Aetherborn Wisp

**marundal** · 10-09-2014, 07:42 PM

I was thinking about Aetherborn Wisp

.

What about to say:
"When a player discards a card from their deck, Aetherborn Wisp

gains +1 base attack and +1 health."

That would be nice when opponent e.g. used Praxix

ability or e. g. an Crystal Shards

is in play ;-).
But then the rarity of the card should be probably changed, too?

What do you think?

That would completely destroy the synergy between the Wisp and Tenacious Buccaneer

, Abomination Factory

and Glimmer of Hope

.

So, I'd say no, especially when the card isn't even that good right now.

+1, obviously.

I'd prefer to use Aetherborn Wisp

as something more than a Praxix

counter. "Discarded from anywhere" is an option as some cards work that way, but that's a significant buff and I think it's fine the way it is: useful in some decks, less in others, counters some decks (that discard from hand-with cultists for example).

Too unbalanced if is from anywhere (my opinion), i guess the card should be thought from the owner's deck mechanic, and not in "if i have luck and my opponent is Praxis/Serena

this will work nice"

Serena

discards from hand - it's really only a few deck archetypes and cards that discard directly from deck and only Crsytal Shards is available to humans. Crystal Shards

is both cheap and a near certain +4/+4 buff with the proposed change. So the card would become both one-dimmensional (since humans have many ways to discard / force a discard from hand) and overpowered in that one scenario.

I would also create more possibilities :P

It would be OP with the change. I don't love Aetherborn - I see him as mostly a defense against Elementals running Antimatter

, which does discard out of hand as part of a draw mechanism. But it is expensive for what it is - and hard to make stick. You'd be better off using your own resources to maintain card advantage, or put out better threats.

Honestly this card is a threat when played with Serena

and her cutlass he gets buffed quickly!
It's really cool he's not op but he's really amazing
