Challenge 5-1: Thunderstorm Round!

[Espithel]

CURATOR COMMENT
Due to Mysterious Magic, the Curators didn't update the challenges on Monday. As a result, this challenge is 24 hours late.
I'm going to give you all an extra day to submit, and the next challenge'll start approximately on the midnight of sunday-monday GMT, as per usual.

Also, yes, the Halloween special was its own thing, to my knowledge, reading these notes correctly. I'm sure Zephyr/AD'll correct me if I'm wrong.

Just remember, kids! Every spell that deals major damage to many a thing is terrible!

Welcome to the Weekly Card Design Challenge! Each week, the Curators will host a card design challenge with a certain theme or gimmick; for the rest of the week, your goal is to design the best card you can that works with the challenge! Once that week is up, a new weekly challenge will start and the current challenge will go into the Voting Phase! The winners of each poll will be awarded points; your current score can be found on the Monthly Leaderboard!

Each month, the top 1-3 players on the Monthly Leaderboard will get a cool award icon, depending on the number of people that participated.

Spoiler for Score Table:

Amount of people	Points given/scored
3	1 point for first.
4-6	2 points for first, 1 point for second.
7-8	3 points for first, 2 second, 1 third. 7 gives 2 votes.
9-11	4 points for first, 3 second, 2 third, 1 fourth.

BONUS: Being the final challenge of a month, ChotM's give two more points to anyone who would get points!

This week's challenge is to Make creature control that affects multiple creatures!

Spoiler for Specific Rules:

Creature Control is used to hinder a creature. Think of freeze, lightning, reverse time, and mutate.
Mass CC is such a card which does it to multiple creatures - think of pandemonium, thunderstorm, etc.
Shields, such as dims, or similar permanents, such as sundial, generally don't count as CC, yet alone mass CC. Keep that in mind.

The card has to affect two or more creatures in a negative way.
What counts as negative is up for discussion.

The card can be a spell, creature, or permanent.

Don't put art in your card. Don't submit more than one card. Submit the upgraded and unupgraded.
Submit your ideas in this thread - whether you make a separate thread for your card idea for Cygnia is up to you.

We are in the Voting Phase! There are Temporal Disasters. Good luck!

SUBMISSIONS:

Spoiler for 1. Lethal Thorns (Linkcat):

NAME: Lethal Thorns ELEMENT: Life COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Attacking creatures have an additional 75% chance to be infected if you have a Thorn Carapace.	NAME: Lethal Spines ELEMENT: Life COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Attacking creatures have an additional 75% chance to be infected if you have a Spine Carapace.

ART: IDEA: Linkcat NOTES: All poison stacks. SERIES:

Spoiler for 2. Saprophyte (entropystarrover):

Spoiler for 3. Bladestorm Skirmisher | Bladestorm Dervish (OdinVanguard):

NAME: Bladestorm Skirmisher ELEMENT: Air COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 4 | 4 TEXT: On owner weapon strike/use: Bladestorm - Deal 4 damage split among up to 4 randomly chosen enemy targets.	NAME: Bladestorm Dervish ELEMENT: Air COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 7 | 2 TEXT: On owner weapon strike/use: Bladestorm - Deal 4 damage split among up to 4 randomly chosen enemy targets.

ART: IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: "Inspiration will come to you today, but don't hold your breathe!" "Dance like a Firefly sting like a Wyrm!" This creature's ability activates each time a weapon on the same side strikes a target (attacks and does not miss) or has its ability activated by its owner (e.g. owl's eye, pulverizer, etc). Flown weapons and equipped weapons may trigger this effect. Endowed crusaders do not. Each creature with "on owner weapon strike" will activate at the same time. The ability always does a total of 4 damage. Each point of damage is assigned to a randomly chosen target on the opposing side. This may include the opposing player. The effect is considered "spell damage" so reflective shields can counter it. SERIES:

Spoiler for 4. Thunder Staff (Discord):

CURATOR COMMENT
I'm Skeptical this card meets the conditions.
I'll add it in with this warning.

Spoiler for 5. Hailstorm (Treldon):

NAME: Hailstorm ELEMENT: Procellae [Air-Water] COST: 3 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Opponents creatures are stalled for 1 turn, those with HP >=4 receive 2 damage	NAME: Hailstorm ELEMENT: Procellae [Air-Water] COST: 2 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Opponents creatures are stalled for 1 turn, those with HP >=4 receive 2 damage

ART: - IDEA: Treldon NOTES: Theme: Smaller creatures have an easier time dodging the hail so they are not damaged, but the dodging prevents them from attacking. HP >=4 means HP of 4 or larger. SERIES: Weekly Challenge - CIA

Spoiler for 6. Loan Shark (Clean0nion):

NAME: Loan Shark ELEMENT: Water COST: 2 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Pay twice as much HP for cards instead of quanta. 8 : Pay debt	NAME: Corrupt Shark ELEMENT: Water COST: 0 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Pay twice as much HP for cards instead of quanta. 15 : Pay debt

ART: IDEA: Clean0nion NOTES: This one's not as complicated as it sounds. When you play a card, you pay quanta from your pools. With Loan Shark, however, this isn't so. Instead of paying the cost of a card in quanta, you pay twice that amount from the HP of your creatures, divided as equally as possible amongst them. For example, say you wish to play a Lava Golem (5 ). But you only have 2 . Get a Loan Shark! What an intelligent solution! Now, you can pay the cost of the LG by paying 10HP across all of your other creatures. You have five Phoenixes and an Ash. So, take 1HP from all of them, for equality. Now you have six Ash, one of which has 4HP. You still need to pay 4HP, so take 1HP from four of them, randomly picked. Then you can place your Lava Golem! There, wasn't that easy? If you can't pay the cost (no creatures), Loan Shark takes any remaining quanta and goes away (and cancels whatever card you were trying to play, ie you lose that card). You can pay off your debt to Loan Shark, but it costs a lot of . The upgraded version is easier to get, but costs more to pay off. Paying the debt removes Loan Shark from the field.  Debating whether or not to make this immaterial SERIES: WCH 5-1

Spoiler for 7. Drag Force (Andretimpa):

NAME: Drag force ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 4 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: The attack of all creatures is halved	NAME: Drag force ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 7 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: The attack of all opponent's creatures is halved

This should give a little more utility with its flying / animate weapon cards.

Pretty sure someone's already done a card with this name but the mechanics are probably different

The polls are up. Woo.

You know, I really hate these posts that I have to make just because it's so awkward like "The polls are up." is just so boring and lame and I have to add a stupid comment underneath it but it's so hard to make because it just feels even more cheesy and awkward I mean seriously this little rant that I'm doing right here is far more natural and makes sense given the context but shiva damn it people will get angry if I keep on doing his for every single challenge so this'll probably be the last time but ffs I mean just LOOK AT HOW MESSY THIS IS and yet people keep on expecting me to make silly comments when the polls are up because it's etticquate but I've already ran out of ideas on what to say stop oppressing me I just want to go home and see my family again after this I mean seriously who cares about this comment that's what I say every night but no now I have to make a scene just to make sure this post doesn't feel stupid and out of place is this how degraded internet culture has become
