[Official] Anubis | Elite Anubis

[Contrary]

Anubis is kind of redundant with Quint and Aether Nymphs. Even if it wasn't it would still suck. Crazy expensive, requires a weird duo, low damage high ability cost.

I think that thematically Anubis needs to keep its anti CC theme, being a protector of sorts. Single creature protection won't work since Aether has that covered. I think the way to go is mass CC protection.

My idea: Make it so that when Anubis is on the field, no other card may be targeted until Anubis is destroyed. Its health could be tweaked as well. This way you could protect every creature but not as powerfully as a mass Quint. You still need to fire a couple Owl Eye shots or a Reverse Time before you could get at the other creatures. Powerful, but balanced out with Anubis' high cost and low damage.

It could even be activated or toggled at a cost of Aether if you want to keep the duo.

By your logic then, Anubis+Quint= all creatures untagetable? Broken. Needs the stay as is.

Cheaper cost or more damage would be nice. I don't really need a reusable quint most of the time, and 8 for 5 damage is a bit underwhelming.

It kind of did get a buff with the SoR change. Can play it then SoR it, quint it and another creature.

@Bleys295 Obviously I don't intend to make that a possibility. But even then, would that really be that broken? Not that many decks rely on killing your opponent's creatures, and mono aether has got invincible creature spam covered pretty well. I think that having an expensive two card combo in a weird duo just to have untargetable creatures could have been done by the usual mono aether for a lesser cost in a more consistent, streamlined deck.

A lot of decks do however rely on targeting creatures.

Important recent buff ^

Aether has a Mono Immortal Immortalizer for 12 |11 + 2 cards and  activation cost.
Now Time has a Mono Immortal Immortalizier for 8 + 5 |3 + 2 cards and 0 activation cost.
I prefer Time's version.

Agreed. Anubis is much more powerful with the SoR buff. No change is needed. If anything, i think its quite powerful (although not nerf worthy)

Derp forgot about that shard trash. Nvm.

I was always under the impression that anubis was better than the nymph.  It was always one of the points made for why the nymph needs a buff/change or anubis needs a nerf/change.

Depends on who you asked. Nymph fans though Nymph needed to be buffed relative to Anubis and vice versa.

Maybe -1 quantum cost it will be ok, or 2...
