Graviton Salvager | Graviton Salvager

[Drake_XIV]

Here's some feedback to both of the salvagers:
In the current state (salvage triggers upon permanent destruction IF the creature is on the field) the gravity one is OP and the aether one is, well, UP. ( is continuous card advantage while  doesn't really do anything)
Suggestion: Change the ability to ETB. That way both cards would have uses.

ETB?

ETB?

Enter the Battlefield

So it would be triggered once, immediately when played, PU'd or Mitosis'd
Towers have an ETB ability to generate 1 quanta.

I personally do not like the Aether one too much. The gravity one seems pretty OP in it's current state

[qetuol]

what if i have full hand? (nightmared, SoB)? i guess, then salvaging is not working

[Narukta]

Playing against an Half blood(   ) I noticed one thing: Salvaging is a passive ability (so it cannot be lobotomized) and you can apply butterfly effect to create a powerful PC and anti-PC at the same time.

What if for some strange reason, they destroyed their own permanent?

Possibly Shard of Patience???

This + SoP + Overdrive . Add in upped otyughs for strategic noming.

The truly beautiful part about this card is that salvage is a passive ability. Meaning it isn't removed by lobotomize and can have a secondary ability stacked on top of it.
Its actually one of my favorite gravity cards.

For a measly 1 you get:
A 1|5 creature -> hard to kill (especially with SoPa out) makes a good candidate for overdrive
Protects your permanents from destruction with being counterable by lobo liquid shadow
Provides a spot to overlay other abilities: Overdrive, Butterfly effect, Vampire

Its not gonna win games all by itself or anything, but for the price its awfully good.

I think it definitely outshines the unupped grav merc as a creature in the 5 hp class even with the recent cost reduction... kinda sad actually. That poor card is never gonna see use now.

Some additional usage notes for new users:
-Salvage does NOT stop steal (so steal is not truly just copying followed by destruction otherwise it would trigger this)
-Salvage is prevented by both freeze AND delay effects
-Salvage cannot be removed by lobotomize and will not be overriden if the creature gains a new ability

Does mutants become Graviton salvager (or Aether, for that matters)? How does it works when earthquake hits?

[CuCN]

It returns only one pillar/pendulum when earthquake is played. I don't know about whether mutation can result in a salvager.

[Acsabi44]

It returns only one pillar/pendulum when earthquake is played.

What if U have 3 out?

EDIT: Tested and it returns only 1 copy, so yeah. I wonder why.

[UndeadSpider1990]

Salvagers only return one Pillar if you're targetted by Earthquake.

I don't know if this is an oversight or deliberate. I'm mostly just pointing it out

[dawn to dusk]

What if you have an upped sundial, pulvy and this on the field? You constantly destroy and get back the sundial after stalling your opponent?

[Drake_XIV]

It has to be destroyed by your opponent, as seen on the card.
