does this card only affect on the players with more than 3 non-undead cards in their hands? if so, if i only have 3 or less non-undead card in my hand and i play Death Wave does this card wont affect me? or how does this card really works? and i noticed that the maximum damage is only 16.

No, its maximum damage is, in fact, twenty. Rather than counting the number of non-undead cards, I find it's easier to calculate if you just count the undead and subtract. 20-4N where N is the number of undead in each player's hand. If you played it at a time where it only did 16 damage, then your opponent must have had one unnoticed undead in his or her hand. Of course, since it affects you as well, you want to make sure you have five or more undead cards in your hand at the time of use to take no damage yourself.

I wanted to clarify that I don't feel that any change to the description is necessary.

ah ok. thanks for the clarification ^^. I'm only confused about the "above 3" hehe. And I thought the maximum damage can reach up to 32 if the enemy doesnt have a single undead card.

Does anyone else think this card is way too powerful? You can do damage three times its cost.

It's very situational and is likely to harm the one playing the card. Since it itself is not Undead and the opponent has means of mitigating its damage beyond direct absorption (choosing not to play undead cards in hand), I feel it's on par with similar cards.

"Each player suffers 4 damage for each non-Undead card in his or her hand above 3"

The appearance of such a question means the text is ambiguous. 2 possible meanings by reading the text alone:
(A) **16 damages** if I have 4 non-undead. None if 3 or below
(B) **4 damages** if I have 4 non-undead. None if 3 or below

Suggestion

(A) Formula Taste:
=======================
Each player suffers a damage of:
4*(N-3) (min 0)
where N is #non-Undead cards in his or her hand.
=======================

(B) Friendly Text Taste:
=======================
Each player suffers 4 damage for each non-Undead card in his or her hand. However first 3 non-Undead cards aren't counted.

OR

Each player suffers 4 damage for each non-Undead card in his or her hand. However damage of first 3 non-Undead cards are waived.
=======================

No more ambiguity, isn't it?
