IDEA:
Darkrobe
NOTES:
A Prowler is something that "roves furtively or with predatory intent". the idea behind this card is basically a jungle cat that would seek out hurt or poisoned creatures to attack them and eat them. It is meant to be a buff to Poison Carapace in a mono life deck.

Basically if an enemy creature is Weakened (meaning that the creature is posioned, stalled, at less than max health, frozen, or otherwise incapacitated or hurt), this creature will attack that weakened creature instead of the enemies health. "Going in for the Kill" so to speak. This attack happens automatically, you do not need to target anything.

If there are multiple hurt or poisoned creatures on the opposing side, Prowler will attack a random enemy from among those that are weakened.

This card should serve as a speed buff to any normally weak CC, such as plague, thorn carapace, or lightning storm. Once you have weakened a creature, you can let your prowlers come in and finish the job.

*note: this creature will not attack creatures that are not weakened. it must be used in tandem with another form of CC.

Suggested combos:
Prowler + adrenaline + spine carapace (or plague)

I see this as Warden for :life. It seems to be too weak (atk is too low) to do much without a nother element's buff. i think 2|3  || 3|4 would be ok for stats at 2 :life cost
It is the greatest mystery of all...

Well its meant to speed up other types of CC. so for example, poison carapace or plague. things that are annoyingly slow CC. so in a way, yes, it does need a buff from another card to get moving. but you have 6 of these on the field and thats 6(12) damage to 1 enemy creature that is hurt. I guess with a high hp creature like a dragon. it would take this card multiple turns to take it down. but thats still less turns than it would take a thorn carapace.

Anyone else think the card is too weak? even if i make "weakened" include delayed or frozen or otherwise incapacitated creatures?

Edit: on a side note, if i made weakened more broad. it would be a life synnergy with warden. stall while prowlers attack and destroy.

also, i think it is important to consider that this can be mitosised in a mono life, thus you can easily have 8 or 10 on the field in a few turns (meaning 16 (20) damage to weakened creatures).

Another great solid idea with  a new mechanic. This would have decent synergy with cheap CC like lightning storm or plague. essentially releasing these prowlers onto everything.

Also if there are multiple weakened creatures does it randomly attack creatures?

Hadnt really decided. either random, or it could attack creatures in order of position.

Shouldn't weakened on the card image be just weaken? And in the table too?

I think it should be weakened. aka "previously made weak". as opposed to weaken or weakens. aka "makes weak".

Interesting idea, maybe rename the ability and put it in a different element (darkness)?

It was going to be an entry in the unofficial life card contest. so the thematics of Prowling and Forest stalker is catered to life. Im sure it could be custom fit to another element. Im currently biased to keeping it in life because life needs more CC, while darkness doesnt really, it already has a few methods of control.

Life needs something like this, it comboes well with thorn carapace and I'd love to strap an adrenaline onto this thing. And the CC it provides life would be invaluable.
