6th Trials - Proving Your Worthiness (Submission Topic)

[Laxadarap]

Woo Procrastination!

Task Uno

Spoiler for Flooding Sucks:

Flooding is considered UP.  Why? It has the ability to instakill monsters, but it only really works if you opponent is using a creature-spamming deck, of if are using it in conjunction with aflotoxin or something.  What flooding needs, is to be able to affect all creature slots, and that's why I came up with this:

NAME: Arctic Waters ELEMENT: COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: All non-water creatures have a 25% chance to freeze at the end of their owner' turn.	NAME: Hypothermic Sea ELEMENT: Water COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: All non-water creatures have a 25% chance to freeze at the end of their owner' turn.

ART: Elementsthegame, with super 1337 MS Paint editing by me IDEA: Laxadarap NOTES: Note: Is not stackable My solution to the suckiness that is flooding.  You have to be careful of the cards you play, as this can bite you in the behind, but this is the mass CC flooding was supposed to be.  Flooding's weakness is that it only works if your opponent is using a very specific deck type, this should work in all scenarios.  Runs great in monowater, not so great in rainbows (a bit more limited than flooding).  Compare this with Ice shield.  It doesn't block attack, but it has the great advantage of being able to stop creatures that have 0 attack, such as SoFo, Chrysora, and the like.  This has synergy with gravity, as it slows down your opponent, and can also increase your catapult damage.  When this is played in tandem with permafrost, you get a 58% chance at freezing an attacking enemy creature, which is pretty great.  Luckily, this combo is balanced in regards to arctic squid.  For 12 quanta, arctic squid can freeze 4, almost 5 creatures.  Hence, this is more effective than a squid if the opponent has more than 8 creatures on the field, which is when flooding started to become effective.  If a creature is allready frozen, the effect skips over it.  (Or else this could refreeze allready frozen creatures, probably not a bad mechanic, just kinda OP in regards to ice shield and permafrost.  Starts out slower than procrastination and dusk mantle, but picks up strength the longer it is in play.  Thematically it affects airborne creatures as well, cuz its still fricking cold. SERIES:

Spoiler for The loriest of Lore:

Way back in the yonder days, Neptune and half of the elements community decided that Flooding sucked.  Neptune, being the god with shockwave, flooding, and lots of CC, decided it was time to make an improvement.  Looking at his arsenal, he came across an idea.  What if I chilled the water? Then he called over the coors light train, ate a couple of York peppermint patties (if you don't get these references, google them) and traveled to Antarctica to steal some massive glaciers.  When he returned to his underwater abode, he turned the AC on full blast, and breathed on the water surrounding his house.  Icebergs suddenly formed, sinking a ship (S.S. Titanic), but Neptune had his frigid bath.  "Let's see them laugh at me now!" he cackled gleefully.  No longer did he have to wait for his opponents to run out of land, he just froze them whenever they got close.  Of course, some lasted longer than others, but they all froze eventually.  Neptune started hitting them with his shockwaves left and right, and soon nothing remained except for piles of ice and glittering shards in the air.

Spoiler for Card that goes with super 1337 flooding:

NAME: Antlion Female ELEMENT: Earth COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3|5 TEXT: Generate an Antlion every time this card fails to do damage.	NAME: Antlion Matriarch ELEMENT: Earth COST: 6 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3|5 TEXT: http://i.imgur.com/50CHC.jpg

ART: Elementsthegame, edited by Laxadarap IDEA: Laxadarap - Started here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,42533.0.html NOTES: Because: Who doesn't think antlions need more love! One thing to note: as of now, active effects work while delayed, but not if frozen (active effects such as quanta generation, not ones you have to click on).  This is designed to work if frozen.  This card helps earth a lot, as well as synergizing with water and the card I posted.  For example, if it is frozen (like from Arctic Waters) it will not do any damage, and it will generate an antlion.  This also works against shields, such as wings and dim shield, since we all know that those destroy certain elements. In earth synergy, we have wardens and basilisk blood.  This ads a bit time synergy, with graboid (now sundials give you antlions), this is a great counter to bonewall, and can be used in conjunction with life (as long as opponent has shields).  Gives something else to run in a posiedon-water duo.  I want to say that if this is AM'd, it will be doing no damage, and hence will produce an antlion a turn.    SERIES:

Won 12/20 games.  Doesn't sound great, but its fully unupped and rareless, pretty fun to play with, pretty versatile, and hell, instosis only gets like a 65% win rate.  This isn't much under that for "reliable"

Pretty self explanatory and great idea.  For an Ai3 deck, you want EM's or speed, this is a little bit of both.  Started with a shrieker rush base, added precogs to speed through draws, heals to get EM's, and there you have it.  Played vs. ai3 20 games, closes I came to losing was with 46 hp.  Ended up with 8/20 EM's, but a suprisingly slow 7.95 TTW.  (I blame trio inefficiency XD)

I chose to make this god because frankly, seraph is an awesome card (especially the art), and no FG's use it or sanctuary yet.  This is supposed to change that, with a very nice trio.  (Would be even better if I could use cremations )
Thematically, Ascendere is Latin for ascend (at least, it's supposed to be).  Retrovirus causes death/dies itself, and seraphs and archangels rise from the rubble.  You could also even say that they rise from the ashes, but that's the phoenix's job, the immortal, re-birthing bird.  Sanctuary is hopefully symbolic of a heavenly place.

