I think OldTree's idea for remaking Golden Obelisk from "discard/draw" to "delay target for 1 turn" is really good. Both discarding a card and paying
for drawing a card does'nt seem right where as delay idea is simple,good and suits time very well.
If ralouf agrees i think Golden Obelisk could be remaked.
The Aether Obelisk idea is also a good one in my opinion. But i think there is a small tweak but it is also very risky so i am spoilering it.
Turquoise Obelisk
Each turn
is generated.
Phase Shift : Inverts target creatures immortal status for 1 turn.
If a creature is immortal it will become mortal and if it mortal becomes immortal for 1 turn. Note that it can do the same thing that the current Turquoise Obelisk can do but can also be gamebreakingly strong and might open up huge number of strategies like Buffing/CCing immortal creatures or Fractal Graboids/Immortals etc. But just as a concept it seems cool. Do you think it is balanced or should it be a untouched concept ?The current one is good enough. But just pointed out a possiblity for a tweak.
I think OldTrees got a little mistaken during the conversations. If not, then i must be mistaken.
The Aether idea is changed in the OP.
I think ralouf was commenting on the Dimensional Monolith (Conjure) and not the Aether Obelisk (1 turn Phase) when he told he approved the aether idea.
He also approved the Earth Monolith (Burrow) along with it.
Here,
Ok agree for the earth and the aether !
