[Official] Anubis | Elite Anubis

[wizelsnarf]

Anubis is a fine card that you will occasionally see in play.

The Aether nymph is a mono so you can't compare it.

The only real "issue" I have with anubis is how much it cost to play it. The problem is you have to get the quanta, play it, quint itself and then go on to quint what you wanted in the first place.


In any case, it is a way cheaper way to get quint in a big rainbow and it sees use there.


The only reason the card seems weak now is because of Ghost of the Past.

Anubis WAS time's mid range attacker (not that he saw a lot of action in that capacity) but now he has more valuable competition.

In the end I think it could stand to stay as it is. If people want to buff, just decreasing the card cost should be sufficient.

Anubis is just fine as a card.  The only problem is Quintessence, which is better than both Aether Nymph and Anubis.

My solution:  Change Quintessence to have a different effect and Anubis will see some use again.

QFT. There aren't enough effects which I know how to use to emphasise that.

Quintessence is uncounterable. There is no delay, in which you could react and nullify the threat. It was a slap in the face for control decks everywhere.
There were 11 original alchemy cards. Make the 12th an original idea for aether, and surprise, Anubis sees use, the game becomes more balanced, and we get a cool new card.

You just had to start the 'debate' there, my cookies comment seems stupid and irrelevant, intstead of a discussion of human fragility, the various beauties of nature and modern literature and scripture, and it's effects on today's scoceity - which is /so/ was.

i don't think the Anubis needs any new abilities. all i think should happen is it's health and attack lowered (this is because, wielding the ability to make itself nearly invulnerable, it really does not need to be that tank like), and it's price reduced substantially (perhaps to cost only 4 or 5 or something). this will make it HUGELY more usable while avoiding making it OP. also i saw (and see) no reason to have that much health or attack as it was hardly gonna be used in  a rush or anything.

[cookiepirate]

anubis the idea is pretty strong
but 8  ?
i voted for less cost, me thinks 6 should be just right

[killybob]

yeah. you do want anubis to be placed on the field pretty quickly to protect your important creatures. if the cost were lowered then the card would become considerably more usable in rainbows as well.

i really like to see anubis revamped with a new ability like a posted earlier. it needs to follow the fact that...he is a god. a god of death. also i can't stop noticing how death is having such a rework and more ideas and why people contribute to it more than lets say fire of time. but this ain't the question, the fact is that anubis needs either a new ability or a complete rework but no way do i want to see quintescence and aether nymph be touched because they are fine with me the way they are. quintescence is more useful at times, but when you got your quintescence, but cant play it because you've been silenced and there's impemding doom upon your win condition creature. here come aether nymph to the rescue (if you have it) but other wise you need anubis. but thing is , anubis is a big target for any deck to hit and destroy. therefore anubis needs a new job and aether nymph needs more health cuz she is honestly VERY frail

[Nadrin]

Stopping death affects: would this mean nothing dies? if so:

rage pots + fire dragons. I realize it would be a trio but.... You see my point, hopefully.

[TheIdioticIdiot]

actually, only quint does the job better (in most cases)
anubis beats the nymph by several miles...

[Nepycros]

My opinion is that this guy should be allowed to "Harbor" souls. Harbor: The next creature that dies adds half its attack to Anubis for one turn" sounds about right, don'cha think?

I'd at least like this to be in the polls, since it seems noone has even noticed it.

I think that you could just make him a mid-attack vanilla creature. Not a problem, right? Decent attack card, and one that would certainly need a cost reduc...

Just an opinion.

[Siweisun]

This card needs a buff, since the nymph is mono and does it way better. Also, the art might need to be changed; why is he holding a golden posiden?

what have you been smoking lately?
anubis > nymph...

nymph is mono? what is worth quinting in mono aether? phase recluse? I think I prefer to either TU or fractal it... (if you quint it, you can't do either)
anubis's ability costs less too... can run solely on just the mark

[Daytripper]

If you check the stats, this creature costs almost nothing. 5 attack, high HP, and an ability. It's the combination of everything that makes it expensive. Anubis is a natural target. People play it for the ability, so of course they don't want to pay that amount of  for it if there is a risk it gets hit.

The high HP makes perfect sense. It needs to make it through the first turn, and you don't want to die early by a shield either. So I see 2 ways to solve it, but it's no real buf.

Take the ability off and reduce cost, and make it a plain attacker. (Too bad if you ask me)

Lower attack and the cost accordingly, (-2 or -3) so people play it for the ability without the risk of a big loss.
