NAME: Energy Surge ELEMENT: Aether COST: 3 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: - TEXT: Target player takes damage equal to the amount of creatures the player has in play.	NAME: Energy Surge ELEMENT: Aether COST: 4 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: - TEXT: Target player takes damage equal to the amount of creatures and permanents the player has in play.

ART: Original art is found at http://www.sxc.hu/photo/944937 (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/944937). I modified it with pixlr. IDEA: Shantu NOTES: This card is supposed to synergise with Nightmare and Aflatoxin. Pillar and Pendulum stacks count as 1 permanent, no matter how many it has. (Would be OP otherwise, no? Subject to change.) It would be reflected by reflective shields. SERIES: -

This is the idea I came up with while reading the Buff Nightmare topic. Name is subject to change and I will find a picture later.

Please comment, this is my first card idea.

I like the mechanic but I think it fits darkness's theme more.
Curse, Bane, Malison would fit for names.

You could use "the player" or" "they" instead of he/she.

this would murder ferox

Updated with a picture.

@OldTrees
I don't want to make it Darkness as it already has a direct damage spell and Nightmare is darkness also. If more people think it should be Darkness, I might change it.

@918
Thanks, changed it.

@927
Unupped, it wouldn't (up to 23*6=138 damage < 200). Upped.. perhaps, with all the bonds he has.

[Baily18]

Is it reflected by mirror/jade shields?

[AnonymousRevival]

Probably would.

[Shantu]

Yes, I wanted to add it but forgot. Since this is a targeted spell it is reflected by reflective shields.
Also, I just realised this could be a buff to Aflatoxin. (Fill then nuke!) A reason not to make it a Death card.

CURATOR COMMENT
-Please provide a page where the artwork source is specifically found. Please don't link it to 'www.sxc.hu' - link it to the page where the art is found.


This could be an interesting card if you or your opponent is spamming creatures like mad, and you don't have quite the CC to get rid of all of them - interestingly enough, Fractal would actually be countered by this card fairly well.

Mindgate deck with a reflective shield.

Nuke yourself!

i think that this card is balanced. i would not put it in the forge for pure intrigue but because i think the card will fit in well with the game.
