Yep :) even though you could post them one by one as well (maybe the curator would approve some and reject some others), who knows? :)
It may be better to move one by one to crucible... I mean, it's too difficult that the series will get too high as a whole, but by themselves, who knows, I'm already imagining some avatars in the game :D
Let's also consider that if Zanz considers adding some of them to the real game, it'd be unlikely for some elements to miss their avatar while other ones have it :P

Good point. See I'm totally new to this, so I don't know the logistics  :P
Thanks for the tips. I'll submit them one by one.

Good luck, I'm sure most avatars will pass the check.

for the gravity ones, you should say, draws 1 additional card, cos otherwise its useless for fgs and halfbloods

I really like the water and holy avatar.

What I don't like is the fact that the unupped versions of Fire, Gravity and Aether are so different from their corresponding upgraded versions. They just get a totally different use wich is, in my opinion, not what upgrading a card should do.

Also, what does the earth avatar do? Except just sit there on the field as cannon fodder.

Nonetheless, very nice job, but I think it needs some work.

Upgrading cards sometimes change 360° what a card do (look at Puffer Fish), and some people love when that happens.
Earth avatar+Rage Potion or Acceleration rulez (not to mention Earth has synergies with both Gravity and Fire)

Personally, I do not believe in designing cards to play against halfblood or FG. The main purpose of this game is for "real people" to play within its "real rules." Halfblood and FG are "exceptions." They are playing outside of the rules. So, it does not make sense to buff up cards for them. That'd ruin the game.

I see that Krathos already answered (thank you), but I also wanted to make sure I respond to your post. I answered your question about earth avatar in the earth avatar thread (where I saw another post you made regarding your question).

In terms of upgrading, I think it's good to have cards that transform. It expands the horizon of this game. For example, we have shards. A useless rock turns into something powerful.

Another point is that those creatures are "avatars." So, their abilities are more defined by their elements rather than as a creature. I can see how a specific creature or an animal would have a relatively consistent skill in real life. However, avatars are representations of elements. So, it makes sense for them to possess skills that reflect elemental properties.

For example, for gravity, gravity is a force that "pulls" (although physics would say that this is an incorrect word to use). Just as in Newton's apple, it's why things "drop" to the ground. That's why it's skills, gravitation & reverse gravitation, "drop" creature's attack or HP. If you understand the skills this way, you will see that both unupped and upped skills are more "similar" than "different."

Hi, everyone.

I just added a story to my avatars called "Elemental Avatar Legend," which can be found on the front page. The story explains where the avatars came from and why they exist. Just thought it'd be more entertaining. I hope you like it. :)

Be sure to post here when they get moved to crucible.


I still think there should be an avatar generator.


One way I though to do it is to have a spell:
Target a creature on your side of an element you don't currently have an avatar for. The creature becomes that avatar.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. Speak the truth even when your voice falters.
