So you’re saying it might be too powerful… so make it more powerful?

Wanted to comment on two parts here.
For Yggdras disciple it does not have much at all to actually do with tokens. It becomes a token yes, but thats a byproduct of its effect and is not core to its design. Its core design is> thing gets stunned, Disciple becomes big scary monster, when big scary monster when things get stunned it heals.
Anything else like token synergy is just a byproduct of it transforming.
As far as the Pyramids go, if you want to maintain the same style of design, but keep it strong, have the Obelysk make Wind Dervishes lose Ephemeral. It accomplishes the same overall thing you were looking to do, but still lets little rush dudes be little rush dudes. And helps to create dramatic tension because if the Obelysk dies/gets dispelled, their Ephemeral will return and 1000 units may cry out in unison as they don’t feel so good and vanish.

I think I fixed Yggdra (now the effects are more connected):
And as for the Pyramid, I’m not sure what you are referring to…

How about some more (probably broken) Vet cards?
Sandstorm Pyramid (1)
Legendary Vetruvian Structure [0/3]
-Minions you summon nearby this gain Ephemeral and Rush.
Mirage Charm (2)
Epic Vetruvian Artifact
-Your minions cost 2 less to summon and gain “This disappears when attacked” when summoned from your action bar.
Windswept Fortress (8)
Legendary Vetruvian Structure [0/20]
-Summon Dervish
-Summon Dervish
-Summon Dervish
-Summon Dervish
-Summon Dervish
-Summon Dervish
-Summon Dervish
-Summon Dervish
-Whenever a friendly dervish moves, this echos that minion’s movement (if possible).
NOTE: Yes, it had to be written like that.

Very interesting mechanic. This is a better version of what I was trying to do with my Iron Pyramid.

This seems too strong for 4 mana if the minion is allowed to be on spaces near shadow creep. I think you can literally have just two creep tiles on either sides of the board and this minion makes things a slog. Abyssian has enough early game removal along with creep generation to make this minion on curve ridiculous.
I’m okay with the flying and frenzy but I think the mana cost should either be changed to 5 or the minion can only move on creep tiles, not near. You should also specify in the text that it must be summoned on a creep tile.
Some other cool suggestions for the card would be to make it be able to land on ALL creep tiles for fun mirrors or to give it this: Opening Gambit: make a shadow creep tile where this minion is summoned. This would be for more creep generation but also to get rid of its restriction of having to be summoned on a creep tile.
Overall, the minion just needs a bit of tweaking but the concept is good.

It doesn’t. Good points, though. I’ll make it ON shadowcreep.

Well I see you have played your fair share of yugioh. The amount of words here is already more than I think the game can handle and I as well am also confused on how this card works.
I assume it is saying that the enemy gets an extra mana crystal (temporarily) but their minions also get a debuff. For minions that have 3< health, do they die?
Pretending this is what the card says, I think you have a somewhat interesting concept here which leans best towards sabotage vet. By debuffing their minions, you can follow up next turn with a grapnel or even use it as a get out of jail card against an overwhelming board possibly even killing the board if they have a low HP minions.
The concept is interesting but I think it is much too slow at 5 mana. I can’t suggest an accurate mana cost but think about in what situations you would want to use this card and go from there.

I always enjoy seeing Songhai stuff, especially minions. I would say the thing that hits me most about this card is that it is a worst blast. If this card had blast, it would be able to hit multiple minions without being blocked. In addition, this minion cannot hit the enemy general.
Overall, I think there is little reason to run this minion when you have cards with higher stats and less movement restrictions like Hailstone Golem. Being able to teleport in straight lines doesn’t make the not moving restriction worth it and even if it could move freely (which it kinda can with songhai movement spells), this still feels like a vanilla 3/6 that can move fancy and otherwise no immediate impact on the board.

I think “Whenever a friendly minion or general passes through this” could maybe be a keyword. It could be on other structures, like an armory that gives +1 attack or something. Maybe it could be on non structures, too. I might be back with more ideas for it.

That’s awfully similar to my
Yes, I think this should definitely be a keyword, on structures and minions.

Really cool idea, but this has nothing to do with movement (just positioning).

YES! I just realized I can submit this for movement too:
Should I? Let’s vote.

I kinda intended for the effect to mimic the lore of Ziros vs. Rasha, where Rasha is tricked into leading his army into the desert.
The squares around your minions act as mana tiles but only for that turn and any minion with 3< health would die. I was mainly comparing this to Star’s Fury which pretty much guarantees at least 2 dmg to all minions. My only worry is that the potential burst the opponent gains completely trumps the benefit of the following -2/-2. Would making it a -3/-3 bring it more into line?
The mana crystals served as the “bait” and counterbalance to the big AOE that follows. The wordiness was completely unintentional. Any ideas on how to shorten it?
And yes I have played my fair share of yugioh. Nice catch

Maybe I’m just an idiot, but doesn’t this structure pretty much destroy burn/aggro?
I could see it being semi-bad because it’s terrible for tempo, but seriously, I’m getting burned to death, I plant this structure, walk through it on the same turn, and get my 20+ health back, while they just ran out of steam getting me to single digits?
