There's already Morning Glory dealing the same amount of damage, but it's indestructible in the first place.. As far as weapons go, Fahrenheit deals more damage than this by far, and it could easily be "enchanted". Why would you want it to turn into a creature? And why would someone target it knowing it had this effect..?

The only way I see this card as useful would be if the word "destroyed" included being replaced with another weapon, in which case, you could spam these and Cremate them to play the rest. Otherwise.. I don't see why this card is winning the Mash-Up contest. Not that my card is any better, but this one just seems a little pointless.

Hah, I'm aware. Just thought I'd stick to the name it's referred to in Elements since we're on an Elements forum. (;

Don't worry though, it was a very nice idea, with hard data to back it up. If you do come up with anything better than Antidote|Antibiotic, let me know and I'll be sure to change it.

I love the mechanics of this card, and it's very well balanced. Otyughs could eat poisonous creatures with this? Also interesting that unupped is a spell, but upped is a permanent. I guess SoG is like that, but unupped shard does nothing.

The name of the upped version doesn't seem to fit though. Antibiotics kill biotic things, such as bacteria. Poison isn't caused by bacteria, but by toxic chemicals. It's different from disease. But I guess viruses aren't affected by antibiotics, nor are they poisonous, yet they still cause poison. So it's not a big deal.

My brother said the same thing, actually. I named the upped version of the card "Antibiotic" because antibiotics are generally mass-produced, fitting the re-usable effect of the card. Antidotes, as far as I'm concerned, aren't.

I also have some issues with the naming, maybe it could be changed to Antivenom | Antidote.
Antidotes are pretty simple compounds, so those are in fact generally mass-produced. Some (for example EDTA) even in much larger quantities than antibiotics. Keeping your original, well thought, reasoning in mind, name Antivenom would make sense. Antivenom is a biological product (antibody to be exact), that can be used to treat envenomation. Those antivenom molecules (as all antibodies) are much harder to produce than most other medicines.

I'm inclined to believe someone who sets their avatar to a Mutation symbol. The only problem I have with the names you listed is that it seems... out of order. Not by definition, but by the way they sound. It would be expected for an upgraded card to sound more powerful or capable, unless it were to be a downgraded version of the unupgraded (eg. Minor Phoenix or Microabomination). Antivenom has a very harsh sound to it, making it sound even more powerful than the simple Antidote.

I understand your reasons and the definitions work well; it's just that the words seem out of order. Thank you for the feedback.

@9270984: Pretty sure card discussion should be kept to the card thread itself. The poison is to prevent OP; it's not upgraded yet.
@Kamietsu: Oh wow, I need to read better. Skipped over that line. My bad~

I really hate to be the one to point this out, but #4's cards Squall and Tempest don't have the letters K, X, Y, or Z in them.

Why wouldn't you want upgraded cards without the cost of 1500E!?
It properly "mashes-up" the cards in Elements in one unique power!
It's **SHINY**. How could you possibly resist that?!

Yes, it is.

I love the synergy between this card and Liquid Shadow. I'd finally be able to create a deck that uses both of my favorite elements.

Heh, not only that, but you can protect yourself against Spine Carapaces. (;
Also, you scared me for a second. I thought I'd double posted without realizing it!

This is fine - you are posting on your own card idea in a non-spamming way, so it's okay. ^^;

The bottle reminds me of an Alchemy spell, even though it's not... >_<

Oh okay. Thanks for the info. (:

&.. Alchemy from what? FMA? or is Alchemy a game? I'm a bit lost here..
