Balance Thread

My initial knee-jerk when I saw it was "Wow, that's way better than EXP in a Can".  Then I said "Wait... you can't play a mod to surprise someone while they're attacking your creature."  Since that's a pretty big reason to play stat boosters to maximize their effectiveness, I figured it balanced out.

It would be like a Burn Burn which didn't cost the extra 50 life, and on top of that could potentially cantrip... it'd be the Ancestral Recall of Effect D...

Oh, maybe you misunderstood.  What I meant was that you could target any effect, but it would only do anything to it if it were a weapon.  The targeting was just to be able to trigger the cantrip.

The tanukis only see use because they're cool, not because they're powerful.  They're actually very weak.  Boomboxen, as I said earlier, is significantly better, but still debatable, IMO.

You can do the exact same thing for one less mana with Diane.

But you can't continually pump it up if your opponent can't damage it every turn.
