Overgrowth | Overgrowth

[Higurashi]

I mainly like this because it's a way for Life to get more healing. Unfortunately, since it can't be powered off mark alone, it's not monolife as I would like, but still a nice card. Only think I notice is that the water-looking Purify counter doesn't seem like something that would come out of overgrowth. More a spring or well of cleansing or something. But I've already seen cards like that, so eh.

If the permanent is destroyed do the healing counters stay? Seems like they would but I'd like to be sure.

[coinich]

Yes they would.

[Higurashi]

Yeah, they produce the exact same counter you get from the Purify card. Can only poison those away.

Wonderful!

I would change the test to
'At the end of every turn add one purify counter'

You have my vote!

[coinich]

I would certainly do that if I could.  The thing is, I specifically used the wording Purify does; I wanted the card to be "realistic" as possible.  Oddly enough, I think it would be clearer if it specifically mentioned Purify counters.  I'll put up a poll.

Current description implies severely underpowered SoG, cumulative made me think 6 of these cards would heal 6 each turn, period.

Reading the comments made me realize what the idea was, and I like it. Since you have cards that provide an increasing flow of poison, it only seems fair to have cards that provide an increasing flow of healing, as well.

I voted for keeping the current card text, solely because I don't want to remove the element of having to research on your own. I absolutely love doing that. Having card texts that reveal everything would remove it, and thus an entire dimension of card games. Truly not advisable.

The only real problem I see with this card is that it introduces cumulative effects to the game without explaining them. Those of us who have played other CCGs will understand that both the counters and the drain build up, but I don't think that's immediately apparent just from the word cumulative.

Cumulative is a holdover from Purify, and possibly derived from the Poison spell (after Purify's change) which says poison accumulates.  I assume it means that the Purify counters accumulate.  I also know that its still not clear what it does in the current wording.

The website you got the art from says absolutely nothing about the copyright of the image. Without knowing the original copyright holder, using an image is a terribly bad idea.

This image also has color and is much more representative of an 'Overgrowth' possibly.
