NAME: Giant ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 6 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 5 | 7 TEXT: Throw: Throw one of your permanents at the opponent.	NAME: Giant ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 6 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 5 | 7 TEXT: Throw: Throw one of your permanents at the opponent.

ART: From http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,34339.0.html , all free art. It's placeholder art until something better is proposed. IDEA: Rutarete, Zblader, and Anarook NOTES: Damage = B (base damage) + C (cost of permanent being thrown) B = 6. My original idea was to have it similar to mutation, percentage/chance-wise. A 10% chance to miss completely (wasting a permanent), some chance to land on the opponent's field, either to potentially be used against you or perhaps damage (delay) their permanents, and the rest of the % would be to hit for plain damage. During discussion/designing though, it was simplified to the above formula. ... And now, presenting a deck utilizing Giant (courtesy of Zblader). The relics represent Giant. Tomorrow a Shield Rush shall be added.

So, basically reverse Catapult?

[Drake_XIV]

More of a Permanent Catapult rather than "reverse."

Nice... kind of reminds me of the Atog from MtG... Fun artwork too... One question, if this is used with bonewall will it do 13 damage or 6? I.e. since bonewall is a stack of multiple individual shields will you apply the total cost (7) for each individual or will each essentially be treated as a 0 cost card ... or somewhere in between?
This would also be fun in conjunction with the recently proposed Junk Wall card as well.
I see a very fun Otyugh bonewall combo here

reverse catapult as in instead of a permanent shooting creatures, its a creature shooting permanents.  /shrug.

It will throw the whole shield. So an upped bonewall would do 11, unupped 13.

Any other comments before crucible submission?

If you throw a weapon or shield and your opponent already has a permanent in that spot, what happens if the RNG decides it gets that chance to "land."

That would be a different card.

That makes sense then... Although it just seems a little off to have an upgraded card do less damage than the unupgraded version... Maybe bump damage slightly (one or 2 points) when upgraded permanents are thrown?
Otherwise I definitely like this one.

One last question: What happens for other stacked objects (pillars, shards, etc). Does the whole stack get thrown or just one?

If what you're quoting is of any merit, it throws the entire stack, but it gets treated as one permanent.

looks like a fun card.

Throw your pillars toward the end of the game when you no longer need em.

Someone noticed I don't think the damage needs to go up for upped permanents. This already has enough of an upgrading bonus. Maybe bump damage slightly (one or 2 points) when upgraded permanents are thrown?

Whole stacks are thrown.
