Either reject a card with balance concern, reject a card and think up a somewhat flavoury alternative, or accept a card. We'll go one proposal at a time until we've got an agreement on abilities. After that, we'll see if any stat tweaks are needed, and then who's candidate for increased sac.

Slow down there Tamdrik. Not only have we not decided on the abilities yet, you've just added more suggestions for alternatives >_>.

Lowly Slime: I was hoping to avoid abilities that directly affected/relied on stats due to that being the next step in the process. It'd create some complications in that people might want to go back and change the % of Lowly Slime's stats that are applied to the ability (thus making us go back to step 1 which was a the main problem in getting any changes agreed upon in the many other 1 coster threads that have failed). But if others are for it then that's that.

Melrak Follower: I was hoping for something like "If other Followers in play, gains invisible attack". Just adding Invisible attack isn't terribly creative but I perfer it over masa's +1/+1 each turn.

Holy Acolyte: I was thinking that this card would get a nice-sized life increase so that its ability could be useful.

Evil Soldier: Remember that the weaker the ability, the better justification for a stat increase. If nothing else, this is a good anti lifebar and DLG 0% monster (via Shade Dragon's ability).

Gremlin: That ability is VERY powerful. You have to pay 3G just to dizzy 1 effect (Blur Effect). Also it's uncounterable dizzing as it's "into play". I can see the theme behind it though. If it wouldn't work on tokens, maybe the destroy target non-dark effect proposal masa had originally for Melrak Follower could work better for Gremlin instead.

Skeleton: Just want to remind to ignore stats for now.
