ART: EmeraldTiger IDEA: Absol NOTES: Inspired by a discussion about vanilla creature here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,39380.msg489782.html#msg489782 Though, this is not vanilla by definition. It's pseudo-vanilla. What is this good for? For elements without efficient mid-range attacker. (unupped), (unupped again), (if you count GotP as mid-high attacker) One time use, like Lycan's skill. Is active skill. Does not cost quanta to use. Unable to target QP. (due to balance. If you think this is unnecessary, please mention) Fractal this if you want. Have fun paying for the card AND sacrifice pillar for its attack. About balancing: Glass Figure: 2 + 1 pillar, 4|6 Abomination: 5 , 5|5 Fixed. Thanks Annele. Lycan: 2 + 2 , 6|6 Graviton Merc: 4 , 3|5 Charger: 5 , 4|5 (momentum) Antlion: 2 , 2|3 (burrow) Hematite Golem: 4 , 4|6 Horned Frog: 2 , 3|3 Cockatrice: 3 , 4|4 Ash Eater: 1 , 2|1 Blue Crawler: 3 , 3|3 Pegasus: 4 , 3|2 (dive) Wyrm: 4 , 3|3 (dive) Firefly: 3 , 3|2 (bioluminescence) GotP : 6 , 7|4 (obsession) Gargoyle: 5 , 5|3 (stone form) Phase Spider: 3 , 4|2 (web) SERIES:

This is a really cool idea! 

By the way, unupped abominations cost 5 , not 2.

Nice. Really like the idea of sacrificing a pillar for damage.

As for the art, I came across this image on deviantart
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=equilibrium#/ds5nfm

and when I read the card description I thought about this image..dunno why though xD perhaps its the entity holding two "elements" or something like that  : P

Cool concept

Hhhmm... This card can really offers variety in mono-decks. If it becomes featured, a mono-deck wouldn't be so predictible about the creatures it uses, since it may exchange some creatures for Glass Figures. A neutral creature like this would be nice and its ability is really unique too! Thumbs up here!

Hmm. For some reason this art doesn't seem to fit.
I was thinking about a glass-like doll for the thematic. To activate it, you have to put in energy (from the sacrificed pillar).

Quick question: is this balanced with Flooding? Or should i add: "Will drown in Flooding?"

[mega plini]

 I'dd recomend a +1/+0 for the base stats.
Can you sac a quantum pillar or a pend?

[Sebias]

For those times you get quanta flooded. You can finally turn lemons into lemon-aid.

Personally, I would prefer a medieval colored glass picture, like the following two pics:

Ohhh I really like this one... Will give me something else to do with excess pillars... could be fun in a pillar heavy nymph spam deck as well.

Err, those are stained glass. Not glass doll (= humanoid figure made from glass)

So i did a search for art, and couldn't find any good art without crossing to the Uncanny Valley.
*sigh* can anyone please make an art for this? It looked like this:

Spoiler for Hidden:

A humanoid figure (preferably male), like a marionette, but is made entirely from glass or crystal. Around it, there are swirls of energy (any color will do, but maybe purple. Or just do mixed color.) all around the figure.

Or please point me towards the right direction for art request. Thanks.

[ARTHANASIOS]

^ Oh, I see now, by glass figure you mean glass statue, or something like that. Anyways, I had something different in mind; does anyone know an old fantasy 3rd-person action game, called Dark Vengeance? Well, in that videogame, there were some opponents made entirely from glass. Please, take a look at 9:25-9:55 of this video and you will understand what I mean (it may really be proved inspirational for the card's appearance):
