Schrödinger's Cat | Schrödinger's Cat

hahaha. nice idea. i approve it, simply because its physics related^^

reminds me of this:

but seriously, it doesnt seem too powerful. doesnt have too much hp, and also the ability cost is allright. i like it.

PS: the ability should really read:  observe: schrödingers cat is either dead or alive.

dont forget to mention, that you can only have two unupped cats at the same time in play and that you can only use the ability of one cat per round, because if one is dead, the other has to be alive

the upgraded version doesnt have these limitations of course^^


this gives me ideas XD



(just to clarify, this is a joke )

A well thought out card. Love the name, and the ability. Hope to see it move on soon!

Do the effects of dying include a creature on you field actually dying? One might argue that the effect of being killed is dying.

schödinger's cat is an imaginary experiment, proposed by erwin schrödinger, to explain the the strange behavior of quantum particles, by applying their laws to macroskopic objects (or in this case - a cat).

the short version: imagine a cat an i box. you dont know if its dead or alive. if it would behave like, for example an electron or photon, it is concidered both - dead and alive - at the same time, until you open the box (observe the cat). the act of observing causes the cat to take on one of the two states.

I like the card concept.

Just to clarify:  this only would trigger things like scavenger/bone wall/graveyard and not things like "devour" where creatures gain stats through killing other creatures, right?

Devour is a skill that is activated, not triggered, so naturally this card's ability couldn't trigger it. And if Schrödinger's Cat gets devoured it is just like any other creature getting devoured.

It can turn into a malignant cell without really dying?

Dunno what will happen with a malignant cell, but since that comes with 2 poison, and this cat is weak, it won't be exploitable easily.

If afflicted with Aflatoxin it also acts exactly like any other creature afflicted with it. If Schrödinger's Cat uses its ability while afflicted with Aflatoxin it doesn't create a Malignant Cell.

Make the card real just because its from Big Bang Theory

it was actually a real experiment by (you guessed it)Schrödinger

It's a thought experiment, so it hasn't actually been performed for real. There is also no need to perform it as we wouldn't learn anything from that ... not to mention the moral issues here.

I love the physics in this, I actually made a thread about the experiment... kind of as a joke (completely as a joke)

But the card alone will create enormous possibilities for / . I'm thinking 6x boneyard 6x schrodingers cat, a couple fallen druids and some SoR and you've got yourself a deck.

Nice card. Not much else to say. Suggest a minor nerf though--cannot be targetted with quintessence/immortalizing effects, since that would contradict its life and death ability.

[Daneman]

great card! Would be very fun to play with! fractal this to create massive bonewall?

[shinyarceus4]

The real Schrödinger's Cat was based on that thought experiment. you did a good job of reminding us of it!
