MINE DWARF

Description
Mine Dwarf comes with the ability Ambush: Gain +2|+0 and deal I damage to a random creature after a successful attack (the upgraded version deals 2 damage instead). Even though the ability does not require Earth quanta it was intentionally placed to that element, not only for themical reasons, but also because we found Earth really lacks such a card and could benefit from a couple of combative dwarves

There are many possibilities to use "Mine Dwarf" not only in Earth-mono-decks, but - especially to the fact that no Earth quanta is needed for his ability - also in duo- or trio-decks.
Army of dwarfes: in our example-deck we wanted to emphasize the usage of our new card by combining it with adrenalin and mitosis to send a whole army of fierce dwarves to the field.. be sure they will wildly hit the enemies with their axes and fight to the death

(* The relics are intended as placeholders for our card.)

Lore
The Dwarves are an ancient people who live underground in mines of their own construction. Their size is a poor indicator to their massive strength – they can lift small boulders with one hand while using a pickaxe to bring down a wall of rock with the other. The Dwarf’s love of mining comes in handy, as their diet mainly consists of certain rocks (though they love Behemoth meat when they can get their hands on it).
They lived undiscovered for millennia, until one day when a young Elemental who’d recently set out to travel the world stumbled upon one of the caves. When the Elemental realised the large amounts of precious jewels that the Dwarves had collected, he ran back to his village and told them of the news.
So the village got together a group to go and fetch the jewels, not bothering to take more than a dagger each because they believed it was going to be easy taking the fortune from the weak creatures that hoarded it. They were not prepared for the ferocity that the Dwarves retaliated with, and as a result almost all of them were slaughtered, while only a few Dwarves died and the treasure stayed where it was.
The tale of the Dwarves travelled throughout the lands with the help of the few survivors. Many soldiers decided to try their luck at winning some of the jewels for themselves, forcing the Dwarves to train themselves for battle. As a result the Dwarves became a feared people throughout the world, because nobody has ever gotten past them.
Many fear that the Dwarves will one day venture above ground and wreak havoc in the world, but that day has yet to come.
For now…

SENTINEL

Description

The effect stacks with multiple copies of Sentinel.
Has Passive: Vigil

Vigil grants Sentinel the skill Shield when no shield is in play and removes only the skill Shield when a Shield enters play.

If Sentinel is given any other skill (through Mitosis, Liquid Shadow, etc.) at any point while it's in play,
Vigil ignores Shield status and leaves the current skill untouched.

Its ability to consistently push attack damage down presents a healthy synergy with aether, as it can become an almost impenetrable defense.
Also, Sentinel's ignorance to most CC is unquestionably its key quality.

Further remind yourself of its synergy with rage potions and think of the countless combinations its endurance/stamina has to offer on
the battlefield.

I have chosen this deck to represent Sentinel because it takes advantage of its ability Vigil and fully represents what it is capable of. I chose a stall deck because,
due to Sentinel's lack of attack points, it struggles to rush and you will deck out before it inflicts enough damage. The Sentinel-Mitosis combo reflects how Vigil reacts
with other active abilities. This is formidable in game because a 20+ block shield will halt most onslaughts. This deck is a life/earth duo version of Ray of Light/Hope
which is already well known as a False God killer. The advantage the deck has over Ray of Light/Hope is that sentinels are CC resistant.
However, with this advantage comes a disadvantage; this combo is slower to set up than Ray of Light/Hope.

Lore
I am cursed, forced to stand still. I can't breathe. Don't forget who you are.
The moment you forget is the moment you lose. My name is Kaz and I will never forget. They say I am dead. They are wrong.

I am alive, I think. How do you know for sure? I would ask someone, but I cannot speak.
I cannot move, I cannot breathe. All I can do is wait. I will wait.

I am alive, I think. But how can I know for sure? I do not, that is the problem.
Well, at least I have an eternity to think about it.

My name is Kaz. I will never forget. Why am I here? I almost forgot. I should not forget.
You only lose yourself when you don't know. I remember her eyes, the Moon, and the Red Dawn.

They say I am dead. They are wrong. Because I can feel. A light breeze, where does it come from?
Where am I? I should not forget. The Moon... I remember her eyes were like the moon.

