Or I was thinking of a close up of a Micromajig face staring at you with circular hypnotic rays coming from its eyes :-)

This is a pretty ridiculous card. Tac Vac is 4 and it only stops you from playing tactics. I can't imagine this being balanced.

My thinking on this card is from a thematic point of view what effect would a group of Micromajigs "hypnotising" the opposition be likely to do. From a gameplay point of view I was thinking of a good card for Gearsmith's to play against aggro decks, from the cards I have seen, there are a lot of cards for Gearsmith that allow them to "ramp up" their resources, so I wanted to create a card that gave them some stalling power against against sligh tactics. Warlord decks I have seen on Youtube can put about 10+ of damage on the table in the first few turns.

I would have thought that unless this card can be easily recurred with the use of another card and / or character it would not be broken. The triple E should make it difficult to splash into any Warlord decks.

I designed it as a nice little uncommon that can throw a spanner in the works of combat math and give some play against decks that have terminate style spells, as this would be a must terminate card for your opponent if it was part of your combo deck.

You could make it into a rare card and a bit less powerful by removing the draw effect
