ART: littlemunster http://littlemunster.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d1r2zmf with consent IDEA: moomoose NOTES: This creature deals spell damage rather than physical damage, ignoring many shields.  Also as a result, however, when this creature attacks a player with a spell reflect shield, it effectively attacks its owner instead.

Very clever and interesting variation on momentum. I like it.

[OldTrees]

Following its progress. It is balanced (see the IF Mind element project for the balance discussion).

[storyteller]

crafty, annoying and combos well with high damage creatures. causes a shift in the use of shields. very nice.

I like this.

Few things:

1. If antimattered. Lets say this was an opponents and I had a reflect shield. Would this force heal me or the enemy.
2. Same but Liquid Shadow was applied?
3. Was this made so that if this was made in the game (which I hope) to convice players reflect shields are helpful?

This is very clever. Very good work. The wording might be a bit confusing however.

1) count it as a (weak) heal spell for you, essentially. my current understanding of reflect shields is that they do not discern between good/bad spells from your opponent, they just reflect everything.
2) a) you do damage to yourself b) enemy reflects the heal c) the heal heals you = net zero effect
3) that was part of it, i figured it may make other elements say "hey, we want a reflect shield too" if these guys were running around.

as for what would happen if both players had reflect shields? whatever it currently does in game when spells are cast, go with that.

I really like this idea, it makes an underpowered shield stronger without breaking the game ^^

This card would finally add worth to owning a reflective shield. Nice.

Dear Zans,

add this card to the game.

Thanks,

yeah, its a bit difficult to concisely and clearly communicate it without using an improper tone in the card text.  i had considered adding in "instead of physical damage" at the end, but it seemed kind of out of place and potentially redundant.

[Seraph]

is it an active ability?
do you want to make it one?
or maybe a passive ability of :
"Deal 4 spell damage at the end of your turn"
but 0 attack
