[Official] Colossal Dragon | Massive Dragon

Unfortunately, HP doesn't mean enough. there's 1-3 (single normal cc), 4-5 (single tough cc), and 6 and up(highly resistant to CC). once you get above 6, most will just opt for CC that ignores HP (which I hate). Sure, some cards are slow drains, bolts can have multiple charges, overdrive, poison, etc. But right now you use >10 HP for three things primarily: GP, OD, or catapult. Armagio wins the first two, and flying titan gets the second.

Dragon needs momentum, to make it a combined Armagio and charger for more cost, or a significant attack boost, though I prefer option 1

I was thinking about how to make this card work in an arena deck I was making but didn't really see any way that it could be used that wasn't done better by something else. So I hunted around and came across this buff thread. I've come up with a couple of possible buffs, sorry if they've been mentioned already:

• A shield/Gravity Pull effect where the dragon absorbs 1 damage from each attacking creature (and weapon?)
• Give it acceleration as an ability
• Give it catapult as an ability
• Give it an ability that allows it to stop attacking and increase attack by +2 per turn or +2/-1 (upgraded could be +3/-1 per turn)
• Combine the shield and increased attack power abilities so you could stop the dragon atacking, it absorbs 1 damage per attacking creature and gains 2 attack per turn

Though I do think those are good suggestions, one of the things about dragons is that they (excluding Aether) do not have abilities... they are simply supposed to be hard hitters that cost a bit more than the average card. That's one of the reasons this card is argued to need a buff: Colossal Dragon ends up being expensive while having only 7 attack (as much as the Elite Sapphire Charger)

+1 attack and i think it will become more useful.

I definately think this DOESN'T need a buff. I think its good as is.

Please include reasons to support your assertions.

Compare
Colossal Dragon: 7|15 for 10 => 8|30 for 11
vs
Stone Dragon: 8|10 for 10 => 10|12 for 12 (Better stats then Colossal)
or
Armagio: 1|25 for 5 => 2|30 for 5 (Cheaper HP than Colossal)

A dragon is not fine when it REQUIRES a second card to be ANY good at all.

I find it quite useful, its resistance can be used with acceleration, catapult and gravity pull, besides being difficult to kill him, 3 lightning!,

With the same quanta, i can summon 2 Chargers. Which are 8 attacks, 2 Lightning resistant, and momentum.
Upgraded, i can use it to summon 14 attacks, 2 Lightning resistant, and Momentum as opposed to 8 blockable attacks but very tough. Once HP exceeds 15, there's little incentive to actually try and kill the creature.
EDIT: and an extra too.

It doesn't need a buff because it has so much HP. If you want to make it have 8 attack, and 10 attack upped, change it to 11 HP unupped and 13 HP upped.

edit: fixed my post

Is your definition of "Lightning resistant" something that gets killed by a single Lightning?

[Absol]

Erm. Should have rephrased that.
I mean, even if you kill one, the other will still do damage.
