Zanzarino should make an hp cap for it, or it would be WAY overpowered

I believe that already been done. Capped off at fifty and play cost raised to 9.

[jmizzle7]

He already did, Clawver. He changed it yesterday after I reached over 3000 health in one game. The health cap on Stone Skin is now at 50.

Actually, Vio, the cost for Stone Skin was always at 9. Granite Skin costs 7 to cast.

Jmizzle, do you have access to some sort of beta version of the new cards? Because I don't see them in the game yet...

Yeah, unlimited HP is problematic, especially with Miracles. But in my opinion, a cap of 50 is a bit too low. Might be better if the cap is 100; or, you can make the upgraded version capped at 100.

EDIT: OK, nevermind. I just saw the trainer.

[coinich]

If the upgraded version is 100hp, that means you could have up to 600hp in these cards alone.  I think the 50 cap is good.

[Essence]

Agreed.  Putting together an Elemental Mastery deck with 6x Shard of Divinity + 6x Stoneskin could net you a theoretical MaxHP of 100+120+300=520, which would give you a HIDEOUS amount of Electrum when you aced FireQueen or Incarnate with it.

OK... I just realized. I thought the total amount of HP you can gain from all Stone Skin cards were 50. I guess I was wrong. OK then, 50 HP cap is perfectly fine now. But it'll still be evil combined with Miracle.

Doesn't miracle just heal 99 hp? that is just a 5th of your health (regarding Essence's last post)

[Bloodshadow]

Miracle heals to maximum HP minus one, unless it's been nerfed just now. The False God Miracle heals to 199.

[jmizzle7]

If you read the text of Miracle, it heals you to your maximum health minus one. So whatever your max health is, Miracle gets you one short of it. That's why flying Morning Glory decks use Shard of Divinity, to boost Miracle's effect. Stone Skin has this same effect, but is much more expensive.
