Aqueous Blob | Elite Blob

[RyGuy130]

NAME: Aqueous Blob ELEMENT: Water COST: 1 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 1 | 1 TEXT: Fluid: If this creature's attack exceeds one, it splits into multiple weaker blobs.	NAME: Elite Blob ELEMENT: Water COST: 0 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2 | 1 TEXT: Fluid: If this creature's attack exceeds one, it splits into multiple weaker blobs.

ART: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ferrofluid_in_magnetic_field.jpg http://www.sxc.hu/photo/475404 +Modifications by OdinVanguard IDEA: RyGuy130 NOTES: Has an active skill called 'Fluid' which causes the blob to immediately lose any buff it gains to attack power, and instead generate a number of 1|1 blobs equal to the amount of attack power it would have gained. Because of this, the Elite Blob will immediately split into two 1|1 Elite Blobs upon being played. If there are no open creature slots on the blob's side of the field, the blob still remains at one attack power and any excess blobs simply don't get created. Because this is an active skill, it can be lobotomized, allowing the blob to then accumulate attack power normally without creating more blobs. Examples of how this creature would function: -Blessing a blob would result in one blob with 1|4 and three blobs with 1|1. -A Shard of Patience would cause each blob on its side of the field to gain 2 HP and generate two additional blobs with 1|1 each turn, while any blobs in a flooded area would gain 5 HP and generate five additional blobs with 1|1 each turn. None of the blobs would gain any attack power unless lobotomized. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. SERIES:

what happens when you have maximum creature slots filled (23 blobs on the field already)?

I see great synergy with SoP and flood

It's in the notes:

Also, thanks for the feedback. There is definitely some synergy there. I like the idea of having something that effectively utilizes SoP's flood bonus without being OP.

Reminds me of one of my favorite fun cards: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=271195, so I like your idea automatically
The name is fitting.

Ha, it's a large Minecraft slime in MtG, if I'm interpreting that correctly. Also, thank you; it did take me a while to think of those adjectives, but I'm quite pleased with the results.

Yay! Someone knows their chemistry terms!

Hmm... Biggest use I could see for this right now is with SoP and Fallen Elf / Druid.

Actually, for an upgraded deck, you could probably pull it off without SoP by using chaos power.

Or maybe this + squid + trebuchet for a strange rail gun / chimera type deck... By the time you get a full field you should have the ability to make a chimera with HP that exceeds a titan.

Mind Flayer and SoP could work too probably.

Throw in flooding as well for fun and profit

Should be a fun card. Very unique and unusual but I could see it making several deck strategies much more viable.

[RyGuy130]

Thanks for the support, Odin. I actually hadn't thought of the trebuchet idea. That does definitely seem like an interesting deck.

[skyironsword]

Very nice card. But I can't see myself making a deck around it...

Cute idea, but I don't think this card would help much. Having a field full of 1|1 creatures just isn't viable...I would much rather have a 4|4 Creature than 4 1|1's, the exception being maybe using this as an alternative for RoL/hope; flooding luminescence and this card; other than that it just becomes otyugh food. Even for mutation fodder, there are just more fficient ways to do so.

Actually, this + SoP would probably be THE most cost efficient method of creature spamming in the game. It will spawn creatures faster than infested cells and may even be able to outpace boneyard kitty.

THIS WILL BE THE MOST OP MONO EVAR
Flooding + SoP + Ice shield

Any feedback or alternative art suggestions are greatly appreciated (also could really use someone able to make the orange background of the picture transparent).

How is this?
