This is the powerful card air needed. Excellent idea, Zan.

Could be very useful for sure and lead to creatureless strategies.

Finally. Muscling up the Air Element is just what we need. :D

What kind of shields can block this thing? I'm assuming Bonewalls don't work, but Jade Shields might...

I dont think any shield can block this, since this card doesnt target.

Its like poison, correct.

EDIT: Zanz said in chat that this would be blocked by jade and reflective shield.

I'm very glad to see that the reflect ability on some shields might have more usefulness in the future.

Actually, it would be the only way to prevent getting killed by 5 of these getting played togheter, with the exception of shard of divinity..

Mark of Fire
8 Time Towers
9 Wind Towers
6 Unstable Gases
5 Hourglasses
2 Procrastinations

The above deck seems to work really well. Emphasis on the really. Wins in about 8 turns if you get an early hourglass. The only weaknesses that I've come across are SoD's and decks with a whole bunch of steals (I fought three different t50 decks with six steals in them... wtf?). The AI seems to prefer stealing hourglasses over gases, so that helps. I'm sure other permanent destruction decks would also pose a problem though. Anyway, with so many hourglasses, you could add in several SoG's and probably improve the win percentage... I'd test if we could get them easily in the trainer.

This will be blocked by Reflective Shield? But this card doesn't target. With this logic, then Reflective Shield should also block poison and other things.

Just like if Fire Shield affects Immortals, then all other shields should. I do not like inconsistencies in the game.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

Zanz said he was going to make freezing and procrastination affect immortals as well, so every shield will work on them, and he also reworded the text on the reflective shields to say that it reflects all direct damage from spells.

What else doesn't reflective shield block?
