POLL : What card from the Armory would you like to see in the Game? (On Hiatus)

[EvaRia]

I completely missed this poll.

I would obviously have voted for Pierce

[ZephyrPhantom]

so...bump?

I was working on it, I was busy with other things so I was held down a bit. 

There have been two cards that won the poll - Slow and Dual Shield, so I used the RNG to determine the winner, who is shown below.

Overview
Ever wondered how interesting it would be to have two shields in play at once, but can't try it because of how the game works? Dual Shield (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,9282.0.htmll) by $$$man expands upon this idea by turning your weapon slot into a shield slot.

General Use

• It's a spell that drains all quantum when used, similar to Fractal, Sky Blitz, and Miracle.
• Your weapon slot is converted into a shield slot, so you cannot play weapons.  However, on the flipside, you may now have 2 shields out at once.
• With shield effects, the shield on your left (your original shield slot) triggers it's effects first.

Stats

Synergies

If you're not careful, you'll end up missing something that's coming straight at you! Fog Shield is a cheap but very effective shield in the game, and is well-known for it's "haxx"-like luck in blocking entire waves of attacks with just a 40% chance to successfully block an attack. When stacked with most shields, it's very helpful as it can prevent entire attacks rather than just triggering a denial effect or less damage when creatures damage you.

Today is a day for taking what you want, but not by force.  Trick - then treat! Have an extra shield slot, but no shield to use it with? With Steal, not only can you retain the denial power of the shield you already have in play, but add on your opponent's shield to your defense.

Offense really is the best defense this time around. Fire Shield is well known for being an effective CC shield, killing off creatures rather than guarding yourself. However, this shield also benefits if another shield is played - attacking creatures always trigger your original (left) shield first, so with some careful ordering you can kill creatures off while shrugging off damage at the same time - or you could stack another Fire Shield, Thorn Carapace (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/cards-life/thorn-carapace-spine-carapace/), or Skull Buckler (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/cards-death/skull-shield-skull-buckler/) to make a wall of death.

Other Cards With Synergy

• Nova (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/cards-entropy/nova-supernova/) - A good way to get a cheap source of quantum for other elemental shields to play.
• Tower Shield (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/cards-other/shield-tower-shield/) - A nice and rapid source of defense - two Tower Shields will net you a total of 4 damage reduced each hit, with it's playing cost easily paid by the aforementioned Nova or Quantum Pillars.
• Generally, a combination of two shields that work well together (For example, use Skull Shield with a Solar Buckler (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/cards-light/solar-shield-solar-buckler/) - the Skeletons created will do zero damage even if they are upgraded, and at the same time fuel the Solar Shield's generation.) Be creative!
  

So thanks for voting and viewing this card idea!I wonder how fun it would be to put 2 Dusk Mantles together... *evil laugh*

Slow | Stop (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,14124.0.html) tied with this card in the polls.
You can click on the card for more info.
Notes:
-Special Thanks to Scaredgirl and Kuroaitou for the Original Featured Cards Format and Essence for the fortunes.
-And we're back to Creatures! Vote for the creature you think would be best in the game! (We've gotten a lot more creatures recently though in the armory... I may change the category of the poll after this one to something different in order to get a smaller group of cards to vote on. ^^;)

uh, why not just do a write up for both?

It takes a good chunk of time/energy for me to do one, and I'm worried if I have to write multiple card reviews in one post it will begin to look like a wall of text that may discourage people from reading.

[moomoose]

using a rng to pick a 'winner' kinda wipes out the people who voted for the other card.  and being honest, i would probably have made the same point had the other card on the short end of the stick

Ugh...
I probably should've started a tiebreaker poll in that case, but I was stressed and acted a little more hastily than I normally would. Next time around I'll use a short tiebreaker poll to determine the winner.

Should I still try to write an article for Slow | Stop? I'm not sure if I'm in the condition to do it, but I can try...

[moomoose]

if its a big chunk of time/effort, dont worry about it, it would just be nice to be noted as an equal winner sans writeup moreso than an honorable mention (usually the title for the one that didn't actually have a share of the win).  just putting the image/link to thread at the bottom of the post would be pleasing

Ok then, thanks for understanding. Altered the description text slightly and added the Slow | Stop image at the bottom of the thread.

Still hoping against hope that Alpha Wolf will one day see the light of day in-game... 8)

[Time_lord_victorius]

I cant stop voting for alpha wolf, it's just too good a card!

[moomoose]

common skinners pigreon, you crazy, crazy bird!

edit- or mana worm, mama loves you too.

[Time_lord_victorius]

a great combo with dual buckler is... jade shield and thorn carapace! why? blocks 3 dmg/creature, blocks spells on you and jade shield cannot be taken! worrying about thorn carapace? you run ! PA it! easy win!