Spoiler for I like big decks and I cannot Lie:

Just looking at it, you should be able to tell what it is.  A massive CC stall.  You have diss shield for stalling, AM for CC, squid+shockwave combo, squid + flooding combo.  If you can get flooding set up, your going to have a really easy time, and there is enough CC there to last you until you get it up.  Purify is there for 2 reasons.  It can be useful on a poisoned/accelerated squid, and poison is one of the few things that would get this impenetrable wall.

Spoiler for ALL the Shards! Well, not really:

6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6s3 6s3 6s3 6s3 6s3 6s3 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7jo 7k2 7k2 7k2 7k6 7k6 7k6 7k6 7k6 7k6 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 8pn

The main point of this deck, believe it or not, is not the SoG, but the SoB.  What makes this effective, is that you can make your opponent speed through their draws, and each of your stalling tools becomes more effective.  Sundial can stay in play for the equivalent of 2 turns, your opponent has too many creatures and not enough quanta to play them, so you have time to heal up.  Rest works as a standard stall.  Dials to stop damage, SoG and Sancs to heal it back, Miracle in case your about to get beat.  This does pretty well in pvp2, and I actually call it the "rush decker" unless you bring a great stallbreaker, this is pretty hard to beat.  It also works pretty well against the meta.  Heck, even Eternity can't always deck it out.  Even if your opponent has 40 cards, you can still deck them out, by making them draw 2, and you only draw 1.

ART: Young Kim http://yokiart.blogspot.com.br/2010/07/fire-elemental-v30-wip.html IDEA: Vangelios NOTES: Blaze Jaguar is more versatile creature, have it on the field and transforms it into a  firebold is an important advantage, however works well with monofire, in duo with aether, fractals and lightning also to prevent advances of opponents creatures. but his defense is weak, as are most of the creatures of fire, he can be slaughtered with ease. SERIES: Nope

tested this deck against false god only to realise I need to make a deck for false god not an anti-false god deck. took a long time cracking my head to make one before I realise I only need it to beat half blood. anyway,  it can beat some half blood and false god though. hope it can save trial overseer some time testing

Task III   completed

Spoiler for Hidden:

new card
kraken / dark kraken   => water could use some pc
envy /envy   => life could use some cc
repulsor / repulsor  => gravity could use a better in element shield.

bug fixed
pvp duel bug is fixed
pvp desynch is addressed
dissipation shield and sanctuary is fixed
purify and reflective shield is fixed
AI discarding whole hand is fixed

new features
new quest is available
=> after defeating false god, the reward is increased for consecutive false god defeat. currently the income generated from false god is much lesser compared to arena. * not talking about selling upgraded cards but the electrum earned as a whole. fighting false god is challenging as well. so it should not lose out to platinum arena*

reward is given for each level up
=> currently the only difference in level up is extra points for arena. for such determination to level up, a rare or certain amount of electrum could be given.

auto screenshot
=> there should be a feature to screenshot instead of using the normal website. during tournaments and etc, it takes a long time to wait for opponent screeenshot. if there is a feature to instantly screenshot, it could save a lot of time especially when desynch is about to occur

pvp duel turned off
=> in events like war, tournaments, it is common for others to spectate on each other. with the feature to turn off spectate, players can safely test or play deck against other people without fearing others are watching

half blood mark is x2
i think it is still balanced this way

thumbs down is removed from arena.
=> to me it does not serve any purpose. most players just thumb down anyway. perhaps if a higher ranking player lose to your arena deck, then the points increased more, or after a few days , your deck gain more points by winning. this work better

when you earned a special spin, you definitely receive either a weapon or a shard and you can choose
=> the jackpot system is ridiculous


balancing
Shard of focus turns into a black hole after using active skills twice
Shard of Wisdom increases attack by 3
Discord cost increased to 4
Bonewall now starts with 6 charges
Butterfly Effect cost reduced by 1
Leaf Dragon does not cost anything but retain its skills
Miracle cost now reduced by 1
Flooding/Inundation does not drain water quanta
Thunderstorm has  50% chance to deal 2 damage to any creature
Parasite cost decreased to 1

NINJA SUBMISSION

Task I

Spoiler for Replacement:

This card replaces Thorn Carapace. "Fail to attack" includes Sundial, frozen creatures, delayed creatures, attacks which are blocked, missed or absorbed and any attacks by creatures with 0 HP. Does not include attacks which target a Gravity Pulled creature, or creatures with negative ATK (unless it fails due to Sundial or the like). Each Carnivorous Fauna deals 1 damage to any creatures which fail to attack.

Thorn Carapace aims to be a weak form of CC for Life. Unfortunately, many of its strongest synergies are with other shields or rely upon life's ever-apparent weakness of CC not to be around and in many cases is simply an inferior card to the similar Fire Shield (which is often better simply due to the abundance of other fire CC). This keeps with the theme of reactive damage, but because it is no longer a shield allows for much greater flexibility.

Carnivorous Fauna appear to be ankle to knee height plants. Many creatures travel through them without realising the danger they may find themselves in, but if one stands still they might notice a faint numbing of their feet, only to look down and realise they're being eaten alive. If one keeps moving, however, the Fauna will lack the necessary time to attack its prey.

Spoiler for New Card:

Wait, what just happened?

Each creature is struck with a minor case of amnesia. They essentially forget about an attack they made, as do each of the players. This works well if your opponent's creatures are poisoned, your creatures are delayed or if you have devourers (or some other quanta-producing creature) out on the field. Because they've attacked and had a turn they've forgotten about, their abilities are refreshed - including creatures which were played earlier that turn.

With a Carnivorous Fauna on the field, this card becomes a Thunderstorm per Carnivorous Fauna, so if you've got 3 in play it's as strong as a Fire Storm.
