If you so dislike the death nova, why give this champion bone prison, which is a mostly better version of the death nova?
I don't understand what you mean by this -- if your issue with the death nova was that it generates too many stats for its cost, why propagate an ability that generates an equal number of stats, does not require the champion to die, can be used multiple times, and only costs 1 nora more? I'd say that the champion only moves 3-4 spaces a turn matters little to those calculations.
