I have no problems with that, if you're happy with it.

I actually like the effect. It kinda gets the deck moving that much faster.

Although, in Shmod: Apocalypse, Mercury Dragon has already appeared with its old effect, and changing it now wouldn't make sense. So although this is the new real card, the old one appears there. I'll find a new place for the old effect template. In a non-Dragon.

As an Apocalypse-only card, sure.

And as for the new effect, I'll still work it in. Just under a new name. But for now, I'll say no more.

Excellent.

And guess who I've chosen to template the old effect to?

As long as it's not going to be a real card, I don't really care.

Well, I'm certainly toning the effect down a bit. The old one was kinda broken. But a watered-down version of the effect should be fine.

I assume you'll be switching the Mana - it doesn't seem to say 'MetaDragon and Fire' to me.

I will. It's an Earth creature, so that's in there instead of FIRE. And the MetaDragon part... well, we never found Lyaerna a Category.

Wait, but if it IS Earth, then it will always have Immunity to Spells. 'Cuz you can't play it without Earth mana.

Son of a...

Okay, let's try that again, shall we? Different Category to trigger Immunity... WATER. Water Mana + Spell Immunity.

Now, about the Category thing... I'm trying to think of a Category to work with this guy. Not Desert - he looks more Anaconda-ish. Any thoughts?

How 'bout no category, as before. Just use two different kinds of Mana - it'll be a tricky deck, but gives you three types to work with in that Starter deck.

I think I know.

(Level Three) Lyaerna - Lord of Serpents (Earth)
Category: N/A
Effect: If you control a STORM Mana, this card gains 700 STK. If you control a WATER Mana, it gains Immunity to Spells.
STK/ 3000
GRD/ 3000

Sound good?

Not really. Three kinds of Mana or not, that's still a Level 3 that breaks the boundaries of Level Three's AND has Spell Immunity.

Alright then.

I'll fix the original post for new Mercury, and put Lyaerna in its place.
