Shadow | Silhouette

[moomoose]

NAME: Shadow ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 8 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Generates a shadow of the target creature.  Its statistics and effects match the target creature's each turn	NAME: Silhouette ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 7 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Generates a silhouette of the target creature.  Its statistics and effects match the target creature's each turn

ART: moomoose IDEA: moomoose NOTES: This is sort of a hybrid between voodoo doll and twin universe.  This card would benefit to be played on a creature with grow or one that is likely to continue to be buffed.  The downside is that it would be a bad idea to cast shadow on an opponent's creature and then follow it up by either killing or casting antimatter on that creature. The shadow is a one way link, the opponent can kill/antimatter/etc the shadow without killing the target creature, but if the target creature is killed (or antimattered) the shadow would follow suit and either die, inverse its attack or etc. Wider range of applications, benefits and drawbacks than twin universe, I think. Just to be totally clear, yes, it is safe to assume the shadow will be played on your side of the field if you are the one casting the spell. SERIES:

The card doesn't specify on what side of the field the shadow is generated on.
While you can assume your side as the opponent wants to kill it, perhaps it is theirs to destroy the possibilty of double the damage (AM).
This card is very similar to the original voodoo doll, and I loved that, so what's not to like?

[Nepycros]

Hmm, a one-way kill, right? That's peculiar. And, the element of the shadow would be the same as the original? Or would it be darkness.

[moomoose]

same element as the original.  reason being the reverse time factor.  if reverse time is cast on shadow, the base creature will be added to the top of the deck- not the spell shadow.  also- in regards to nightfall: if a darkness/death creature is shadow'd and nightfall is played, the shadow will only gain the benefit once, not twice.

[Uppercut]

also- in regards to nightfall: if a darkness/death creature is shadow'd and nightfall is played, the shadow will only gain the benefit once, not twice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Cards with special exemptions to other cards are bad.  There is no reason that it shouldn't get the bonus twice.

[~Napalm]

Woah. That's a fun idea!

[AnonymousRevival]

I recommend to be 7 because the effects can be both good or bad.

[moomoose]

sorry uppercut, i disagree as it already is in effect that only one nightfall can be in effect at any time, hence why it only effects once, and if you disagree, thats fine, but to each his own.

May sound a bit off-topic, but... Shouldn't the upgraded version art have a bit larger breasts?

Anyways, this card looks like an interesting way of doubling an effect of buffs for the same quanta cost. Especially useful with spells like Butterfly Effect or high quanta consuming creature abilities zeroed using Shard of (?)Readiness.

Two more questions: what would happen if I, say, copy my Otty, and then devour some creature using the copy? Will the copy gain +1/+1, or 0/0 and just kill the devoured thing?
And how would mutating the original affect the copy? Like PU with current mutants - shadow becomes the same creature, but with a random A/D and a random skill, or shadow becomes an exact same mutant as the original?

If you copy an otty, use the shadow otty to eat something, but not eat something with the original otty, the shadow otty will gain +1|+1 for that turn, but at the end of the turn it will go back to mirroring the original otty.

should this be cast on a mutant or a creature that is mutated, the shadow version will have the same attack/hp and skill, the link will be maintained.

What if I cast Shadow on my own Shadow?



Kidding. Actually, you could probably make non-Shadows/Silhouettes the only viable/legal targets -- I don't know how difficult it would be to implement game-wise.

I like this card.

I'm not sure about the art (besides Nymphs, what other creatures are sexy women?  ) but the idea behind this card is very nice.
