The gain in abilities can be either from pumping itself up, or being pumped up by other cards such as Blessing, Rage Potion, or Acceleration.

The name could be changed if a stone isn't creature-like enough. Maybe some kind of rolling armadillo or something.

I like the concept of this card. Earth is kind of in need of this kind of card anyway so it can make a better mono deck in my opinion.

Imo, another special ability should be "gathers no moss". Rolling stone... no moss... get it?

I like the concept also - but I think the upped would be fine at a cost of 4 :earth

That would be awesome! Thanks. Especially if you can make it look like a creature, like the pokemon Golem or something (obviously not quite like it). Otherwise I will have to turn it into some kind of rolling armadillo, since a plain stone can't really attack by itself.

I'm thinking of changing the health value of the unupped version to 6 so that it can be played with unupped rage potion, for more earth/fire synergy. Would be cool thrown into a lava golem deck. Do you guys think that would be fine, or would I have to nerf it in some other way to balance?

IMO you should keep the unnuped health at 4, because it would be too powerful for an unnuped card, and the 6 hp is a good advantage for the upped card, so it is balanced the way it is.

Here is what I have so far. (I know it's not too good) What should I change?

Haha, looks pretty cool already, but I would put it on top of the mountain instead of on the side of one. At the start it isn't rolling yet. Like this:

The sky is also a bit too happy for an Earth card. Maybe tone down the blue to a darker shade, or just have a plain/arsty monocolor background like in most cards. And make the stone growling rather than smiling :P. Thanks again.

You could always ask one of the art-ese people here who are always doing arts... like EmeraldTiger or that other guy who I can't remember the name of :P.
