For those who don't know Flanking is whenever this creature is blocked by a creature without Flanking, the blocking creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.
@Jyagaimasu Yeah, you're right I over exaggerated. But the point stands that there shouldn't be too many cards with the equivalent effect of Lightning Helix.
Even though this breaks the rules about being a creature, everyone else has made non creatures and it is kinda cool even if it can't be counted as an entry because it isn't a creature. Just pretend there is a creature under it.
@Corwinn Quick! Think about anything but the poof like potatoes! OH NO!!! I mentioned the poof!A Argh I did it again!! Phew, no poof mentioned in that sentence. Wait WAT! Why ((((((
Anyway, back on topic away from the dreaded poof: So @Swegboss12, is it alright to be entered into the contest if it isn't a creature? Is there going to be a loss of marks for non creatures or anything??
@Modnation, but Lightning Phoenix is worse than Lightning Helix, as it can be countered by a certain card called Essence Backlash, real card. With 2 goblin electromancers, it is pretty effective in annoying the opponent.
@BlueDrake77 Okay, I'll recant the prior statement and specify I meant it was bad having too many of these effects in cards. (Aka. Homogeneity is generally bad inside card games!)
@BlueDrake77 I'd prefer it to be a creature but honestly I don't care. I was kind of looking for a lightning themed creature tho but as long as its related to lightning it has a chance.
Bump, we have a week left to get those entries in people!! You'll have to be (heh) *lightning fast* if you want to make a *shocking* entry! Good luck!
Judging will be done on the 9th of April, so get those entries in! There might be some problems with timezones because I am in Australia at the moment so try and get any entries in well before the judging date. Good luck peoples!

EDIT: Toughness changed due to popular opinion.
That seems overpowered.

Accidentally stated very. XD
3/2 seems pretty reasonable.
Wording would be:
Haste, lifelink, trample, flanking
Makes it a little easier for opponents to deal with before taking damage.
Perhaps 3/1 is best cause of trample-flanking combo.
I agree with Faiths_Guide that it would be fair if its stats were reduced.
plz no poof corwinn, i just like the idea of this.
Makes any creatures made in this contest double as shocking.
how do you do it?

Edited the card due to spelling errors. And edited again to add power and toughness...
