Elements 1.30

Supernova Nerf is too strong.  Black hole and Pest already provided strong balance against it.  The ner should be 3 Novas or 2 SuperNovas per turn before singularity to make the card useful.  1 SN or 2N is too too weak and destroys usefulness of the card

That's exactly what the nerf is. 3 novas a turn or 2 supernovas per turn creates a singularity.

I think he/she was sayin' the limit should be upped by one on each variant.

[dragonsdemesne]

Is it intentional that you can play 2 novas AND one supernova together in one turn and not generate a singularity?  If so, some speedbows could run a mix of unupped/upped novas to generate less singularities.  In practice, I'm finding that the restriction is fairly minor on the player side; it seems to hurt the AI a lot more, due to the arena decks having 12 of them.

Nope. Shards still are there. They just don't come up TOO often.

After playing both with suppernova & nova rainbows, i can say : No.

Being able to safely play 3 Nova / 2 Supernova each turn without Singularities appearing isn't even a nerf at all.

The 2 Nova / 1 Supernova safety zone puts them in a balanced position in the competitive PvP metagame: strong, but not so dominant that it pushes other decks out of viability.

[RRQJ]

honestly, the SN nerf probably only hurts the rainbow rushes, and only by little.  I feel that more often than not, I can't even start with two SNs in my hand.

And as said above, it hurts arena decks more due to their double deck size.

[sluggy]

have to say im well impressed with these updates.

SN nerf is long overdue, that coupled with 1 less win needed in arena is allowing me more chance at final spins. granted so far ive only had 1 card from 4 final spins (but it was a nice SOF)

the seraph looks impressive, i came up against a hand filled with em earlier and lost.

the combine shards card is super groovy also.

grats on another amazing update

Thanx Zanz for the upgrade. The new shards do shuffle the stage well, the quicker arena-counter ist simply fine, and the novanerf is just well dosed - you still have the option to stack (S)N, if you think it is worth it (endgame, for example).

Great!

[AP579]

I honestly don't like the SN nerf. Making it just not possible to play the other one seems a lot more balanced. There are little situations in which you would want to rush two SN, as you often only need 2 or 3 to power all cards in your deck. I've often lost games because of just a bit of absentmindedness when I focus on other things. It's overkill.

[McSod]

I know it's been said to no end, but I agree 'a little bit'. I don't want to see the singularity done away with entirely, as thematically, I love the concept. But I'd definitely like to see that limit go one higher. And honestly, the unupped ones, I think are fine. Two S/Novas before a singularity is how it oughtt'a be, regardless of upped/unupped status.

Of course, this is merely my opinion.

[MatrimKK]

Singularities are fun each SN should make one!
