could be a surprise
voodoo doesn't explain all the finer points I believe
This card seems abit over powered for it to only be killed by fireshield at first glance.After any effects from attacking are applied, this card is returned to your hand. I couldn't fit it on the card because of poor layout design.
Does stasis or frozen stop it's return ability?
I would think it would be better to lose the card if you don't have room in your hand at the end of the turn?
Bah.Target a card to activate the ability? I'm sure zanzarino knows how to use classes better than that.I did not claim the ability targeted the Freeze|Congeal card. (If I was careless with my wording, I apologize) I did mention that the Ability was named Freeze|Congeal because it calls the same function as Freeze|Congeal does. This means the player can reference the Freeze|Congeal spell instead of including unnecessary reminder text.
The side effects of the abilities are the same, and so two different names are not needed. They behave the same way, so they two abilities should have the same name.

As for it being easier than packing enough quanta for 3Hourglass your hand.per turn + Eternity + fodder, this requires up to 6 copies of this card, the quanta to play at least one per turn and 2-7 cards to fill up your hand...
The ability to avoid a deckout is interesting.Attack boosted.
I wouldn't drop the cost but maybe 1 more attack would do it good.
Also, might I suggest that they be African Swallow | European Swallow (or vice versa) with no difference between the two?
You still have the problem of it stopping your draw potential. Then we can talk about its incompatibility with buff cards, hourglasses, and because of the first point, fractal. Then we can compare it to quint, which for 4 quanta and an extra card, makes any creature invincible.Buffing this does kind of suck, because the buff dies in one turn. Single-turn buffs like wings are more appropriate for this card.
, bump the damage to 5?
1. When will you not have 8 cards? This stops your draw if you have 7 cards. Please change it to "...if you do not hold more than 6 cards."1. When you have multiple unladen swallows in play and you fractal that wyrm that takes your fancy.
2. Weak, 4 damage per turn for a 3

The way it is presented to the player is in the form of 4 cards Freeze|Congeal (common) and Arctic Squid|Arctic Octopus (rare)That still means there are two different names for the same ability. We agree that there are two different names, I'd like to argue that it's not a good thing.
The Rare card references the effect of the Common spell card by name.
Both freeze and congeal mean to solidify something. The means by which they do it are different.Freeze means to solidify. Congeal means to remove the liquid from an emulsion.
A shock-wave would not shatter a liquid or gelatinous body.
A shock-wave might shatter a solid body.
Arctic Octopus does follow the current standard form:That's how the ability works. The way it is presented to the player is in the form of two abilities, "freeze" and the more powerful "congeal", which means dry up. The two words don't mean nearly the same thing, yet they both trigger the shockwave secondary effect.
'When a creature has a skill that acts identical to a spell it will reference the spell.'
Arctic Octopus Congeals target creature.
-> Arctic Octopus casts the Congeal spell at the target creature.
-> Arctic Octopus casts "Freeze the target creature for 4 turns. Frozen creatures cannot attack or use skills" at the target creature
-> Arctic Octopus freezes the target creature for 4 turns. Frozen creatures cannot attack or use skills.
