Personally I'd add Horror or Nightmare to the typeline, but still keep the Spawn subtype. It is certainly a good card, but not over powered in any way. I like it. Seems fun. Could be a good Delirium, Threshold, and Madness enabler, but they aren't particularly hard to enable as it is.void_nothing wrote: ↑4 years agoNeat!
Spawn alone (and not "Eldrazi Spawn") doesn't have a heck of a lot of meaning - I had to check if Elder Spawn was in fact an Elder or a Spawn, and besides that there's Spawning Pit and that's all. What Elder Spawn appears to be is a fairly transparent ripoff of Lovecraft's Elder Things, which is a little random but Cosmic Horror was also in Legends and a lot of the set's flavor and design was slapdash anyway, mostly because it was originally made as samizdat by a D&D group in a mountain resort.
With that digression out of the way, I like the triggered ability working as a double drawback for you and your opponents in convergent ways. If not for this exercise you were doing, I'm sure it'd be a Horror on the typeline.