My name is Kaz. I can feel. I am alive and they are wrong. I am cursed. I cannot move and I cannot speak.
The moment I forget is the moment I lose. But I will never lose. Stones do not bleed.

I will never lose her. I feel. A light breeze. Where does it come from? Where am I? I remember. The cave.
I am the cave. I am stone. My name is Kaz and I will never forget. The moment I do is the moment I lose her. I cannot lose her.

I am stone. Stones do not bleed. Stone does not sleep. Stone does not breath. I cannot breath. I am alive.
Stones cannot die. The Red Dawn cannot take me.

This breeze, where does it come from? I remember the cave, the Moon, her eyes, the Red Dawn. I am stone. I am here to protect.
It is not a curse, it is a blessing. I feel the wind in my face. I will never forget who I am.

My name is Kaz. I remember now, I remember everything. I remember my oath. I swore to protect. I remember her eyes, our kiss in the moonlight, and
I remember the monster who tried to take it all away from me. I could not let that happen. So, now I am stone. I am monster-proof.
I stand still. I watch. And when the Red Dawn comes to take that which I love most, I fight.

I will never forget. My name is Kaz. I once stood still but not anymore.

Symbiotic Cuirass | Symbiotic Armor

Description
We bring to you reversible alterations. Each time this ability is activated it will remove the effects of the previous activation. So only one creature will be subjected to the protecting debuff at a time (per Symbiotic Cuirass on the field).
Interactions:
All forms of damage are reduced by the damage reduction. This includes but is not limited to:
Resist 2 damage from each attack (via Gravity Pull),
Resist 2 damage from each damaging spell (Rage, Lightning, Bolts...)
Resist 2 damage per turn from each per turn damage (Infection or Acceleration)

The second half of the effect is simple. When the creature is about to deal damage, the damage it is about to deal is cut in half round down. Damage Reduction (from shields or a protected creature) applies after damage is halved. Yes, this even reduced the amount of healing that an antimatter'd creature would deal.

Deck section
Mito Dilgo

This approach to use Symbiotic Cuirass to its full potential aims for the combo of Equipped Armagio. Not only will the Armagio be very well protected, but the equipment can also be used to nerf opposing dragons. E.g. an equipped Dragon with originally 10 attack will only deal 3 (= 10 / 2 - 2) damage to the Armagio. This results in an amazing stall potential against many creature based decks.
As little fail-save, I also added a Charger to the deck, that can be mito'ed for a kill.

Lore
When the hordes of Fire first came to the peaceful forests of Life, the situation was an unimaginable disaster. All around lay unburied bodies of heavily roasted animals and smoking stumps which once were trees. Shivers, screams and the cries of the innocents were all that filled the air. No more did the birds sing in the trees or the insects chirp below.

The druids, seeing such unfathomable destruction, fell into madness and descended to the chambers of chaos or tried in vain to save at least some part of Life. To hide it where the cruel hordes of Fire could not find it or make an artifact which could stop the conflagration.

Freuz, the son of Ferox and greatest of the druids, had made an armor. The armor, which granted him resistance to every form of attack imaginable, was bonded to his own power. With a silent pact, by grace of Light, the hordes were stopped.

The unfortunate piece of the redemption was that Freuz and his impervious armor were lost in the battle. A dark claw of smog (some source says a dark, living shadow, clearly hunting for the Divine Glory) came down and engulfed Freuz. The druids were really close to each other, but for unknown reason, only Freuz went missing. The retreat of the blazing phoenixes made everything obscured. When the thick fog scattered, everything had come to an end.

The place of Freuz’s legacy is still unknown and there were many segments missing after the fight but the armor is still hidden somewhere. Countless attempts were made to replicate the armor, but even the finest copy of the armor could not compare to the original. The druids who forged them passed with the years, but the legend of their craftsmanship lives on. These symbiotic entities are very useful and, due to the countless attempts of the ancient druids, they are not that rare to find on a wild creature. Although it would be absurd to think that the carrier gives it to you voluntarily. They are slightly resistant to damage, forming to the body of their host, but without the natural bond, they can’t resonate with the carrier as well as Freuz' armor. As a consequence the imperfect bond slows its host.

