Making Damselfly a 2|1 for free, or even a 3|1 (crazy, I know) would make me happy. It's frankly barely worth upgrading.

how about making the upgraded a 2/1 and keep the air production?

Lose the air production? That is what made this card fun in the first place! That was there before the buff.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. Speak the truth even when your voice falters.

?    What just happened. I thought I was replying to a post that said "Why did the nerf the unupped? O.o"


I didn't mean to question your response.


Am I hallucinating? Did a post get deleted?

Nope. The user pic had some red in it though.

Stop spamming this thread with one sentence responses that have nothing to do with the card change please.

I agree that the unupped change is good, but the upgraded one isn't.  A) because it was useful before and B) because it's now the exact same as RoL, air version.

Fine. Back on topic.

I would disagree. I like the new upgraded one.
It makes sense thematically that an insect would have no cost.
It isn't a clone of RoL because it has more health, makes  :air, and doesn't combo with Hope.
Though I'll admit this card still isn't very strong, it isn't supposed to be.
The upped one is an air pillar with 1 attack, essentially. I see nothing wrong with that.

It's not a clone of RoL... it's weaker. Its extra point of health really doesn't change anything. RoL is cool because it can couple with Hope to great effect. Gemfinder is cool because it's great in a Golem deck for much-needed :earth quanta. However, the new Damselfly doesn't really have any of this dynamic; it's just a pillar as a creature. And creatures are susceptible to creature control, especially one this fragile.

What's wrong with this is that it does nothing to make this woebegone card more popular. With Sky Blitz, the previous Damselfly could see some action. Now, it loses even that.
