the best card in the air arsenal. massive offensive potential.

[Lucifear]

A staple of the Air selection.

This card is notorious for creating a quick swarm offence, that also produces quantums.

Not upgraded, this creates fireflies that produce light, making an endless cycle between Firefly Queen/Fireflies/Rustler

Upgraded, the fireflies produce fire, which can easily fuel a large firebolt, or other fire decks.

agreed.  Card with lots of awesome uses.  Can find a place in most decks, almost every rainbow deck out there uses them.

Queen+Fallen druid= awesome.

Queen > Firefly > Rustler

Huge potential but very weak to fire and dimension shifting

how come they're adding an extra quantum cost in 1.21? doesn't really seem necessary to me considering how much quanta you have to spend generating fireflies anyways

[coinich]

The card is one of the best in the game; a slight increase in cost won't hurt it too much.

I think perhaps the point is that the slight cost increase (6 to 7) is a much bigger problem for rainbows than for a Firefly deck. Since rainbows rely on Quantum pillars/towers, getting that extra air quantum can take a lot longer than a duo-deck since a lot of luck is needed, while Firefly decks with all those air pillars/towers won't be affected much (the same might be said for feral bonds). Therefore these recent cost increases might be more of an effort to balance rainbows than Firefly decks (or Mono and Duos in general).

One of the best cards in the game, but it fails against otyughs. Usually, when that happens, I get my fallen Druid and improve mutate it before the otyugh can eat it.

But then doesn't your druid just get eaten?

You don't use Quintessence your Druid when you play it? Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. My druids are the most important cards in my lame deck.