Many creatures now take advantage of these relics of the past. The most notable usage is by the gigantic armagios. These gravity giants have made an almost impenetrable defense with the aid of these symbiotic armors.

Pua’im Kseit

Description

Random ability list is same as the list for Mutants.
Delay does not stack

Note: The Relics are meant to represent the Meditation Pool.

The Meditation Pool is meant mostly to give your creature useful abilities, however the delay effect of it can also be used defensively. In this particular deck, since you are using Shard Of Patience to build up your creature strength, the delay effect doesn't particularly matter when used on your own creatures. It can also act as a soft lobo against non rainbow decks, or you can use it against a rainbow and hope for a weak ability, freezing it with the squid or lobotomizing with Mind Flayer if the ability is too good.

Lore
Excerpts from the Pool of Meditation arcticle, Encycopaedia Elementia

The Pool of Meditation, also known by its original name, Pua’im Kseit, is the most recently discovered Lai’mine hidden temple. Though rumors of its existence have persisted for centuries, it was not found until the year 1136 by the Kröss-Hicklebaum expedition. Situated at a high altitude on the South-East end of Chkotka Forest, the almost unreachable location and high density of surrounding foliage might have contributed to its late discovery. The Pool of Meditation is noted for being one of the most well preserved hidden temples, perhaps only surpassed in this aspect by the Light Sanctuary of Inokseit. The existence of such hidden temples is frequently cited as an evidence of the mistrust the Lai’mine had for humans, even before the war and subsequent Lai’mine genocide. (…)
(…) Though the Lai’mine imprint is very clear, several architectural styles appear to coexist. As it’s been pointed out, this could mean that the location has been considered important and even sacred for a very long time, and perhaps by different groups of people. (…)
(…) While the true purpose of this temple was a source of heated debate at the time of its discovery, nowadays scholars agree that the pool was a source of elemental power for the Lai’mine. Even though the elemental alignment of this structure is not fully understood, the cryptic messages engraved in the walls appear to display water and time related symbols more prominently. Repeated mentions of creatures and other elements make further conclusions difficult (…)
(…) Magic activity on the pool has been reported on occasions by initiated elementalists. The listed effects are varied, but the general consensus is that upon long meditation the pool allows behavioral influence on summoned creatures for a short period of time. It has been noted that secondary effects can take place as well. Still, the veracity of these reports have been repeatedly questioned, since explorers and visitors frequently show signs of disorientation or confusion after prolonged exposure to the pool. This represents an obstacle to studies of the exact nature of the pool’s magic (…)

Hellhound

Description

Hellhounds often are assigned to guard the entrances to the world of the Dead, such as graveyards and burial grounds, or undertake other duties related to the afterlife or the supernatural, such as hunting lost souls or guarding supernatural treasure. In European legends, seeing a Hellhound or hearing it howl could be either an omen of death or a cause of death. Other interpretations suggest Hellhounds as creatures of fire birthed from lava and brimstone.

I combined the best of both.

"Undying" is an old idea proposed by ZBlader that allows a creature to live at 0 HP, though it dies instantly if healed or has its HP increased. (Original Mechanic)
The result is a hardy creature that isn't necessarily powerful on its own, but is fantastic in packs--an attribute heavily associated with wolves and hounds.
- This dies normally to Immolation as that is a sacrifice and does not affect HP directly.
- Fantastic synergy with most Death cards as this can generate death effects very effectively.
- Adrenaline will cause the effect of "Marked for Death" to occur multiple times. One damage per attack.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

Deck import code : [Select]

111 111 111 111 111 111 71a 71a 71b 71b 71b 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dm 7dm 7dm 7dm 7dr 7dr 7dr 7dr 7f2 7f2 7f2 7f2 7f2 7f2 7f2 7f2 8pk

??? = Hellhound

Thanks to the Hellhound’s synergy with both Death and Fire, this deck has both a great offense and defense.

To make full use of its ‘Marked for Death’ ability, there are several Explosions to deal with shields, so it always can attack successfully. The Explosions also will allow the Arsenic to stay unblocked, making sure that its poison damage weakens the opponent further.

The Bone Walls are there to make even more use of the Hellhound's ability to kill creatures. Its ability will feed the Bone Wall while decreasing the number of enemy creatures, leaving you with an excellent defense.

