Aleph Mask | Gemini Mask
NAME: Aleph Mask
ELEMENT: Aether
COST: 7 :aether
TYPE: Permanent (Artifact)
ATK|HP:
ABILITY: Each time you draw a card,
there is a 20% chance you will
create an identical card in your
hand if space allows.  Each
additional Aleph Mask you play
increases this chance by 5%.
NAME: Gemini Mask
ELEMENT: Aether
COST: 7 :aether
TYPE: Permanent (Artifact)
ATK|HP:
ABILITY: Each time you draw a card,
there is a 40% chance you will
create an identical card in your
hand if space allows.  Each
additional Gemini Mask you play
increases this chance by 5%.
ART: Hadley Danielson (Ess' Wife)
IDEA: Essence
NOTES: - For the Epic Contest.
- The Masks do stack with each other (Playing 2 Gemini Masks and 3 Aleph Masks gives you 86% chance to duplicate).

I'm not trying to be offensive or hurtful, and I know it's supposed to look like a mask....but the first impression I got from the card was some sort of bodice or fancy brassiere.  Maybe it's the lacy background....

The upped version is a bit too much of a deck expander.
Bring back Holy Cow!

Hmm I like the concept but how about lowering the percentages a little bit? (20 and 40?) to make it so you don't get a card every turn, because you can imagine the spam for a RoL/Hope deck or any fractal deck in general really...

I don't understand how this is supposed to affect Fractal decks.  Fractal doens't make you draw a card, it just creates new cards in your hand.  Aleph Mask only affects cards you actually draw. 

Similarly, I don't know what "deck expander" means.  This card doesn't put more cards into your deck; you'll still draw out at the same rate.

You could end up drawing 2 fractals, or 2 of the said card you need to fractal, and having say 3 fractals in a deck, would and could net you six with the current numbers, so that you can use fractal more often.

Thats how I saw it anyway. Also something I didn't think of, drawing 2 towers could be OP when combined with Fire, I say could be because it adds 4 more on that turn then 2 extra each other, again doesn't seem like THAT big a deal but who knows.

I like the effect but it seems overpowered especially with fire bolts and the like, oh god the parellel universe

btw by spell it means spells only (fire bolt for example), I'm used to Magic (everything is considered a spell when being cast)

what if it only replicated creatures?

:) But it's good art. It is nothing LIKE a brassiere.

Very nice Aether card. It can augment a rush deck... but it's probably too expensive with that. I don't think it's OP.

This could be deadly in a RoL + Hope deck.
Back just for Mafia.

I think you meant to put this in response to Immanence | Transcendence, not this card.  This card doesn't reference "spells" at all. :)

i think its a bit lopsided u could double very powerful cards like an end phase drag(could it) maybe if the percents were like 15 and 30

I like the name and modified stock photo and as well as the ability. But, it's waaay too powerful. Double Quantum/any Towers? No problem! Double Supernovas? Sure! Double Fire Bolt? Why not?!

Maybe only have it work for creatures? But, even then, it wouldn't help much, because you would be doubling your output of Phase Dragon as mentioned above. I recall reading Phase Dragon was made immaterial to avoid Twin Universe, but it may work because you have to pay the full cost anyway. I think the percentage should be lowered quite a bit and the stacking should be lowered as well.

Definitely great with Time, though.

Edit: Or maybe if we implement some kind of "Legendary Artifact/creature" system...

i don't think the up/ unnupped should stack though cause then its defintly overpowered

but wait isn't it a mask? how do you wear multiple masks?

and if your wife replaced the 'sky' with the 'mask' (other than the eyes) it might make a little more sense me thinks
