You can do the exact same thing with Reverse Time on an enemy creature. This seems to be too easy of a complete lockdown to pull IMHO, because with Reverse Time your oppponent has at least have chance to play the rewinded card where here you're just dealing at least 10 damage each turn from a deck like this.

I don't see where not giving them a chance to play cards is a bad thing. Isn't the object of the game to win? I want cards that help me do that, not cards that make it fair for my opponent.
Not to mention, any deck that has anyway to generate Time quanta, or gets out SoG's early, would be nearly unaffected by the deck I tossed together if it gets a bad start.

You don't see the synergy with Ghost of the Past? This would be a great card to play in a Time/Dark deck.

6x Ghost
6x Nightmare
6x Time Paradox

What will they ever have the chance to do? Besides kill themselves with discards?

Should probably change the wording though from "Send a copy... on top of your opponent's deck." to "Send a copy... to the top of your opponent's deck."

A little less confusing that way I believe.

Simple way to make it more useful, and fit into Life.

Sacrifice Newton's Apple: Heal 10 life.

Would also make it useful in rainbow stalls. Probably would have to up the cost one for balance.

WELCOME!
what is your favorite element

Favorite element has to be time, even though I'm currently playing a mono-aether no creature mindgate deck.

I just really like the mechanics of time.

Introduce Yourself / Saying Hi

Hello all!

Name's Jeremy.
Been playing Elements for a few months now, but never posted on the forums.

I actually found out about this game from lurking on the Penny Arcade forums, in a post about a bunch of random flash games.
Being a sucker for card-type games, I was hooked. Guess it stems from playing Magic back in jr. high and high school.

Anyways, back to my usual spot of lurking and not posting!

Yeah, there is a bug that if a weapon is played over titan then it will ignore shields.

Ah, that's it then. Thanks for the confirmation.

[Are you sure that you weren't just taking damage from a Titan (they have momentum, so they bypass your shield)?

Of course I'm sure I was taking damage from the Eternity. I was taking 4 damage a turn from it, and a Titan deals 7. Like I said, new to the forums, not the game. 

Maybe the bug is actually that the momentum carried over, because the computer (stupidly) cast the Eternity after having a Titan in play, but I would have no way to know that.

And thanks for the details on posting pics. If I see that deck again, I'll try and catch a screeny.

First ever post on these forums, even though I've been playing this game for a few months now. (Yay!)

Was just playing chum3's top 50 deck that has unupped Titans and Eternities. I am playing a no creature Mindgate deck with Phase Shields, fully upped.

Anyway, the bug I'm seeing is that even though I have a Phase Shield up, I'm still being damaged by an Eternity that he has.

What is the easiest way to take a screenshot of the damage as it's happening? And where are the screenshots saved anyway?