Because of the Hellhound's secondary ability, ‘Undying’, it doesn’t die from normal damage, making it an excellent target for Rage Elixir. It will increase the damage output while leaving the Hellhound unscathed.

In short, every card in the deck works with every other to make a powerful Death/Fire deck which can destroy creatures and permanents alike.

Lore

The idyllic valleys around Mount Aloka'an reminded one of Paradise--most of the time.

The local villagers had learned to build their huts away from the channels where lava flowed once every 20 years. From the Hounds, however, there was no escape.

The Hellhounds of Mount Aloka'an sprang forth directly from the lava. The villagers believed that demons sent the dogs as punishment, hence the name. The Hounds reeked of brimstone, which made sense; the bowels of the volcano overflowed with it. Nevertheless, the odor only further convinced the villagers of the Hellhounds' origin, as did the fact that they always dissolved into the earth when the lava cooled and turned black.

The Hounds' most obvious trait was their teeth, each as long as a man's hand and razor-sharp. Drawing strength from the mountain itself, a single Hellhound could mutilate a bull in under a minute. The unified pack could decimate a farmer's entire herd before he targeted even one Hound with his crossbow--not that the crossbow would have helped. Attacking Hellhounds only made them stronger, in defiance of their unnaturally frail stature. Despite their endless reserves of strength and speed, the dogs always looked as though they would crumble into dust at any moment.

Perhaps the most surprising attribute of the Hounds of Aloka'an was their colour. Unlike the bright red lava that spawned them, every Hellhound had fur as black as coal. No one knew why. No one really cared, as long as the pack spared them. For that matter, the victims didn't care much, either.

The worst fates befell those whom the Hounds marked for Death. If one of them howled at a hut's door, the people inside lost all hope. The lone Hound entered the hut with the force of all its brothers. Somehow, the howl attracted the might of every bite from every Hound, giving the one the strength of the full pack. Even in quiet years, ordinary wolves made the villagers tremble.

During the third attack under King Helzert's reign, the village marksman lodged a crossbow bolt in a Hellhound's shoulder. The shaman's naïve but well-meaning apprentice healed the Hound, and the dog instantly vanished in a puff of smoke--a discovery the villagers happily exploited. Twenty years later, the villagers made a large donation to the Monks of Delthanoth, who journeyed five days to Aloka'an. When the volcano erupted, the monks cast healing spells on the Hounds as they approached the village. This arrangement profited both parties for 320 years, until The Great Eruption produced so many Hellhounds that only the Grand Monk and six other brothers survived. Even after rebuilding the order, the monks never returned.

Eventually, the earthquakes that accompanied the eruptions collapsed the caldera. Today, the volcano slumbers, Aloka'an City surrounds the once violent peak, and the Hounds exist only as stories told to unruly children. Though the mountain rests, the forces below it do not. The Hellhounds of Mount Aloka'an lie quietly, patiently awaiting the day when lava again rushes from the abyss.

Forum expert task

Improving an Event.

aka. Moar Repeated Icons!

I chose Duels of Honor. At the time it was running, I found it particularly interesting. In my mind I envisioned long series of duels, where more and more restrictions meant more and more creativeness regarding deckbuilding. At the time, I didn't have enough free time to join.
I asked some of the former participiants to provide feedback on the event, particularly about the aspects they thought were lacking. Based on their feedback and some of my own ideas, I propose the following additions or changes to the event.

Spoiler for Flavour text:

The first idea is the addition of a theme. It helps players by giving an "outline" or "focus" to the whole event, while also providing appeal to them. A good theme is at least as important than an interestig set of rules.
The theme I propose is a Japanese, samurai-based one. This is because the theme of two samurai dueling has an emphasis on the "honor" part as well as on the "duel" part. The concept is two samurai dueling with swords. They try to cut each other, and the one who manages to do so willingly gives some advantage to his opponent. (This is reflected mechanically by the opponent changing his/her deck and banning a card.) As the duel goes on, both duelers get cut so their mobility and swordfightning abilities get worse (mimicked by the decreasing number of unbanned cards). In the end, one dueler will die "a death of a thousand cuts".

