IDEA:
Scaredgirl
NOTES:
This is yet another card in my upcoming "Delayed Reaction" series.

Idea is once again to have a card that produces something really overpowered, but with a delay. Image is not quite what I had in mind but I couldn't find a better one.

In case the description is not clear, this is a creature factory permanent that automatically spawns a creature from another dimension every 4-5 turns.

Dimensional Horror = random creature (ATK|HP is original increased by +6|+6) with a random ability that always costs :aether.
Dimensional Terror = random creature (ATK|HP is original increased by +10|+10) with a random ability that always costs :aether.

This one might need a nerf because of Dimensional Shield.

- Dimensional Gate spawns a basic mutant
- Dimensional Portal spawns an upgraded mutant
- The trigger to spawn the creature is uncontrolled and will simply occur when the Dimensional Portal becomes undelayed as its action at the end of your turn. You will have no chance to play anything before the turn passes to your opponent.

Oh, yes. Time for a new mono-Aether to emerge ;)

Couple questions.

1) Are the Dimensional Horrors available as standalones? :D
2) Why are the Terrors upped mutants? We don't have upped mutants in this game; are you introducing new concepts and stuff?
3) What's the difference between an upped mutant and an unupped mutant? Do the upped mutants have better stats?
4) The 10+|10+ is based on the original creature's base stats, right?

Overall, very nice. It actually seems a little UP. 8 :aether for a 10+|10+ mutant straight off is slightly OP. However, this has a massive 5 or 4 turn delay. I would tone the price down to 7 :aether or even 6 :aether.

Would the Horror/Terror be spawned at the end of the 5th turn or the beginning of the 6th (allowing a quintessence straight away or not)?

But yeah, it almost seems TOO expensive, but then again if its a mono-aether deck your probably hiding behind shields for a long time.

I really like your delayed reaction series of cards thus far, are you going to make one for each element?

I am also curious if the horror and terror will be stand alone cards or be like ash and be only limited to this card.

I also very much approve of the mono feel to it for Aether, Its great.

1) Unfortunately.. no. They are creatures from another dimension so only way to get them is through this gate/portal.

2) and 3) Yeah, I changed the text a bit while you were typing. Whether the mutants are upped or not makes no difference really. I just think the upped version should produce upped cards because it looks cooler that way.

4) I'm not sure. My original plan was that the mutant would just have like 10-15 in both stats but what you suggest is even better. I'm changing to to "original ATK|HP of the creature increased by +10|+10"


Would the Horror/Terror be spawned at the end of the 5th turn or the beginning of the 6th (allowing a quintessence straight away or not)?
It would be spawned as soon as the delay went away. So at the end of turn giving your opponent a chance to get rid of it.


But yeah, it almost seems TOO expensive, but then again if its a mono-aether deck your probably hiding behind shields for a long time.
Its' a bit difficult to say without testing but I was thinking about decks that had 6 of these and tons of defense/delay. Once you would get 3-4 of these babies on the table, you would get 1 super mutant per turn for free! That would suck for your opponent.

Yep, the plan is to make 12 cards, one for each element. This is the 3rd.

And no, they wouldn't be available as stand-alone because this gate/portal is the only way to access that another dimension.

I like it a lot, but I prefer the mutants to have an ability cost in accord to it's own element. Because then Mono or Duo Aether would be.. SCARYgirl. Also, because I like how it can be so random, it can be fun.

Can't wait to see the rest of the collection (I've commented on the two before this one) and I actually hope they make some progress, I like the big creature stomping ideas.

Random ability, seriously? I mean, i get steal, growth, devour all for aether?

This card alone supplies you powerful critters That you can instantly quint.
Only redeeming feature it is slow production.
Still, it feels like a rainbow repainted to aether :)

Rainbow is great because you can pick and choose what cards you want. This one is way too random to be as effective as a rainbow deck. The fact that it takes so long to get a creature makes this card much less powerful. Also it costs 8 :aether to play which is not cheap.

could always have it absorb quantums while it's in stasis... it collects energy before discharging it to summon forth some extra-dimensional abomination or w/e it may be...
