new rare cards

[shileka]

i find it a bit unfair that only light, time and water have an aditional rare card, i think some more rare cards are in order

for gravity i have a fun little idea, a creature that can make itself heavier each turn (making a good combo with gravity pull and acceleration

more ideas anyone?

Something important about making a rare card for ETG is that it has to be viable if only one copy is in the deck. (This is why most of the weapons make good rares, since you can easily put them in any deck for a source of damage. For the nonrares : Miracle can function as an expensive reversal spell that shouldn't take up too much deck space, Squid can make a better longterm Freeze, and Pharoah has Scarabs at common to support him in addition to being a swarm engine like FFQ.)

What kind of non - card would be powerful, but usable as a single copy in its element?

An OTK combo

Assuming we use the pre-existing rares as precedent.  That being said, the cards must be:

Arcane Spell [Drains all of the quanta of its type]
Spell Stick [Uses pre-existing spell as ability]
Spawner [Spawns more cards]

However, these are also found in a common forme [e.g. Fractal, Anubis, Firefly Queen], so the abilities must be exceptional in worth [e.g. mass healing, freeze, swarm].

Something important about making a rare card for ETG is that it has to be viable if only one copy is in the deck, and still be viable with several copies.
