love the card! but i would suggest switching the names round.
The romans did more for britain, but the greeks did more for humanity.
(i do no its just a game but still-it just seems like a more logical progression)
 :D

What exactly do you mean by this?

Yeah, it would make sense in chronological order, but I just thought that the more powerful version should sound slightly... stranger, odder, more exotic. "Fortuna" sounds a lot more familiar than "Tyche", so the more powerful version is more distant and strange.

Update: We're in the Crucible! :)

With this, basilisk blood is basically an extremely cheap 20-attack creature. That card, at least, would make this overpowered. Imagine just 2 basilisk bloods on this. 6 turns later, your opponent's in for 49 damage in ONE attack from ONE creature. add in some parallel universes, and, well....

Don't worry. We're all insane here.

@Finkel: Yeah, but that creature is stalled for a large number of turns, is easily eliminated, requires 3 cards from 2 different elements, requires a lot of :entropy quanta, and becomes a 1|49 creature on the next turn. There are many ways to stop it. It's supposed to be used with Armors or Basilisks' Blood.

Ok here it goes first is greek next is roman

Earth   Gaia:Larunda/Larenta(closest i could find)

Air   Uranus:Ouranos

Fire   Hephaestus:Vulcan

Water   Poseidon:Neptune

Light   Helios:Apollo

Darkness   Nyx:Nox

Entropy   ...:... Btw i would NEVER have thought of luck for this!
+ Fortuna actually IS roman so i needn’t have suggested anything in the first place...

Gravity   Er well ourea=mountains:closest fit is Cybele

Time   Chronos:Saturn

Aether   Harmonia=order (Or Asteria=stars):Concordia=order

Life         Prometheus=created humans:Epimetheus=all other life
(went for Prometheues bro cos there is no roman equiv to Prometheus)
OR Vitumnus=gave life to unborn children

Death   Hades:Pluto

Oh and btw i have explanations and other alternatives-if you do want to make the cards

For :life I would actually go with Demeter and Ceres. For :darkness I'd probably go with Artemis and Diana.

But wait, what are you doing this for again? :P

why diana and artemis?-theyre symbols of hunters yeah, but they are also very very pure(they glow and bathe in pools of holy water and stuff).
Also Ceres and demeter were one of the other options i had, but thought that since prom and epi created life theyd be more suitable
oh well
ah yes-im doing this
1.because i love classical mythology and was bored (but youre at a COMPUTER *gasps* *shoked stares*  :P
2. because ever since schattenfressers cultist (AWESOME) series i wanted to make one of my own and i had no luck-i then stumbled across an idea. My intrest in classical mythology! then i saw this  >:(!
so im running this by you saying you can make it (and i promise it will be better than whatever i could do with this idea) or i could and know that i and you both know i hadnt copied  :D
ps sorry i have BIG tendency to ramble/new to forums
 :)

Have it beefed up with BB or Armor and then quint it when you're done and you're sorted for the whole game!

this is getting my vote!

Not vulnerable with basilisk blood. It is an OTK creature.
Even a simple improved armor can raise this creature into massive hurt, if this is added, it will probably be added to those entropy rush decks everyone knows :)

Wouldn't epinephrine remove the stasis faster?
So, this, plus each colors best boost: win :)
I still don't know if it is stronger than existing entropy rush decks, but i fear, it is.

How would this work with butterfly effect? would you be able to target it every other turn?
