CURATOR COMMENT
-Fix the COST of your unupped card (it should be '3 :life' instead of '4 :life' to match the image)



Huh. I think I've seen this mechanic once for a weapon concept, although the card had excessive amounts of text, so it didn't fare well in the Crucible. This idea, on the other hand... :D

Table fixed. Thanks for the support Kuro.

This is a GREAT IDEA! I see potential for a series with a multiple-mark mechanic.
On a side note, if that describes a manticore, then what's a griffin? i think i've  mixed them up
A griffin is half eagle half lion.

Really awesome idea.

I don't think you should have the upgraded Death ability as "Deadly Poison"; players will get horribily confused. I never knew it only does 2 damage instead of the orginal 3. I think the unupped version can be called "Weak Poison" and the upgraded verison can be called "Poison".

Also, I think Devour for both versions can be lowered to 1  :gravity, because this creature merely has 3 health, and it requires a duo in order to make use of its ability.
Tasted the world, seen more than enough.

This worried me as well. I like that, "Weak Poison." Thanks.

EDIT: just remembered Chrysaora. Ew. Now that would get confusing.

Why?
Is it because Atk>HP? See Giant Frog.
If it is for another reason please explain.

because manticores are fire creatures. they are usually red and inhabit lava filled caves. manticores are fire creatures.

This is typically the case in games but Manticore is the creature described in the Persian myths known as the Man Eater and is not related to fire, lava or caves for that matter.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manticore

In fact Manticores are a myth that originated from encounters with Tigers in the jungles of India. Jungles and Tigers seem to fit the Life theme more than a Fire theme if you ask me.

I thought a maniticore card should actually be death because of the poison spikes and all. Just my personal opinion.
