ART: OdinVanguard IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: By return to your deck, I mean get shuffled in (e.g. placed in random locations). There just wasn't room for all that on the card though Most damage and healing spells should be fairly obvious but just in case: Spoiler for damage spells: Hover over cards for details, click for permalink Deck import code : [Select] 55v 594 5c2 5f4 5f8 5fb 5i8 5ia 5lc 5lj 5oh 5on 5us 5v1 61q 8pp Shard of Divinity, Poison, plague, liquid shadow, chaos seed, and pandemonium are up for debate. I could go either way. Basalisk blood, Gravity pull, acceleration and possibly plate armor and blessing are maybes as well, but I'm leaning more toward no. SoSac is probably a no since I have a feeling people would scream over that. Feedback is appreciated SERIES:

Thunderstorm. Where is it?!

Also of course people would scream over SoSac, because if you play this and a PA on it, last turn, with your last card being SoSac: either the enemy has purify, or he lost.

ah good point. Sorry I missed that one.

Hmm did it change to "this turn" while i was replying or did i misread it?
I like the concept, since it doesn't work on itself i assume. However there is currently no way to increase the amount of spell cards of one type you have yourself, unlike creatures (fractal/mitosis. Mindgate working only on the enemy), and that is very likely for a good balance reason. You would have to investigate this issue in-depth. Think of SoD.

Its always had "this turn" in there. This is a spell card not a permanent, so its a 1 turn deal.
I was thinking of making it a permanent, but that just seemed like it could get out of control too fast.

Since this is not a damage or healing spell, it wouldn't fall under the influence of its own effect.

I'll see what people in design theory thread think about balance issues. Feedback seems a little sparse here.

Essentially its an attempt to help spell / creature-less decks have a shot at being successful without needing OTK bolt or gas tactics.
