[Official] Purify | Purify

[ZephyrPhantom]

Purify seems to be one of the most situational/underused cards in the game - it's only purpose is to counter poison decks, and without the knowledge of what your opponent will be using, most healing cards seem far superior to it.

Suggested Buff : Allow it to target players and creatures. This provides a counter to creature poison (which aren't a lot of good counters for), and allows for a bit more manipulation on your part, when considering a card that inverts healing and damage like Shard of Sacrifice.

Just make it give 2|3 purify counters each.

This card in underused because You need quantum, so using this card is only possible in and decks (which aren't so popular as or ).
The same situation will be when Flying Weapon will have cost 1

So we could buff ability of this card or making random cost as FW

Purify is likely going to receive a buff, actually.

[10:29:47 PM] zanzarino: Burn, consume, set on fire that guy not sure about the name yet
[10:30:18 PM] pikachufan2164: Will Purify heal burns as well?
[10:30:50 PM] zanzarino: Purify? Maybe... why not

If this burn effect comes out, Purify won't need a buff.

If this burn effect comes out, Purify won't need a buff.

Even if it the burn effect does come out I personally think:

Just make it give 2|3 purify counters each.

[RootRanger]

If the new burn effect is powerful enough, 2|3 will be overpowered.
You'll want a card that can completely counter a decent portion of the metagame and still be an efficient card against what it doesn't counter?

There already is one, it's called Sanctuary.

And no, in that case, you could raise the cost by 1 .

I'd be in favour of leaving Purify as is except allowing it to target creatures to remove their poison.  That would give it use against things like Toadfish or Spine Carapace.

I would agree with that except for the fact that you can only have six of them in your deck and unless it had a reverse plague effect on the creatures I really don't see that added effect as being that effective.

Now, now. You're thinking only in the purifying part of it. You're not considering the regeneration that comes as a bonus. Ever wanted to put Overdrive on a creature with low health?

Point taken. Even though as it stands, overdrive would still kill it even with an upped purify.
Other than overdrive though, I think my point still stands. against things such as toadfish or spine carapace it would'nt be extremely useful. It would be somewhat useful, but not extremely useful.

Uh... Overdrive is -1, Upped Purify is +2.
