Having trouble with the name. I want to convey the idea that someone is so troubled by a problem that it's taking a toll on their life.
Wow. 3-for-1 card disadvantage? I remember Acceptable Losses was really, really bad and that was just 2-for-1. I think this should be at least -5/-5 -- or preferably, I think Algebra needs something of a redesign to not be such painful disadvantage.
I know you can give up a 3-drop and a 0/1 token, but even that is pretty painful and seems very unlikely to be worth an extra -1/-1.
I was worried -4/-4 might be too good removal at common as well as raising the cost higher than what I wanted.
Fatal Depression? Unresolved Issues?
Algebra is a really complex keyword. Actually if all you do is reveal the cards/spot the permanents without any looting/drawing you got plenty going on.
The reminder text alone might be eight lines. Is it longer than the suspend reminder text?
Both of those are great names. I'm leaning towards Fatal Depression on this as it feels more in-line with a creature possibly dying. Thank you!
