CARD POOLS
These stress some synergies and come with 3 cards per off element and a main element pack with cards that give synergies. Total amount of cards is 60 for both packs(+10 pillars)

The    cycle was designed so the players could choose from 12 different combinations rather than your 6 proposed combinations.

I would suggest you design some starter decks around a cycle because we need new starter decks but the cycle is better than 6 pairs.

[purewater156]

This is an alternate kind of option for start up deck. Thanks for posting your idea.
BTW, How to arrange time, aether, gravity and entropy? Will that be
time and aether, gravity and entropy?

[DevilLoss]

i like the idea and would love to see more also make another one based on the cycle to that would be neat

[Genuinous]

I've been thinking about this also. But I wasn't sure about the basic concept.... How should we built starter decks? Is there a format or something which should be kept?

[Gyrodiot]

Putting some new cards in the starter decks is a good idea.

But, I don't know why having 6 pairings instead of 12 is a big deal, as there's no synergy in the said pairings (except for the current Air-Light, or here Fire-Water). Often, players will get rid of the off-element cards until they can build some new ones.

Having off-element cards is a good idea, as it helps to discover synergies between elements, but why choose these 12 specific pairings among the 132 possible ones ? We can imagine that the player chooses his/her primary element and receives a random off-element, or chooses both, etc.

If I remember correctly, the starter decks were already like this since before the free Metamorphosis. Now we can even think of starter deck with a different mark than the element chosen. The starter decks just have to be... poor, while helping the new player discovering the different play styles of the elements.

I really like the idea of choosing your off element, i might have to make 12 off element options and 12 main element options

The fire deck costs ~1300 while others cost ~900 . IMO the balance of deck cost also needs to be taken into account.

Question: Why starter decks?
If I had the ability to change the starter cardpool, I'd give them at least 60 cards, if not 100.

Hmmm thats a good idea.
Added to poll
I think i will make an example card pool for darkness

Because it lengthens average play duration. (same reason as why Rares and Grinding exist)
Also 60 cards would lead to newbs using 60 card decks.

You broke the poll numbers. We can't change votes anymore.
