August Challenge #4 - Make Hybrid Cards! [VOTING!]

[Treldon]

Spoiler for Fireworks:

NAME: Fireworks ELEMENT: Drouth (Air-Fire) COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent TEXT: Opposing creatures have 55% chance to hit you, 10% to hit each other and 10% to hit their owner for 3 turns	NAME: Fireworks ELEMENT: Drouth (Air/Fire) COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent TEXT: Opposing creatures have 50% chance to hit you, 15% to hit each other and 15% to hit their owner for 3 turns

ART: IDEA: Treldon NOTES: Effect does not stack with Fog or Dusk shields, but comes first. So if Fireworks makes the creature miss or attack allied creatures/owner the shield has no effect. When a creature attacks its owner the owner's shield (if any) function normally. Mechanically functions like Cloak, grants effect for 3 turns after casting then disappears. I know the numbers don't add up: 55+10+10=75% that the creatures do something, 25% they completely miss with unupped 50+15+15=80% that the creatures do something, 20% they completely miss with upped SERIES: Weekly Challenge

Should someone need/want it, my version for the :drouth [ / ] background:

PS: if you have a better card background please do let me know

ART: none, lol IDEA: andretimpa NOTES: The ability triggers whenever a new butterfly appears, whether from hand or not. The ability is loboable, which is relevant for Parallel Universe. SERIES: weekly challenges

The polls are up!

Let's see which [Witty comment here] cards are the best!

[foxrain4]

voted for Curse of Decay as the card
ability really wants to make you anticipate what really
happens in game.

PlasmaKite have a ridiculously cool artwork.
or is that just a background only...

All backgrounds only.
All these challenges ask for no art, but we can make a slight, technical exception here. Because we sort of have to.

But yes it is very cool

[EmeraldTiger]

it is the BG.

Curse of Decay, Plasmakite, and to a lesser degree Butterfly Swarm are the only ones I would say actually feel like they fit in both their respective elements in meaningful ways. Of the first two I voted for Curse of Decay; despite the mechanic having never been used before in Time or Death, thematically you can clearly see the mechanic's related, and it gets major props for that. Plasmakite's Immaterial clause doesn't seem like it would be important in the vast majority of cases; it only occurs during the fourth turn, and if the opponent didn't toss CC at it during the first three turns, they probably wouldn't want to toss CC during the fourth turn anyways. It's neat that it's most useful against Aether's Lightning and Fire's Rage Potion, though.

Agar gives the hardest of hard removal to Life, and I personally have a distaste for cards with drastically variable power levels.

Water Ghoul's 'Activates when Flood is in play' felt like a too-hamfisted way to make the card have something to do with Water.

Fireworks is far too complicated. Also, while between SoFr and Fog Shield you could make an argument for chance-based effects in Air, soft damage mitigation isn't really Fire's thing.
