As I anticipated, this thread has turned into a "which element is the best" debate.

To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

If that is what it is about... then anything other than :entropybig looks like a glorified pog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogs), kthxbye.

Jokes aside, I don't see a point in debating about it. Let's du-du-du-duel about it.

Okay, no jokes aside.

Phase Shield: Yay! I'll take the damage like a man... then heal! Like a man! Because that is so manly! Oh yah! I'm a man! Because I'm a man!
Have you ever heard of Wolverine?  I recommend you google him.  He's pretty badass and manly.  Meanwhile, Captain America is a pansy loser.

Monopoly maintained.
I can argue individual cards and disprove most or all your points. But I'm way too lazy to do that. Instead, I can more or less disprove your ENTIRE argument by defining the word "monopoly".

Quote
In economics, a monopoly (from Greek monos / μονος (alone or single) + polein / πωλειν (to sell)) exists when a specific individual or an enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it.
Here, the "enterprise" is Life. The "product or service" is healing. But does Life change the terms on which other individuals have access to healing cards?

Not in the slightest. Argument taken down. How about a different definition?

Quote
A situation in which a single company or group owns all or nearly all of the market for a given type of product or service. By definition, monopoly is characterized by an absence of competition - which often results in high prices and inferior products.

For a strict academic definition, a monopoly is a market containing a single firm.
Well, obviously, you fail the strict academic definition and the "all" definition. "Nearly all?" Well, you said that there are 5 healing cards outside of Life. And how many does Life have? 3. Nearly all? Quite the opposite.
IF you wish to make a healing card you HAVE to go with life.  Meaning, if we set it so that Emphatic Bond didn't stack with, oh, I dunno, Aether, then guess what?  Anyone who likes healing would stop playing Aether.

Other is the greatest element of all, and mint chocolate chip is a close second.

Perhaps, but unless I misunderstood, the purpose of the thread is to "vote and explain why [insert element] is your favourite." While "favourite" is not synonymous with "best" from the objective point of view, it usually is from the subjective.

What do you mean by Empathic Bond stacking with Aether? You play an empathic bond and it appears in your quanta pool over aether?
If you meant synergy then... if we set it so that Fractal does not stack with, oh, I dunno, Frogs, then guess what? No one would play frogtal! ::)

I guess many people like some element because they think it's the best. Eg. many people like :time, because it actually is the best :P

Hard to argue about the latter.
