0-Hp-ally

[Gyrops]

Hey guys,

it's me again.

I don't know how many of you -or even anyone- knows the card game "Elements" on kongregate.com. There you have an interesting card called "Spark" which has 3 attack but 0 life. Whenever you play it, it stays on the field for 1 turn and then dies after having hit the opponent (After each turn the monsters auto-attack, so basically it dies after the first attack/turn). Plus, it's free. You don't have to spend your resources for it.

My idea would be a similiar ally in Shadow Era. It would have just a handful attack, maybe 2-4 and it lives for just the turn he was casted, so he shouldn't cost too much. Plus, they would be blocked by armors. Maybe 1cc --> 2 attack. 2cc --> 3 attack.

"Why playing an ally who dies so fast?"
Because it triggers effects.

Ally dead --> Ill-Gotten Gains triggers
Ally dead --> Ogloth's ability triggers
Ally dead --> Enemy's Rampage triggers
Ally dead --> Wrath of the Forest triggers
Ally dead --> Mournblade gets attack
Dead ally --> Soul Reaper gives more HP
It-dies-anyway ally --> Attack Black Garb

And so on...

As you can see, these cards give you a cheap dead ally in your graveyard, trigger ally-dies effects and can be used to take all the damage your fatties would take otherwise, for example killing Deathbone.

As you can see, these are just rough ideas that rushed through my mind.

And as always, tell me what you think.

I think the card would benefit my opponent more than it would me...

Well, we have some weenies already like Kris and the creature whose name should not be taken in vain.

So maybe card like this:

Mad goblin

0 cc 2/1 shadow ally.

Haste. At the end of your turn destroy Mad goblin.

Hold it this way, stupid! Oh...

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant.
A cheap one-way ally.

At the end of turn it should blow up a random ally of the owner, if there is one. That would be extremely cool.

One, Two... Umm, Four? BOOM!

over-powered mechanic/allies, unless if added "Whenever a 0cc ally is summoned, ask your enemy. Should the enemy have Fire Snake in hand, the ally you summoned is destroyed immediately."

----------

A 0cc ally is okay if they treated as a 0/1 token (like those in Yu-Gi-Oh!), or protector as in SE.
But to make this ally balanced, it should be made as a neutral ally.

0 cc 0/1 Neutral Ally.
This ally has protector.
