I never said that it would be completely independent from Unliving, just a little more "free".
I think Unliving needs some good attacking rare card(s).
Dragon Golem is crap, imho, and Water Elemental is very strong but very situational.
The main notion that I wanted to illustrate here, is that I'd like it more if Colossus's attack was based on Quary. Like Byakko and Seiryu are for dungeon and magic respectively. The actual quary gain could stay the same as now (#Unliving/2) but I doubt it's often greater than 3.
