Card Changes - v1.21

[CB!]

I've seen bits and pieces of changes to various cards in several threads and thought I'd start a collection here... feel free to add anything else you find... So far, I'm just comparing what's in the live version to the trainer... Try to refrain from discussing the cards here, and do that in the appropriate section for the cards...

Earth: Graboid and Elite Graboid ability cost 1 -> 2

[Astaroth]

Thanks for putting this together CB. Overall, I think these changes needed to be made.

[MrSexington]

Might as well throw the new cards in there.  I'm sure some of the changes were due to their presence.

Ahh, missed that... thanks... I'll add it to the first post... also, links to the cards affected and the new cards coming out...

[Wisemage]

wow that grabiod change totally messes up shrieker rush, way to go zanz.

Well... I must say that Elements is the first game I'm playing where players are trying to find differences between current/next versions instead of receiving detailed information from developers... o.0

They will be explained WHEN THEY GO LIVE....

Mummies seem like a poor card... if you have scarabs you've already got time and gravity, so time and death and gravity wouldn't work that well, especially since you can just use aether to get fractals.  Still......... I might try it.

Do pharaohs turn to mummies when killed?

[Uncle Jellyfish]

The new Life shield is SO AWESOME! With the amount of Healing that Life is able to achieve, that shield just adds insult to injury. Also, I'm soooooooooo glad that Pulvy got upped in ability cost, just like it was suggested so long ago, lol. I'm liking all of these changes.

In the trainer, Pharaoh is a stand-alone card, but in all likeliness, it won't be available that way in the live version of the game. Also, no, Pharaohs don't turn back into Mummies, and when you Rewind a Mummy into a Pharaoh, you don't get the Mummy back on top of the deck AND a Pharaoh.

I see the obvious synergy between time and death, with scavenger and the gobbling of skeletons, but I just don't think it will be that great while scarab's devour costs gravity quantums (which never really made sense to me anyway.)

I think Pharohs should only be available through Mummies.  Also, Pharaohs should produced 2 Scarabs for every activation.
