Kirin https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=41503.msg514328#msg514328

For those who don't know, a Kirin is a mythical half-horse half-dragon creature. I personally love it. That's why I came up with a card idea for it.

NAME:
Kirin
ELEMENT:
:life
COST:
4 :life
TYPE:
Creature
ATK|HP:
N/N
TEXT:
N is the amount of differently named creatures on the field.
NAME:
Winged Kirin
ELEMENT:
:life
COST:
6 :life
TYPE:
Creature
ATK|HP:
N/N
TEXT:
N is the amount of differently named creatures, Dive:1 :life


Why Life? Because I like it, and I think it's underrated/underpowered. Also, I'm very well aware that this card won't make it past this point, if it is even noticed. If you have your own ideas/criticism, please add, but if you just want to troll or tell me this sucks, get out.

Edit: For those who do have knowledge of Kirin, I know that it has a different name, but I prefer the Japanese version, hence why I used it.

Edit: I guess I should make it's effect more clear than the condensed info; It's power and health are the same as the amount of creatures that have different names. For example, if you have a Kirin, Horned Frog, and Cockatrice, and your opponent has a Steam Machine, two Fire Spirits, three Blue Crawlers, and an Ash Eater, the Kirin would have 7/7. The extra Fire Spirit and Blue Crawlers don't count towards it's power, because they share a name with other creatures on the field. This effect includes itself, meaning it is a 1/1 when it's alone. Also, if it's your only thing against a swarm of Scarabs or an Otyugh, you might as well say goodbye to it, because it would be a 2/2 (3/3 if the Scarabs use a Pharaoh), weak enough for them to devour.

Why would the unupped one be better than cockatrice? It would only be useful in SN rushes.

In my eyes, it's sort of a hit or miss thing. It can be stronger than the opponent (Rainbow decks that rely on creatures) or weaker (Scarab rush decks), making it somewhat unreliable without you playing a lot of different creatures. Rainbow decks tend to stay away from creatures that cost above 2 quanta, due to the unreliability of getting that much of one quanta, save for having a mark of that element.

Also note that this card is in a very early stage, meaning that a lot of the things already here are subject to change.

Then you would have tones of week, cheap creatures to have few of this ones.

You make me think of Famous Five...

Anyways, I'm pretty sure there has been a card that uses different creatures somehow (it had a modified version of the foil chimera art, if this helps anyone) but nothing like this. I kinda like it, though the wording is a bit iffy.

I doubt its the same Kirin but this comes to mind from monster hunter I own none of this it is from a wiki
If I have something to say I'll keep it to my self then let it out at the worst possible moment and then I will walk away laughing

Did you miss the part where I said, "If you're just going to tell me it sucks, then get out"?

Also,
tones of week/have few of this ones.

Call me a grammar nazi, but I don't think you quite know what you're talking about.
