Monolith/Obelisk series

[OldTrees]

Here's some ideas. Will edit this post as more are thought of.

Air monolith: Attracts airborne creatures (like a bird resting in a nest.)
Perhaps creatures in the air 'rest' on the monolith for a while? It's simple enough to flesh out the Attract or Nest idea.

  or  or  ? - In the sense that it's either a very strong monolith/obelisk, earth would make sense for a strong material. time, in that it's lasted for a long time.
ability- this permanent takes 2 hits to be destroyed. aether because of 'slightly immaterial'?

Maybe treat the one like a giant prison in the shape of a monolith or obelisk, and one creature at a time would be 'captured' (somehow) and... stay there until it dies. in which case the 'capture' ability could be used again.

Monoliths have instantaneous effect triggered when played. The effect occurs and then is independent from the Monolith.
So the  ones will not work with monoliths. Could you rephrase the effect of  and  so it would work as an activated skill of an obelisk? However  and  were more reactive than proactive.

Golden Obelisk is a pretty good idea.

The    should offer +1 instead of +2, imo.

Thanks.
I agree about Fire. Changing it now.

My vision of the  obelisk is to make look like a giant sundial.

Damn, I feel useful now.

I like to contribute to this series and make it grow into something big.


My opinion is that each card should be unique and should do something different from regular spells and abilities already in game. Eg : Infect, Drain Life, Lobotomize should be discouraged.


One idea that comes to my mind,

  Ice Monolith, Cost : 1 
Melt : Each turn  is produced. Lasts 3 turns.


It gives 9  within 3 turns for 1|0  .

What do you think ? More idea will be coming if i get brainstorms.

Your help is welcome.

When you come up with replacements for left creative effects please let us know. If the previous idea is already in the forge or above we can just send the new idea to the crucible. Otherwise we can replace the effect and resubmit for the crucible.

IHMO: The come into play effect of a monolith should be faster than 3 turns.
Melt seems interesting but also feels like a shortcut. The Talismans cover that effect better.

 Another idea,


  Fire Obelisk, Cost : 2 | 1
Each turn  is generated. Aflame : Generates extra each turn. Cumulative.


When the ability is used it increases it's  production by 1 by paying 1 for ability each turn. The production builds up like poison damage from arsenic.

Turns	Cost	Quanta Generation	Total Quanta Produced
1	2 (summon)	1	1
2	1 (ability)	1 + 1	2
3	1 (ability)	1 + 2	3
4	1 (ability)	1 + 3	4
5	1 (ability)	1 + 4	5
6	1 (ability)	1 + 5	6

It would work good with Fahrenheit and Fire Lances. Would it be a good obelisk for fire ? Is it balanced ?

Discuss.

Ok. What about making it into Ice Obelisk then ?

  Ice Obelisk, Cost : 2 | 1 
Melt : Generates    each turn. Lasts 4 turns.

The unupped one can produce enough quanta to summon unupped dragon while upped can produce for summoning an upped dragon on their own.

I think it is good to power Octopuses, Nymph Queen and Ice Lances.

 And what do you mean by the Talismans ?

[OldTrees]

Talismans were Pillars with non 0 casting costs, accelerated quanta production and 3 turn lives.
check them out in the Air Crucible/Permanent Forge

Nice idea for a Red Obelisk. I am unsure if the existence of a casting cost is enough to weaken the effect. However it sounds good enough to let the Smithy decide. [if someone will second it then it will be added]

Ice Obelisk won't work because all Obelisks produce 1 quanta like pillars while it does not.

Aether Monolith/Obelisk (Wichever you think fits it best)

Shock: Paralyze (Delay) target creature for 1 turn per Spark in field. Minimum 1 turn.

Makes Spark not an Instant-use creature, and i think it fits aether nicely. also creates a small synergy with life-buffing elements, considering that with a few more you can have ALMOST Delay on a stick.

The abilities for the Monoliths/Obelisks should be more versatile than a combo with a single creature.

For my part I really apreciated the help from nick V and an alien !
Both have very good idea
For the fire I think it is very good ! I reall like it !
The ice is a very smart idea i like this one more than the other for water.
Finally the aether seems very good and better than the lobo ! I will make the card quickly

Light Monolith
Each turn  is generated. When Light Monolith comes into play gain 3  . (Sort of like the sun rising).

Gravity Obelisk
Each turn  is generated.  : Target creature loses 3 HP. 3 random creatures gain +0 | +1.
