No one else would be willing to do this task.
Also, I want to do this task. I find it fun. Don't ask me why.

I'll add more overtime to actually clarify things.
I just rushed and posted this out because I was tired of waiting on completing the whole thing when I know it won't be complete for a while.
Working on strength of life next.

Sorry if this offends you, but I think it's better to hand this task to someone with more experience.

This. Nothing else to add.

Perhaps it would've been wiser to say that this is your overall interpretation/feedback thread of Elements, instead of presenting it as such that it appears to be an end-all be-all informational thread; if the latter is your intent, then I don't think you're heading in the right direction here. There's nothing wrong with overhauling an OP to make it better and more viable; as is, you've simply made it that people are more willing to point out the one glaring flaw than actively debating your thoughts. I think it's worth noting that your previous thread had more constructive discussion than the current one does.

Fractaling a ghost is a terrible idea without quanta to summon.

Yes, doing glaringly stupid moves is a terrible idea. On the same level of why bolting yourself are a bad idea.

There are more mistakes, but the comment on ghostal was the most lulzy.

One minor detail starts this much of a riot.
Honestly I couldn't care much about the attacks about my experience. I've been here for a year, playing Elements for three, and I still haven't "the slightest amount of experience" to offer. I'm not listening to these anymore. I've already tried discrediting these statements the first eight months of being here. I'm done replying to personal opinions about my experience. This is it.
I'll just correct the fractal part of the post rather than group it with the cards I thought wouldn't need much of an explanation.

I had a long and exhaustive reply all typed out, but I accidentally refreshed and erased it all.  >:( :-[ :'(
Since I am faaar too lazy to type all of it again, I will merely point out the factual inaccuracies in the post. The ability to deal spell damage, referenced in Psion, Phase Dragon, and Shard of Wisdom, is psion, not psionist. Phase Dragon stats are 8/6|10/6, not 8/6|8/8.

More of a minor quibble, but

The problem I have with this card is that it targets immaterial creatures, which no card should do in my opinion, but this thread isn’t about my opinion.
Are you sure, are you absolutely sure that this thread isn't about your opinion?

Anyway, generally speaking, I disagree with your analysis towards Aether cards and Aether in general, but I don't feel like typing out why again.

Are you sure, are you absolutely sure that this thread isn't about your opinion?

This is perfect.  I agree with pretty much everything that is said in this thread, because of this sentence.  This thread seems not so much of a comprehensive guide, as much as an exhaustive dive into the different elements in one person's opinion.

I think there is a lot of value in iDaire's ruminations, although there are some "facts" that need to be addressed, or perhaps reworded so they are taken as less than absolute. 

iDaire, don't take the personal attacks to heart, but *do* hear the points that people are making.  The points about the differences between playing vs comp, PvP open meta, and PvP restricted meta cannot be understated.  I know it seems like a fine point, but it actually has everything to do with a lot of the claims you are making.  My point?  Take the advice to heart, but ignore the sleights.  It's not worth the time.

Re-wrote the original post.

It would be helpful if you pointed out exactly what you changed and why. The only thing I saw changed were regarding Fractal, but its very easy to miss things in a post this large. For example, I see that the inaccuracies regarding Psion and Phase Dragon have not been corrected.

Experience doesn't mean all that much. If you can prove your expertise regarding Aether with well-reasoned arguments and analyses, that's much more effective than talking about how long you have been playing. Otherwise, saying things like Ghostal is not effective, factual inaccuracies like what I pointed out, saying you need 6 PC cards to overcome monoaether, Phase Dragon and Immortal aren't good cards, etc. does not help your case.
