So it's entirely conceivable that I might Lobo a skill-less enemy Micro Abomination every turn as a form of preventative medicine.  Hey, as long as it's consistent and known, I'm cool with that.

Interesting strategy.

I remember you from the Kongai beta forums, MaddAddams.  Welcome to the Elements Forums. 

Heya! Not gonna lie - I recognized your name when it started popping up in T50

Just to toss in my two cents on why the current setting makes sense: it's entirely possible to use improve and get a non-airborne creature with dive.

Issue Archive / Lobotomize Causes Summoning Sickness [confirmed]

I had a Pest on the field.  Lobotomizer Lobotomized its Burrow ability.  Next turn I cast BE on my Pest, but the ability would not activate for my Pest to Destroy the weapon.  Initially I thought it was an odd quanta issue, as I had also cast SoR because I was short on chaos quanta, but a following situation where I did the same BE + SoR combo without having been Lobotted worked as I expected.

So I know it effects very few situations but I think Lobotomize causes Summoning Sickness.  Is this a bug or an intended effect?

Just a further update: I just did a BE + SoR in a situation where I hand't been lobotomized but didnt start with 8 chaos quanta and did have use of my ability.  So this is probably the Lobotomizer acting funky.  I'll start a new post.

So basically what we're saying is that Lobotomizer causes summoning sickness on a creature's next turn?  Is this a bug or not?

I feel there's more to it than simply summoning sickness. 

I had a Pest out, my opponent used a Lobotomizer on it.  Next turn, I gave it Butterfly Effect and as I didn't have enough Chaos Quanta, I also gave it Shard of Readiness (using all my available quanta, 2 dark and 1 chaos to be precise).  My Pest was unable to play its ability and was subsequently re-lobotomized, leaving me in a rough place.  I felt robbed, since I thought the conditions were in place for me to have use of my ability.

I am uncertain if this was a consequence of having previously been lobotomized, or because I couldn't naturally afford the Destroy when it initially became available, but something was up.

If you try to draw a card from the opponent and they have 0 left, you get a message that says you're already drawing a card or have eight cards in your hand.  I think you should have to lose the game.

So this card self-destructs when its owner's Entropy quanta is gone, not all of their quanta (for the upped)?  Not how I expected it to function, but I guess otherwise it'd be too easy to pummel opponents that play this by using a denial deck.
