"Because it feels like a 50% probability, nerf it."

Hm, I'm afraid I'm going to disagree here, and not just because a certain thread has not been read...

50% is too high.
It feels like 50%.
It is not 50%.
It should not be nerfed.

The percentage is actually extremely low, and I never use this card because of it.  Every once in awhile I forget this and put it into a deck, and then watch as a horde of creatures kick my ass without ever skeletonizing.

The percentage is somehow related to the hp of the attacking creature, but I forget exactly how; i.e. a phoenix is more likely to become a skeleton than a massive dragon.

Yeah. 50%? no. just no. Hate to be blunt, but that is an extreme exaggeration, and if you are using Lava Golems and other low HP creatures, there's your problem.

That's where your problem is. Thhe chance to turn creatures into skeletons is 50%/HP. Your creatures have 1 HP, so they have 50% chance to die to it. if they had 2Hp, it'd be 25%, ect.
Solutions : use another deck or packk deflagration.

My goodness. Seriously? Seriously? I wouldn't be surprised if you started yelling how dusk shield should be nerfed, and so should pests because they drain whatever quanta you need. Skull shield has already been suggested for nerf many times, and it's only 50% when you're using 1hp creatures.

Creatures in a shrieker rush have only 17% chance to shrivel to skeletons. No way.

2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

why this dont write the formula on this card,
i think every player want to know if there is just a "small chance" or a function who determinate the meaning of "small chance".

just write it down directly: The probability is a function of the attacking creature: P(hp) = 0,5 / hp, or just give a hint that there is a formula and where to find
