For Challenge # 060. We have a bunch of ladies in fine dress with bows. They probably wouldn't engage in a real fight, but I could imagine them taking one shot in a fight, then leaving so the grunts can do their work.
I seem to have a preponderance of creatures returning to the hand as of late. Maybe it's a good thing I don't work for Wizards... I'd probably stick you with too many choices of which spell to cast every turn.
Also, normally, I wouldn't call this ability a common, since it's a fiddly activation that muddles combat... but it only does it so much so. They won't be attacking or blocking, and the ability will automatically go off at a specific time, so players should just be able to factor this in without too much hassle. It doesn't even combo with Seeker of Skybreak. I think we can get away with one of these cards per set.
I'm also at a bit of a loss for casting cost. These girls get great in multiples... but can become a liability if the opponent decides to swing with a single saproling token to force a pack of ladies back in your hand. Very annoying if your opponent has a Drudge Skeleton or similar. I don't know. Maybe it costs
? Maybe it's a 0/2? Hmm.
0/4 sounds a bit big for something that could potentially shut down an aggressive deck if it can't burn it out. I think 1/2 might be fine - having power >0 isn't completely implausible given they do have weapons. (And it'll be hard for that 1 power to matter.)
1/2 it is. It's nice to see the occasional cheap creature not be wiped off the board due to Pyroclasm, but I agree. This card needs a lot of answers for it to be fair.
