Welcome back to Name That Card! This week we have yet another field removed: the color. I felt that while there was one color that made the most sense for NTC#4, that there were other possible choices. So I removed that identifying feature for now so players could focus on the key identifying features of this card: its mechanics, the p/t, and the commonality.

Also, keep in mind that this creature will require two names, since it is a double-faced card.

Living Stream --> Meltwater Elemental

It begins as a small, innocuous rivulet, which swells with the waters of melting mountain ice. The increased flow deepens its bed, making it steadily more powerful with the passage of time, but it remains weaker in times when the spring floods don't flow.

wow cool.

i'm gonna steal that and go for a green version of the same idea. Because i don't think this is blue at all but i dont know anything so ignore me

Tree Chomper --> Feaster of the Forests

yours is better

Only jmgariepy, may he be our guide, has the power to judge.

Chittering Horizon // Bloodfeast Swarm

Imagining it to be a large swarm of insects that attacks a settlement every few days, then moves on to different ones.

Hm.

Tide Elemental

Greater Homarid

In both cases, I feel more like it's one creature than two. Maybe a werewolf (using the werewolf mechanic to flip instead of a schedule, I guess). I want the flavour of "turning into werewolf slowly turns mundane human stronger." Banner/Hulk reference?

Choosing a winner is becoming the part of this job I like the least. Because these are all good names, and I don't like to have to choose. But if I don't choose one, then this card will forever be known as "Name That Card #004" and that seems much worse. Lev wins this week, mostly for coming up with an idea I didn't think of, which is also feels very flavorful. I did have "could be a black creature" as one of the options in my head. Mostly because this seems like good design (to me) for a common black vampire, that gets stronger night after night, but must deal with the Sun's light during the day. Moving on to (((Name That Card #005)))!
