Good?

Please fix the COST section on your table.
3 should be 2 (in the first column)
2 should be 1 (in the second column)

Done; thanks for reminding me :3

(Forgot to change those earlier D:)

No problem, just doing my (soon to be) job

Better than good -- it's downright awesome 8D

I'll update the card image again now

I just think I should say this, the word "Telekinesis" is the act of moving objects with your mind, while "Psychokinesis" is the act of changing thoughts. So, "Psychokinesis" does not really fix the card's action.

If this is the case, I don't see why it still doesn't work.  One you are physically moving them against their will, the other you are commanding them to and they will obey.

By strict transliteration definition, yes, you are correct.

However, the two terms are pretty much used interchangeably.

"Telekinesis is a term used in parapsychology as either an alternate for psychokinesis or as the name of a specialty ability under the umbrella term of psychokinesis to refer to using the power of the mind to cause the movement of matter at a distance."

Ajit's explanation to the upgrade's name also makes sense.

Touche Ajit. That's an impressive way to interpret the upped name.

That said, the one thing that might be a little bit confusing to beginning players (should they buy this card) is the whole targeting scheme, as the majority of cards only need a single target-mechanic to work, but other than that, it's cheap, simple, and a fun concept to have in some decks that need to get around (or into) a few obstacles.

Intresting, but it would be kinds useless until some new creature-slot-based cards are introduced... Nice idea though.

Yay, it's in Crucible! :D

Right now, there are still a few cards it can play around with (Bone Wall, Antimatter, Flooding, and also EM manipulation).

Opening up the possibility of an instant creature-kill combo also helps

But yes, a few more cards involving the creature-slot will increase the utility of Telekinesis.

The Dark Kraken (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21004.0.html) card would greatly benefit from the present idea ...

[BloodAngel]
