ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1281538 IDEA: russianspy1234 NOTES: Will replace previous skill if any. Will remove any status that prevents attack (e.g. delay from time shield, guard, freeze, basalisk blood, etc) Only removes the current status, doesn't prevent it from being delayed again. SERIES:

Interesting...  It seems so bland, but it doesn't seem useless...

Sort of related?

Also, *skill, not skills.

Looks to be an interesting card, although I'm not sure if this idea is super original.

yes somewhat, though i'd say different enough...  there is only so much design space.

derp.

does this make it better than it's own ability?

I don't really see the super offensive uses for this, letting a creature get blaze and then powering it seems to be too slow to be effective, and I don't really see any creature who would really need a blaze ability for the cost of 1 card + 3 .

This seems to be more akin to a soft lobo, but fire already has too much, and much harder, CC.

fire/earth duo where you put this on your gnome riders after you have enough earth?

another card for a scorpion rainbow deck?

flaming vampires or pests?

what if i added "removes any delaying status (eg frozen/basalisk/delay)

Most decks using gnome riders are very fast immolation based decks. This extra card won't help speed it up
another card for a scorpion rainbow deck?
Scorpion rainbow? Scorpions are used because they have venom. This will remove venom; I don't see how much it would help
flaming vampires or pests?
Vampires would be pointless since vampire is an active skill. Pest...eh, that could work, but pest already has nightfall or a combo, and if the only real combo for offense is with pest, it's quite limited
what if i added "removes any delaying status (eg frozen/basalisk/delay)
I feel that would shift this card quite a bit. It'd be like a mini quint (heals delay status), but also a type of lobo. It would certainly make this card different and more original.

Maybe a cost buff would make it more useful?

Also, this + time creature + SoR = a free 2 damage buff every turn, with +4 on turn 1. Not bad.

Use mitosis (which is just a bit more cost) and it's way more than just +2

ah right, forgot those were in the same slot as skills that you manually activate
