This might be a good way to "steal" creatures from your oppoenent too. And with the effect of it returning to the correct side after it's healed(unless soul is killed first) might be a good way to balance it too.

My first impulse would be to Nightmare it with a Fire Shield up. S'interesting.

The ATK|HP on the upped form is different in the table and card, by the way. Also: controller has two l's.

ty will fix

Sulfurlous Balloon | Sulfurlous Balloon

NAME: Sulfurlous Balloon ELEMENT: Fire COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 6|1 ABILITY: Upon death deal controller 5 damage and all of controller's creatures 3 damage. (Airborne.)	NAME: Sulfurlous Balloon ELEMENT: Fire COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 8|1 ABILITY: Upon death deal controller 5 damage and all of controller's creatures 3 damage. (Airborne.)

ART: IDEA: Dramore NOTES: This little guy should be pretty simple. He's cheap to play does fair damage but he has a hidden(sort of) cost. By that I mean the 5 damage you take when he dies.Also your creatures that are out of element(non-fire) take 3 damage too. For a Full fire deck this little guy can be a good rusher. Altho I think it would be best in some combo decks. Any way please review and leave your thoughts on it. One last note. It flys. Why you ask? Because it's like a hot air balloon full of sulfurlous gas which will flare very hot very fast. SERIES: ***Insert series name and link to series page (if any)***

from past card ideas it has always been deduced that purify on a stick is op because it completely shuts down entire decks

How would this shut down any deck? It doesn't affect the player, only creatures.

At long last someone that really reads the text!!

You're wrong about that. A 0-attack creature gets 5 attacks with adrenaline, not 4. So for and only two cards, you can get 10 quanta per element on possibly the second turn.

I thought 4 attacks was the max that could happen? So yea true it could happen on the 2nd turn but that would be a lot of luck.

Yes I understand the issue with the adrenaline. Altho I'm tring to keep to the theme and in the myth if you sacrifice this creature you would gain the power to overthrow the gods themselves. But until that time the creature is wide open to attack. In order to stop this you would have to play at least a dual deck if not a tri element.  Cards that would either speed up or prevent the destruction of this creature are .. : Adrenaline,Anubis,Quint. while there are tons of cards that can kill it and the oppoenent has upto 5 turns to do this and stop the effect. and as you said Light already has plenty of way to make so this would not be a big boost to Light but it would aid a rainbow thats Light heavy.  Anyway it's based on the myth as per the contest.

for it is quite a chaotic theme, in my mind it resembles the even of a Black Hole going haywire, while because it resembles a Black Hole in the first place, and is very anti-rainbow, as is the strongest direct enemy of rainbows with Black Hole and Amber Nymph (i.e. Dark Matter).  A bit of a large effect for such a small amount of quanta, I would suggest a little larger of a cost.

Don't forget unlike "Blackhole" This hits you too. Also to balance it. It has to be the first card played in that turn. Tho I'm also wondering what would be the best set for it's casting cost too.

Wow, 5-turn Supernova (in one-turn bump). The only problem I see to this card is adrenaline... You adren it, and you got it straight out in 2 turns. Not to mention a DragonBow with 6 of this, 6 adrenaline, some pendulums and dragons... Lots of friggin' dragons.

Yes yes all very very true. This is however based upon greek mythos tho. In greek mythos who ever can sacrifice the entrailes of the Ophiotaurus will have the power to over throw the gods. Thats why I thought the mega supernova in a killable delayed creature was so right. Also your off by 1 turn in your Adrenaline figures.  it's 3rd turnyou could use this card if it's still alive by then.

Here's how I figure it.
1st turn play Ophiotaurus and Adrenaline. delay (5) - 4(adrenaline)
2nd turn Ophiotaurus delay (1) - 4 (adrenaline)
3rd turn (power to overthrow the gods)(this assumes it's still alive of course)

Ophiotaurus | Ophiotaurus

NAME: Ophiotaurus ELEMENT: Light COST: 3 TYPE: creature ATK|HP: 0|3 ABILITY: Enter play delayed (5) turns. 0: Final Offering : Sacrifice Ophiotaurus and gain 10 quanta of each element.	NAME: Ophiotaurus ELEMENT: Light COST: 2 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0|5 ABILITY: Enter play delayed (5) turns. 0: Final Offering : Sacrifice Ophiotaurus and gain 10 quanta of each element.

ART: Dramore IDEA: Dramore NOTES: In Greek mythology, the Ophiotaurus was a creature that was part bull and part serpent. Its sole reference is found in Ovid's Fasti (3.793 ff), where the creature's entrails were said to grant the power to defeat the gods to whoever burned them. The hybrid was slain by an ally of the Titans during the Titanomachy, but the entrails were retrieved by an eagle sent by Zeus before they could be burned. The creature emerged from Chaos with Gaia and Ouranos. The Ophiotaurus was probably placed in the heavens as the combined constellations Taurus and Cetus (bull fore-parts with a sea-monster tail), alongside the lyre Lyra and the altar Ara. Ophiotaurus means cow serpent in Greek. Reference link to the above copy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiotaurus) My take on this is the Ophiotaurus is a creature of light and innocent creature. And the sacrifice of such an innocent creature could bring with it great power. The way this would translate into the game is by either giving a massive boost to either quanta or card adavantage.I chose the quanta adavantage with giving plenty of time to counter the sacrifice of such an innocent creature.
