Very nice Idea and artwork. I like this one but the only problem is that it could become overpowering when coupled with Multiple firestorms or anything that kills multiple creatures. It would devalue Fractal and Bone yard a lot. It could be very devastating in those situations. I still Like it though.

I did something right 
Anyways, the idea behind death is tadah! Death triggered effects.
Might lower the damage.

I like this idea, but it presents a terrible problem with cards like Ball Lightning and Virus which can be killed at will; Fractaling these creatures would result in terrible amounts of damage, too terrible in my opinion.  I think it could work if the damage was reduced to a lower amount.

[Anarook]

Refer to the notes for that, I was thinking of that way ahead of time.

I noticed.  However, in the case of Ball Lightning it does little to solve the problem because the damage from the creature itself is being dealt in addition to the effect damage.  With Virus, that is a viable solution.

to be honest even if it was reduced to 1 damage per creature dying, it would still be OP with BL fractal, think about it, with 10 BLs you do 50 damage + 10 damage = 60 damage.
upgraded version would have to be 2 damage each creature, which would make 70 damage.

I actually think this would work better if the ability was the following:

Add one poison counter to the opponents Hp every time a creature dies (non-stackable)

that would give a good buff to poison but not necessarily an OP buff.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Poison be even worse than 1 damage considering the damage is recurring and not finite?

its not as worse as the instant damage factor because you have purify and healing cards such as feral bond, SoG and miracle etc.

That's...like saying that a direct damage spell which deals 50 instant damage for free is balanced because it can be stopped by Jade/Mirror Shield; it just doesn't work that way.

but there are more healing factors according to poison, instant damage is not as worse as accumulated poison.
perhaps we could make it, every enemy creature dying instead of any creature.
that way its weaker but still efficient according to plague, etc.

Theres a thought. Though it still pisses off the ball lightning fanatics
