Changing a card right off the bat and to the most extreme degree because someone has provided feedback makes you the only indecisive and rash one here. x)
2 for 6 would be fine when upped. 2 for 4 unupped. With those stats I'd use it both for bouncing and rushing.
I'd still drop it down to 6, because of its invulnerability aspect compared to other 3 cost creatures. And Air doesn't have the cheapest creatures, you know.Added a poll. You indecisive cretins.
Have you tried 2 cost, 6 attack?
It requires a 3 quanta upkeep each turn. The cockatrice does 4 damage every turn, without upkeep. Think reusable shockwave that can be blocked by sheilds.8 is way too high ^^;; This clearly casts a shadow over wyrm if its attack is left at 8..^
Even with the reversing mechanism, this improves rush decks too much.
Besides, a swallow isn't that strongOh, but it's an unladen swallow.
Not sure if this was mentioned on the thread already, "returns to your hand if you do not already hold 8 cards." isn't needed since you have to discard a card if you have 8 cards before creatures attack. I also agree with the fact that theme is somewhat off. A swallow sounds like a strength 1-4 creature to me. 8 ATK seems like it's pushing it a bit.It's not just a swallow. It's an unladen swallow, with razor sharp talons built for cracking beetle shells and caterpillar flesh.
Regarding balance : See Twin-Headed Wyvern | Twin-Headed Wyvern (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,20663.0.html).
Comparing the upped (most similar versions), Twin-Headed Wyvern paysto stay alive each turn, while Swallow pays
The difference is that multiple Swallows can prevent each other from going back to the hand (1-8 swallows fly back to max out the hand size, the others just stay there. Wyvern dies if you don't pay, period. It sounds fair, but I have one question : is the ability active or passive? I'm assuming it's passive, but you could make some powerful combos with ability negation like Mitosis and Lobo if it was active.
I just noticed this thread. I've got a bit of Java under my collar, but not much. (Think two weekends with a textbook.) I can only run a bit of question&answer with popup windows, so this is pretty high-level stuff to me.Javascript is different from java. Java runs on a bytecode interpreter, and needs to be compiled. Javascript runs inside a browser and needs no compile. Javascript also tends to run much slower than java, because of the browser overhead and the need to parse in real-time.
But that's not important. My opinion: Certification = Yes. Always good to have it say on your resume/website 'Certified Java programmer with X years of focused experience."

}I must have understood your problem wrong. That was too easy.An initially weak card with a powerful ability. The 2 hp isn't needed, as the card can easily pack in plenty of hp on it's own.I know, it just looks better.Would 1|2 not be better stats for the unupped at the new cost?Due to the 2x effect ability, there'd be almost no difference.
You might want to consider looking into Old Tree's balancing cost theory before randomizing the attack / cost value again. Also, you need to clarify how the deckout avoidance works in your notes.I have read his post. He assumes a fixed quantifiable value can be assigned to an ability, and tries to apply formulae to find optimal costs for cards. Two issues I have with that are that it is not the single card that determines usefulness, but that card in relation to others. An ability on it's own may be useless, but the card may be suitable for a combo that easily outmatches a brute-force dragon loaded mono deck. Also, I am not randomizing the cost and attack values, I am raising and lowering them according to the movement of the poll.
you get a television, and on that television you can only see static, then the music starts to play going dundundundundundundundundun......... then out of nowhere a face appears, you take one look at that face and know its- JAPANESE HITLER!You get cyanide and happiness.
I insert misery, and AIDS
