Nice. Can't wait to see these show up in beta.

[Xenocidius]

Wow, I was actually JUST on that page. Didn't see anything new. Stupid cache. >.>

EDIT: New images!

Spoiler for old:

[TheIdioticIdiot]

what do you mean turn into a black hole?
does it just disappear, and you get a black hole effect?

[Hyroen]

^_^ Excited for one shard in particular.

Amazed in general.

It disappears and a black hole is added to your hand. The wording could be improved but I do not have much room on the card.

[mesaprotector]

Shard of Focus... wow. I'm mildly worried about the PC potential of this card, but the mechanic seems really interesting. Synergy with Rage Potion as well.

[Xenocidius]

Shard of Focus is the Earth shard, right? At first I thought it was Gravity, but it doesn't really give a bonus to Gravity decks.

EDIT: Well, Gravity Pull, Catapult, I guess it does give a bonus to Gravity. Still, it would sort of make sense as Earth shard too (Basilisk Blood, Heavy Armor).

Eh, it'll make sense once people experience it firsthand, like always.

By the way, just to make things clear:  What Element does Shard of Focus correspond to?

EDIT:  Friggin' ninjas.

Gravity: you need gravity quanta if you want to use the black hole, or you can fling it with a catapult.
Edit: Or use acceleration to keep the shard in play and keep using it to destroy more permanents

Of course, I completely overlooked that. >.>

Now, Accretion doesn't seem to be an active, triggered ability. What is it? If it is, how much does it cost?

[willng3]

Kay, next question:  Is the HP gain added to your HP like Stone Skin or does it only heal you for 10HP like ... Heal?

EDIT:  Completely misunderstood the card it seems, I am a dunderhead >_>
