Lava | Lava Core

Lava | Lava Core

the idea is a buff for fire. since they generaly have very weak sustain and HP to give them a little something something. Similiar to the eclipse in darkness.

Side Notes/Nerfs/Buffs:
- as is I think it's relatively fine
- possible quanta change in the future


Version I
- right now this is thought of as a permanent, but could change possibly in the future.

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Lava ELEMENT: Fire COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Fire creatures get +1/+1, other cratures get -1/-1	NAME: Lava Core ELEMENT: Fire COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Fire creatures get +1/+2, other cratures get -1/-1

ART: IDEA: NOTES: SERIES:

Version II
- after a few excelent suggestions by the community I decided to change the card up a bit.

Spoiler for Hidden:

NAME: Lava ELEMENT: Fire COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Fire and earth creatures get +1/+1.  Other creatures get 0/-1.	NAME: Lava Core ELEMENT: Fire COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Fire and earth creatures get +1/+2.  Other creatures get 0/-1.

There's a slight typo that needs fixing "cratures".

This might be a bit too much elemental love / hate. Comparing this to nightfall, you're only buffing 1 elements, not 2, and you're dealing damage to all the rest. Then again, comparing this to flooding which kills all non-water creatures (except 5) but doesn't buff water. So I'd say this is okay in that respect.

The effect is maybe a it vanilla though. I don't know what you could do to spice it up, if you wanted to. Maybe it's just me.

I also think I've seen the lava idea done before (maybe by odin...) but I can't remember what that one was like.

Overall, a very solid idea

As lava is essentially very hot (molten) stone, it could also buff  creatures. Thus it would have a dual buff, like Nightfall, and would reinforce the existing synergy (Lava Golem)

On the damage side, perhaps it should be only 0|-1, because it does hurt other creatures, but should not limit them

Nice guys, very valid points. I'll be sure to get more into it and post more updates on all my card ideas. Thank you very much see you around guys!
