I like it, I never would have thought of this idea, congrats!

[OdinVanguard]

Very creative and original.
I love the artwork you chose for the card by the way.

I absolutely love this card! I totally believe that Elements needs more opportunities for spell damage to occur and be useful to use. It also improves the usage of reverse time. Nice job!

[whatifidogetcaught?]

I like you tied the spell damage in with the possibility of a Nymph. Great work once again!

Why is this ?

The best way I'd balance this card would be to look at mummy and psion.
Psion is 4|4 (3 ) + Spell damage (1 )
Mummy is 5|3 (4 ) + RT resist (<1 )

A 3|3 creature costs 2 :underwold, Spell damage is +1, and RT resist is not worth enough to be considered one.

However, the random nymph can be compared to NT + QP
NT+QP = 6 + 2 cards
OH+RT = 4 + 1 + 2 cards

So I suppose it can work as a +1 .

QP will generate quanta before turning into nymph while RT do not. So NT+QP is cheaper than it seems.

I'm not sure how I feel about that art, but everything else about this card is absolutely perfect.

In regards to furball's cost analysis, I would suggest that because creatures dealing spell damage is part of aether's thing currently (psion and shard of wisdom) that having it cost 1 more than it probably would in aether is perfectly fine, much like how mirror/reflective shield is so much cheaper than emerald shield/jade shield, even factoring in the +1 DR.

This is great for . The price is good for splashing also.

I can just follow the other's opinions. The art is really nice, the hag is scary and the way the picture looks fits to the elements image-style. No fancy conditions, simple to understand, simple to use, an ordinary creature, not overpowered, I'm impressed

NT+QP also gives you a good chance of having the quanta to use the effects, where as this turns into a random nymph so you need other quanta gen to take full advantage of it.

glad most people like the art.

Why not darkness?  Basically, I had to choose an element, and this seemed like an easy way to skin it.  I wish there was more Elements lore to work with.  I imagine nymphs to be long living, but not truly immortal.  This is a nymph ravaged by time and needing dark energy to keep itself alive.   I pictured a little grandma going "back in my day, I was quite a looker" when making this card.

[doublecross]

Darkness seems like a logical choice of element.