The next idea is to implement some changes into the ruleset itself. Tried-and-true decks or deck archetypes were too abundant in the previous event. As I examined the posted decks that were used in the event, I found more or less the same deck types we see everyday. The otherwise interesting ruleset allows for truly unique and creative decks to appear, but players must be forced to "think outside of the box" for that to happen.
One method for achieving this simply would be to make the matches longer (as in more duels). This could be achieved by increasing the number of consecutive wins needed to 3, at least through round 4. I think that longer matches were the original intent of the event, but going through the match reports I see many 2, 3, and 4 duel-long matches. Needing more wins means playing more duels, which in turn means more banned cards, so there is less and less room for players to use well-known deck archetypes.
Of course, a required winning streak of 3 means that the matches may never end, so it would make sense to reduce the number of wins to 2 after a number of certain rounds have passed. Something like this can be seen in the ongoing event Budokan, where the required number of "Champions" a squad needs is reduced over time.
Another idea that could enforce more creative deckbuilding is to disallow the changing of the marks. That way the players would have to build different types of decks, but with the same mark every time.

One thing that is generally important is to not let the duels last very long. After a certain time the duels just become uninteresting, and the players won't have the motivation to fight through a tedious number of rounds.
I think that an average number of 5-7 duels is interesting while not too taxing on the players. Having to win 3 duels in a row at the beginning and decreasing it to 2 after round 4 could be an effective way to ensure this.

Yellow text is edits

Spoiler for edited rules:

Metamorphosis - Rules
Original idea by: EvaRia | Developed by: EvaRia | Organized by: EvaRia | Edited by: nelde59

Using unupgraded decks, players will race to be the first to morph through every mark in the game in this highly strategic duel-based event. Every match their decks will gradually evolve, until it completely changes.

1. Signing Up
Anyone with a forum and a chat account can sign up for this event. Start by reading the rules very carefully. Then sign up by posting on a separate sign up topic. If you cannot find a sign up topic, or if it is locked, this event is not currently active, and you will have to wait for it to restart.

Favoured amount of participants for this event is 32, 8 for each alignment.

2. Alignment and Starting Mark
When you sign up for the event, you must also pick an Alignment and Starting Mark.

There will be a separate Sign-Up Topic for each Alignment.
There the starting marks that you can choose from will be listed.
There will be 3 different marks from each alignment that you have to choose from and complete during the event.

Keep in mind that the Alignment you choose will only be for marks, you may still use cards from ANY element in your decks.

3. Building Your First Deck
Build a deck of any size (from 30 to 60 cards). You must use your Starting Mark for this deck. Your deck must consist of exactly 6 card Cells.
- A card cell is a group of the same amount of cards. For example, having 6 phoenixes in your deck makes it a size 6 Phoenix Cell.
- A group of pendulums or pillars also count towards these 6 Cells. Therefore, if you take 6 Emerald Pillars, you may only take 5 other Cells.
- You may use any non-upgraded cards in the game. Upgraded cards are not allowed.
- Be careful about what size you make your first deck. The size will not change much throughout the event.

Here is an example of what your first deck might look like:

Code: [Select]

4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vd 4vd 4vd 4vl 4vl 4vm 4vm 4vm 4vm 4vm 4vm 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7
Starting Mark: Life
Cell 1. 8 Amethyst Pillar
Cell 2. 3 Maxwell's Demon
Cell 3. 2 Discord
Cell 4. 6 Fallen Elf
Cell 5. 6 Emerald Pillar
Cell 6. 5 Adrenaline

(6 Cells, 30 cards total)

4. Preparation Stage

Before Round 1 is posted, all players must PM the deck they want to start with to the Organizer. This is to both confirm that your deck is legal, that you are active and ready to participate, and to confirm that you have a deck to start the game with. Once all decks have been confirmed, the event will start!

Keep in mind that once your deck has been confirmed you cannot change it.

5. Match-Ups

Match-ups in this event are randomly generated.
You will play against the other players in your Alignment.
Loosers of a game is eliminated.

6. Duels and Metamorphosis
Players have 5 days to make the fight happen. They must contact their opponent using a PM, and try to find a time that suits both. If the fight doesn't happen, both players lose by default, unless one player is clearly more active in trying to find a suitable time. Event organizer will determine who the most active player was, and his or her word is final.

