You know, reverse time does just destroy it and reverse time is extremely popular. Instanrt death to so many creatures is catastrophic and too hard a counter. Would making it immune to reverse time make it overpowered though...

But now after trying out the deck again, I just found that my ealier success was a fluke of luck. With its extremely high cost, its too hard to create a good synergy.

It does need to have its cost reduced.
I also meant to mention that. You require a decently large amount of water and grav, and a lot of fire to run it.

Yeah I agree with you. I once had a Fallen Druid and and Elite Otyugh and my oppenent, a half-blood, used a Chimera and nearly killed me the next turn but I mutated it and then I devoured it. The Chimera had 20+ attack and 40+ defence.
Chimera i guess is good for if you have alot of Malignant Cells or Skeletons or anything that's 1|1. That way, if they Plague or Firestorm or Lightning storm you, you dont suffer great losses.
Or, if your about to win and you have all these great creatures out, you could play the Chimera for a little fun and see how much damage and defence you can get.
I one had a 108|156 Chimera.

Irts pice does need a reduction in my opinion. I think it could be incredibly useful, but it doesn't justify a cost of eight, a cost off four would be better in my opinion, making it a perfectly balanced and valuable card.

Nearly everyone is right by saying there's tooo many counters. My opinion.

If it gets countered you're playing it wrong. I don't think I've ever played a Chimera and not won on the same turn.

The problem with it is that it's a win-more card. It's basically only ever usable if you're already winning the game.

It can win you a game against a Hope, Wings, Phase Shield lock that you were losing.

I don't like absolutes. :)

I can think of dozens of possible uses if it was just cheapened.

I said basically. My statement wasn't meant to be an absolute. I do think that it's generally true though.

As it now stands, perhaps. But cheapen it and I see it becoming a very valuable card. I think its ussage as a finishing card would be next to null.

No. You play it when you're being cut off from winning to get the last push that allows you to win. Usually you were winning at some point, but not necessarily in a winning position due to shields.
