ART: Drake_XIV IDEA: Drake_XIV NOTES: My first card in the Forge! With that out of the way, I felt this needed to be filled out a tad more. Yes, I realize that this is a tad situational.  But it is just as situational as Hope, and seeing as that's going to be removed, why not milk Bioluminescence for a bit more.  Especially in the offensive side. The higher costs come from the fact that can and will generate enough quanta in the situation this will be used.  So to prevent simply spamming it with a combo like the one below, it has been raised to slightly discourage that. Graveyard > Ray of Light > Light Flux > Luciferase > Light Flux Speaking of which, it is the only spell that I know of that will create controllable mass death effects on your side, so there is that to be wary of. It can still target specific creatures, as with the bolt spells.. SERIES:

Umm...wow...
Besides the fact that insta-kill cards are generally frowned upon this seems pretty overpowered. Especially the cost.
Personally, I don't very much like that mechanic, but if you were going to modify it, I would suggest upping the price, perhaps having it drain all light quanta.

I'm probably going a bit overboard, but I dislike insta-kills.

EDIT:Sidenote: cool art, cool name, and now that I think about it, not a bad mechanic. Not necessarily a great one, but not bad.

[Drake_XIV]

I really don't see how this is an insta-kill per se.  At optimal conditions (RoL > Fractal > Boneyard > Time Flux > Luciferin > Time Flux), it deals... oh, 92.  But considering the nature of this strategy, reaching this state isn't exactly easy to get to.  Unless I'm missing something...

And I was considering draining quanta, but Light already has Miracle, so there's that.

Edit:  I forgot to include that it only targets the owner's creatures...

TBH, it doesn't seem powerful at all. It feels quite UP since you have to sacrifice a light emitting creature for only 2 damage.

[maverixk]

Oh, only yours? Well that changes everything. Now I see it as UP.
By insta-kill I meant by way of creatures, that it instantly killed the creatures.
This seems very situational, and even in the best situation it's good, but by that time you've already got your opponent beaten(most likely)

[Drake_XIV]

In my opinion, it's just as situational as Hope.

As I previously mentioned, I saw it used with Fractal RoL or maybe FFQ (unupped, mind you).  But in the case of the latter, I do see how it would seem rather pointless since it deals more damage just by attacking.  Would it be better off at 3 damage per Creature?

This could make some crazy powerful decks if they were really dedicated

That could be said for most Bolt-like spells.

[UndeadSpider1990]

May I suggest a re-wording?

Inflict 3 damage to opponent.

[freemod1espilon]

That might be just a tad helpful but maybe its made so it can heal if used in combo with SoSac

[Fippe94]

This could go well with RoL/Hope by using this to finish the enemy off once they are on low health.

odd card kinda pointless in my opinion
