatar of Death   - 5|3 - Each turn, generates a Virus (40%), Deathstalker (30%), or Vulture (20%).
Avatar of Gravity   - 4|6 - Each turn, a random creature you control gains +1|+2.
Avatar of Earth      - 4|5 - Each turn, you gain 2 max HP.
Avatar of Life      - 6|6 - Each turn, gains +1|+1.
Avatar of Fire      - 6|2 - Each turn, deals its ATK to a random enemy creature.
Avatar of Water   - 5|5 - Each turn, freezes a random non-quantum producing enemy permanent for 2 turns.
Avatar of Light      - 0|5 - Each turn, its ATK becomes your HP/10, rounded down. Airborne.
Avatar of Air      - 6|7 - Each turn, generates an Air Pendulum. Airborne.
Avatar of Time      - 1|4 - Each turn, your turn ends twice (can't stack).
Avatar of Darkness   - 5|5 - Each turn, opponent shuffles a random card in hand into deck, then draws a card for each one shuffled.
Avatar of Aether   - 3|3 - Each turn, a copy of a creature you control is put into your hand.
:entropy I personally do not like the feel of these cards but some people do. Probably a 1-3 quanta value.
 :death Life is more the element of generating creatures.
 :gravity Free weakened Growth? But spread around? 2-3 quanta value?
 :earth I like this idea. It is a small-medium benefit probably worth 2-3 quanta. (Total cost around 6.5)
 :life Probably should have a smaller body. 2|2? Might have problems with Forest Spirit since it is a free half powered growth.
 :fire Fitting.
 :water Hard to judge. Would this block passive permanent abilities? (DR for Shields IIRC)
 :light Strange. Light/Earth Duo Stall for 50 atk creatures?
 :air Huh? Why would Air generate pendulums? The theme seems to not exist. Please explain/justify thematic link.
 :time Double quanta production? Faster countdowns? (eventually this would be beneficial) Double SoG, Bond, Weapon. Do your creatures also attack twice? Where does this stop? [Probably too powerful for an Avatar ability]
 :darkness Probably worth 0-1 quanta
 :aether Makes sense. 2-4 quanta ability or so

Thanks, made some tweaks and changed the name.  Also changed the Air ability, I figured it would have been like Dragonfly's ability, but Fire and Earth have those types of creatures as well.
