It's also very good with nightmare and mindgate.

Countered easily by sanc though

This also words beautiful with Rainbow decks in general.

What's that? You have a miracle in your hand? Oops, mine now. 

Love the card, very nice idea.

There is currently a set of cards called Apocalypse | Apocalypse is the crucible right now. Might want to rename this.

The devour addition seems to be an overcomplication, IMHO. It looks fine ATM since Spark + Remnant needs 2-3 cards, where RoF only needs 1.

Just checking - is Explosive an innate active (lobotomizer stops it, appears under creature) or Perpetual Passive (lobotomizer doesn't stop it, appears in the little description window.)?

I'm thinking it should be Perpetual, because as you said, RoF takes one card, plus it does more damage, removes invisibility, and it doesn't target your field.

So sparks+explosive=yes?
You should also make it if any creature with explosive is devoured the creature that ate is is instantly killed.

If so, should the two damage to the field not happen?

So if you use this with Schro cat can it just explode over and over?

No, because the card isn't destroyed.

Correct. The key word is "destroyed", as it has to leave the field. Schro cat, just makes it as if it had died. Besides, even if its ability did trigger Explosive, the resulting 2 damage would kill it.

No comments? I'm sure this card isn't perfect, any constructive criticism?

Seems mildly costly.  Elements contains surprisingly few Element based cards, Nightfall and Holy Light being the main exceptions.  Perhaps the cost is a bit high?

Perhaps, but Sturdy is a bit of a strong ability, seeing as it makes creatures twice has hard to kill. Were you to stick it on a Chimera with 25 hitpoints, it could take up to 50 points of damage before dying, even more if you had something healing it. It also makes creatures with growth far stronger. It could even be used to counter Flooding/Inundation, as it would change the opponents creatures to Earth, thus making them vulnerable to Flooding/Inundation.

NAME: Fragment of Earth ELEMENT: Earth COST: 7 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: The target creature gains Sturdy and changes its element to Earth.	NAME: Fragment of Earth ELEMENT: Earth COST: 6 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: The target creature gains Sturdy and changes its element to Earth.

ART: Luminous Umbra IDEA: Luminous Umbra NOTES: Sturdy: When a creature with Sturdy is dealt damage, the amount of damage dealt is half of what would normally be dealt, rounded up. Sturdy is passive. When a creature changes element, it counts as the element it is changed to and does not count as the element it was until it is destroyed. Any effects that revolve around the element of the creature change after the activation of the card that changes the creature's element. Example: You play Fragment of Earth and target a Black Dragon you control. If you had a Nightfall out, the dragon would lose the +1/+1 bonus after the activation of Fragment of Earth.

Well.....This is a surprise.  Didn't think Á Bao A Qu would be remade so quickly.
I hope this does better than my original idea. Know that I will support this every step of the way.

Even it's just one more turn, you can miracle after playing a few SoDs while N's in play. That should keep you going long enough so you can kill E later on. The instawin mechanic in general feels awkward ATM, just my intuition/gut feeling.

That's my feeling too. Perhaps it could deal a set amount of damage, so that it can also be countered by reflecting shields, having enough life, or other methods I'm forgetting. Perhaps 50 for the unupped, 70 for upped.
