I have been being told that fractal is getting nerfed. So if this card will get in all you need to do is use this card until you can use fractal .

Side rant: I hate comments like the above -- absolutely no offence, 7WM -- for a simple reason: they completely ignore the fact that you have to spend cardslots in your deck and quanta casting the Silence.  Fractal's nerf is stupid, but thinking that adding Silence to a Fractal deck will somehow make up for Fractal getting nerfed is just...just...

/me 's head explodes.

I have been agreeing with Essence a lot lately.  And I will continue here. 

Please:  Let's evaluate each card separately.  There will be future changes to existing cards, and new cards added, so simply evaluating the card as is in the current or foreseeable environment is all we can reasonably do.  But how does raising fractal's cost by 2 balanced out by requiring another card and another 2-3 quanta make up for anything?  This is flawed thinking IMO.

I think the word used in Final Fantasy 1 was MUTE.

Anyways, does anyone think the graphic looks like a piece of gum is holding the cards down.  I don't think this would be immediately obvious to new players and could cause a lot of confusion.  Perhaps some kind of half-transparent image could cover the whole hand area.

Could you elaborate on this? I don't understand it at all. Which graphic are you talking about? I have no idea what you mean by "a piece of gum is holding the cards down" and what do you mean by putting one image "on top of" the other? Elaborating in more detail or simpler terms would be great, as I'm curious to know what you meant.

ok, i am pretty sure that he meant the tiny bubble right next to ur opponent's mark when u cast silence, that's what he meant by the piece of gum thing
and what he suggests is a larger image covering to entire hand (tho the image has to half-transparent, because ur opponent might have to discard)

Exactly.

Ah, okay. I understand, now. I was looking at those two images literally, not even thinking about the orb that appears when Silence is cast.

..and remove all doubt.

I believe it was Mark Twain who said that.
