Shard Of Will is far superior to Shard Of Balance in terms of balance, little bland on the creativity though, but it would make more sense for SoW to be in the vote than SoB (<---- that's what i thought when i saw that shard in the vote, sob)

@essence
to be able to stop ALL of a players permanents at once for even the minimum of 2 turns is OP.  you wouldnt be playing with a lot, if any, permanents while using this shard, and you dont even need water creatures.  this pretty much shuts any stall deck down, since most use permanents, and one card should not have the power to shut down so many decks.  you could use this with any speedbow and you now have the means to defeat every single stall deck that could have once been a threat.

this means no sogs, no hourglass, no shield, no weapon, the only thing the player can now use is spells to stall, which is not as effective alone.  even a destroyer rush can use these to stop the stalls, since the cost is only 3 random, even a cremated photon can shut down a stall.  this goes into any rush deck, and no stall deck should win, that makes it OP

Seriously?
Guys. Intuition was the worst shard possible, and it won. It's OP. It's also UP if it doesn't work. It has no balance. It can't work without entropy. It has too much randomness. Did i say it was unbalanced? It's also badly designed, breaks the 6 card rule (we saw what fractal did with it, see the cost of fractal), and shouldn't even have passed the first votes.
Zanzarino must be crying. Or his head exploded, whichever.

Also. The three best designed ones are in the least voted. Yayz!

@Jenkar - there are two cards with 7 votes. Which one makes your top 3?

even farmer joe would have been a better selection than intuition, jeeze.  i really wanted those 3 card designer points :(  iirc this is the second time ive come in second in a card design competition, the other time i lost to the person who likely caused the advertising rules to be put into place lol.  this one kinda hurts more.

jenkar- slight disagreement, knowledge was the best designed ;)

Thanks for the congratulations everyone ^-^ oh no haters

Well, I'm just going to say one thing: I hate randomness. I really do. If I had to pick a Top 5 of my least favourite cards in EtG, Mutation, Fate Egg and Dusk Mantle would probably be among them. One thing however that you learn when you play for Team Entropy for 2 Wars or just are a smart person is that not everything that says random has randomness in it.

Discord "randomly" scrambles the opponents quanta pool. What this means is that it totally kills any mono or duo deck that hasn't taken a specific counter.
Chaos Seed inflicts a "random" effect on a creature. What this means is that it's an extremely efficient tool for killing creatures with 2 or less HP.
Fallen Druid produces a "random" mutant every turn. What this means is that the opponent either kills it or will soon face an invincible army, regardless of what exact mutants are created.
Pandemonium inflicts a "random" effect on every creature. What this means is that it will still kill enough to charge up your Bone Wall.

There are on the other hand also cards that are extremely random in gameplay, but where Zanzarino wasn't so friendly to put the word "random" on them.

Scorpions require you to draw a two card combination in which neither piece doesn't do anything without the other.
Silence has a very strong effect... If you manage to power it out on turn 1 otp with the help of Towers.
Black Hole has a very strong effect, but only if you managed to randomly draw a Discord before.

So please before you bash my card, think about the meaning of randomness, and try to find out what's really random about a card. That is all, thank you very much.

Ps: Thanks to everyone who voted for my Shard! :D

Yep. Not what was wanted in the slightest but the best of a load of bad ideas nonetheless.

Good job whoever won, but I must admit I am kind of surprised at the poll results.
Gone for awhile now, though I still pop by from time to time.
