Lone wolf, 8r, Common
Beast
Attack: 10n
N is #rares in opponent's hand

As it stands now, this card could deal 80 damage (without Beast keyword effect). That's highly unlikely, of course, but an opponent having as many as 5 on hand isn't unheard of with careful keyword usage.

I don't feel that a Common card should be capable of so much. Currently, the most a Common can do is 16 in the most favorable situation, iirc (Goblin Saboteur). Most Commons with variable damage peak at 12.

My suggestion would be to give it a base attack value and add a multiple of N where N is the number of Rares in the opponent's hand over 2 with a cap of 3. (That is, the opponent needs to have 3, 4, or 5+ Rares before N adds damage.) Perhaps Attack: 4 + 5N or 6 + 4N. Having a damage cap is important if this is going to remain Common.

doing what DPsycho suggested could keep it as a common, but it would be quite useless unless playing against Illusion or Nature (or perhaps Dragon, if the opponent manages to gather 45 gems to play 3 consecutive dragon eggs). at any rate, i feel this should be upgraded to uncommon, or do what DPsycho suggested but give it a base attack as well as the capped multiplied attack

My suggestion above includes giving it a base attack value. I agree that it would be relatively useless without one.

ah okay, i ddt realise that, i thought u were still talking about the rares. i was a bit tipsy as well, so forgive me :P

Modified as discussed. New stats:

Beast.
Attack: 4+6n
N is #rares in opponent's hand
Max N is 3

Very bad card if N=0. Average damage if N=1. N=2 or 3 makes it a very good damage to cost ratio.