Duels happen somewhat differently in this event. Instead of "Best out of" matches, the way to win a duel is to be the first to Metamorphose your deck.

-You must use the same mark throughout the round.

-When you win an individual match with your opponent, you must morph 2 of your Cells into different cards. For the example deck given above, you may choose to change the Discord Cell into a Thorn Carapace Cell of the same size (2), and the Maxwell's Demon Cell into a Horned Frog Cell (Size 3 each).

-After this, you may choose to add or remove one card from a Cell. In this case, I might add another Emerald Pillar. Note that you cannot remove a card from a Size 1 Cell.

-When you morph a cell, that card may not be used again until next round. To continue the example, I cannot use Discords or Maxwell's Demons for the rest of this round.

-The loser's deck remains the same.

-SAVE ALL YOUR DECK CODES, THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PROGRESS AND ALL DECKS MUST BE POSTED

-You win the game if during the period between individual matches, your next deck contains no Cells that are the same as what you started the round with. (In the same example again, if your next deck will have no Discords, Maxwell's Demons, Amethyst Pillars, Fallen Elves, Life Pillars, and Adrenalines), you win. You do not play with this END deck this round, instead you start the next round with it, equipped with a new mark from your alignment that you have yet to complete. The Mark you just used (Life in this case) is considered "Complete" when you win the round, and is added to your Completed Marks list. The fastest you can win a Duel is in 3 Matches, but depending on which Cells you choose to morph it may take more to win.

It's a good idea to either record the matches, or take screenshots as proof, in case something weird, like a desync error, happens. Remember, a player who gets caught cheating, will be permanently banned from all Elements community PvP events, so please play fair.

7. After Duels
Both the Winner AND Loser must post in the "Battle Results" Topic for that round.
Winner will post first, and the Loser post a reply to winner's topic.

The following information MUST be included:

-The Winner and Loser of the match
-Which mark you Metamorphosed to and from
-Every deck used in that round
-All (if any) changes made between each match
-A brief summary of each match (You must at least include whether you won or lost)
-Your END deck. (Again, the deck you will be using next round)
-A list of all your Completed Marks.

-Although your decks that you used during the round can obviously not be changed, you can edit your end deck as many times as you want until the topic is locked and the next round starts. This includes which mark you will start the next round with. (It still has to be legal though).

An example can be found here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=20325.msg275610#msg275610

Please read this example, as it may clear up some confusion, if any, you have about the rules of the event.

8. Byes, Drop-Outs, and Illegal Decks
If your opponent decides to drop out of the event, you will receive a bye.

Receiving a bye means you complete a random uncompleted mark (The organizer will tell you which) and start the next round with the same deck that you started the current round with.

If for some reason there ends up being an odd number of people in the event, then a random player will receive a bye in the same manner.

If your opponent uses an illegal deck, then the match will be replayed if there is time.
If there is not enough time to replay, the person who did not incur the infraction receives a bye. (You can't change decks if you don't replay! It's encouraged to try and replay the match if possible.)

If both players use an illegal deck, and there is not enough time to replay, Both loose. (A random player gets a bye next turn)

9. Winning the Event
- The person to "Complete" all 3 marks from their Alignment, and win the bracet, is the Champion of that side.

- When all four Champions have been decided, they have one final tournament.

- Final battles will be best 3 out of 5. You may use any unupgraded card in the game, and any mark from your Alignment. You may change your deck any point between duels. Winner of the final battle wins the event.

11. REWARDS
The winner of the event will receive this forum award icon:

Now that you have read the rules, READ THEM AGAIN!

Every point is important, and you may have missed something.

A HUGE "Thank You" to Chapuz for spending more than an hour with me tonight to attempt to get the Surf Ninjas' submission to behave properly, so that peeps wouldn't have to scroll back and forth. He recognized that it wasn't our fault, and he allowed me to reformat and resubmit. In the end, we couldn't get it to look like the other submissions, so our C-C-C-Combo task is the original one we submitted.

Just the same, Chapuz went above and beyond for us tonight, in the interest of fairness to all competitors. I believe I speak for all members of Team Surf Ninjas when I offer my deepest gratitude.
