Stardust Descender

[Gondorian]

Stardust Descender - 1cc Elemental Ally - 0claw/4HP
Steadfast. Stardust Descender has +1 attack for each Aldmor ally you control.

(Lore note: The Elementals were originally Aldmor before they ascended centuries ago.)

Neat! So is this an Elemental that has descended back to the Aldmor, or hasn't fully ascended? I guess this also explains why Antimatter mentions Aldmor in the flavor text.

It has come back to its original home and people and is now benefitting from some cool upgrades by the looks of things. But have the Aldmors present chosen to enhance it themselves or are they acting due to some other controlling force ...?

Thinking about this card a bit; any reason it couldn't also be an Aldmor and have its effect changed to have +1 for each other Aldmor? That way it at least benefits from multiple copies of itself. Right now seems like such a specific card that only really works in one deck that I don't think that such a buff would be too strong.

If it was an aldmor ally you would be able to summon on T4 four 4/4 allies (oraz even stronger if there are any other aldmors on the board) for a total cost of 4cc. It would be overwhelming for most of decks.

You can do that right now with Sparks though.

Well, they'd only be 3/4 in that scenario (because each copy won't count for itself), but yes, that might be a bit too much. You can do that with Sparks too like Veles said (for actual 4/4s), but this can gain for other Aldmors too, so is potentially stronger than the Sparks. Of course it all depends on if you have 4 in hand on T4.

I'm just trying to think of ways to make this work at least somewhat outside of pure Aldmor decks. As of right now, this card is basically useless unless you're running mainly Aldmors. Making it an Aldmor itself would help, but maybe a bit too much.

It has claw attack so you can play Relentless Savagary on 2 to make it into 2/4. It is very cheap so you can play Exaltation on it for total of 6cc to make it 4/8 with steadfast. It prob fits more aggro Elementalis deck than an Aldmor deck thanks to its stats and steadfast.

^ True, didn't think of that.

1cc cost ally with 4 health and steadfast seems overpowered, but I haven't been in the group testing it...any feedback from those who have played with it?
