Any more discussion on the card? Just looking for some more feedback before I try to push this forward.

And if anyone wants to submit art (you to ddevan96    ) go right ahead.

Since discussion seems to be at a standstill at the moment, I'm going to be presumptuous and assume it's all good.

As much as I really like my art I think something a little more serious is in order. I'll take any such art submissions and gladly give use, and give credit, for the art.

CURATOR COMMENT
-Add a icon to the card's Cost section in the table (it needs to match your card image; as it stands now, it implies that it costs 4 generic quanta instead)
-*Add a ':' and/or ability name for the Permanent's mechanic (tangle?)

* = suggestion

Simple, and easily ridden by permanent control from 4 different elements. I like it, although I really think you should give it a name to make it more distinguished than it being 'delayed'...

- Added the " " symbols to the tables for cost.

- modified the card text box to include ":" between the ability and its cost to use.
 
- Gave the card specific names for their mechanics; "Tangle/Entangle." The reason for the slight difference in names is to indicate the differences in cost and duration.

- As I noted in the OP, I wanted to use a familiar game mechanic, in this case "Delay," to highlight what the entangling would do. I figure it would be easier to make this card happen if the mechanic was one already in use by the game. However, it makes perfect sense to have a different naming convention for the card and thus make it a bit more fitting and distuished for Life.

I know exactly how I am going to do this art. However, it's going to be fairly tedious. I should have it done in a couple of weeks, if I work at the pace I've been doing art.

Seriously, epic thanks! +karma when you get it done and again, thanks for the help!!

-Please fix the spelling mistake in your card images to match the table (It should be 'entangle', not 'entagle'. ^^; )

Fair enough. Assuming that Zanz does create more visual control designs (Frozen, Delay, etc.), the art for these Vines wrapping around something would be quite a sight to see in-game.

Hopefully I've chased off all my little typo demons from infesting this post!

Done and done.

Perhaps the trees entangle abomination like in the freeze card?

[Kuross]

Yay, this card made it to stage 1! Now, to get it to stage 2.

Hi,

Since you made it to the forge, I think it's a shame you got no art for this card (and I like the idea). 

So, I tried to make one for you, hopefully you'll like it? Here it is:

Thread is kind of old but.. well, just to say that I like the card, it'd be a nice addition to the game, but I think that it shouldn't stop the abilities, like the Time Bubble (which I hate.. SO MUCH) does. i.e., if a Purple Nymph is tangled, she still uses Antimatter.
