Been done?
How balanced?
I've thrown this name around a few times, I'd like to use it for some earth card one of these days.

Sound cool! I don't think anything like this has been done before. I'm also pretty sure the cost is balanced. I assume the upped is just cheaper?

Actually, I'm not sure what to do with the upped. Reducing cost or maybe up-ing the buff to +0/+5.

Upping the buff sounds cool. Not sure if it then needs a cost increase though. Call in the IG!

Sounds like gather, still doesn't really buff tunneling that much, costs too much, and seems just like armor.

Maybe is costs too much, but it'd be great in a graboid/shrieker rush. Your grabiods only cost 2 :earth, and your shriekers have more defence.

What's "gather" and what modifications would you make and why?

Gather was a card idea that made a creature give 1 quanta of their own element each turn. You're the card designer who thinks of ideas. We're only here to give feedback. I'd generally advise against going on such a niche subject.

Well, I love to hear other people's takes on ideas, and I always try to give my own. I also try to avoid getting into the deep details of the game structure when I can, such as exact quanta costs and probability. I always thought a community was a group of people working together. So those things which I estimated wrong or made to OP can be corrected. I find "closed door policies" hinder idea development and progress.

Also, based on what I saw, this is nothing like gather.
