Just a question: Why does this scorpion have attack already? I know forest scorpion already does, but this is stronger than that...

I forgot to mention that I realize there's already a scorpion expansion pack by Malebolgia. I did not realize that the name was similar though, but there are plenty of card ideas with similar/same names (ex: apocalypse, zombie, etc), and the two cards have distinctly different abilities.

This scorpion doesn't stack poison, and against a non-healing deck, it's actually weaker than the :life counterpart.

As for the names issue, I see it as a formality and technicality but a kind gesture. If both cards are in the Crucible it might create confusion. Try to distinguish both names.

I think I've asked before but I wonder what the official protocol is on same-name card ideas?

I've asked malebolgia for permission to use this card name, assuming that he's done working with his card.

(seems like he's gone though... <_<)

Well, I am actually popping in now and then, giving myself some space with the game, but yeah you can use the name.  I like the idea better than mine, mine is a little cheesy to be honest, something I had with some of the scorpions.

Love. I get so annoyed when people spam so many healing cards

Edit: I don't know a thing about making card's but this seems a little weak to be a fire card maybe 2 | 2 for the unupped and 3 | 2 for the upped version.

It would be great to see this card and perhaps others cards that does a variation of this ability added to the game.

I like the idea but it might be a bit too powerful currently. Perhaps starting with no attack would be better but then again it doesn't seem as powerful as Dune Scorpion. Still a very interesting idea.

Well dune scorpion is by far the strongest scorpion once it has attack, so it's not really a fair comparison. Forest scorpion is the weakest, so it starts of with attack.
