ART: Elbirn (Modified from Zanzarino's work) IDEA: Elbirn NOTES: Wanted to make a sort of Head Lycanthrope creature that turns other creatures into Lycan's, then decided that lycanthropy on a stick was OP. Figured idea had more in common with Liquid Shadow, so decided to turn the card into a sort of companion to that. Creature delay to force the one turn delay that the lycanthrope creature card experiences and for flexibility. SERIES:

Is a more one option to raise the status, is a good card I think balanced

[skyironsword]

5 for +5|+5. Hmmm...

5 for +5|+5. Hmmm...

But and do not forget " delayed " actually do not think it needed it, the removal of skill I think is enough

[skyironsword]

A bit UP actually, due to being a duo. I have yet to see any uses for this outside a rainbow.

Compare it to something like blessing and I think it's fairly balanced, although probably a bit underpowered, to be honest.  It would be really cool to play this on a lycanthrope multiple times, though :p  I don't think you even really need the delay, either.  If you play it on a new creature, it won't be able to use the ability that first turn, anyway.  This is definitely a fun card more than anything else.  (dragon lycanthropes ftw!)  It could also see some minor use as a sort of poor man's lobotomizer or the like.  (oops, sorry, your nymph now has lycanthropy...)

Aye, I tried balancing this using blessing, Lycanthrope, and Liquid Shadow. I kinda felt like the one turn delay would be necessary because one could play this on a creature that's already been out a turn or so and use the ability (Sauce: Mitosis on creatures already out for a turn), then play again, use ability, play again, use ability. The one turn delay forces one to space out the ability.

Maybe that makes it seem UP, but gaining +5|+5 per card is pretty powerful. Throwing in that CP is in element already and darkness has vamps...Honestly I think this could lead to OP combos, I honestly considered making this card more expensive and still kinda feel like I should.

This = 3 + 1 card + 2 + lobo + 1 turn delay for +5/+5
Blessing = 3 +  1 card for +3/+3
Chaos power = 1 + 1 card + Upgrade for an average of +3/+3

This feels a bit UP.

[Brontos]

Maybe you can reduce the casting cost to 1. The delay and the dual quanta needed are already balancing the effect.

[Rutarete]

I feel like this is more powerful than any of the other buff spells, besides momentum, because it gives the biggest all-around boost. Blessing can save little creatures from most things, but this on any creature takes it out of range of all instant-kill type CC. Plus, using this repeatedly is slightly more efficient than Rage Pot + Archangel.

[Elbirn]

Good points Ruta. Also, I feel that removing the 1 turn delay or decreasing casting cost would make this card overshadow the lycanthrope card, or at the very least be redundant...

Any other comments, suggestions, ideas?

Vamps? They would lose their ability upon playing this card.
