[Official] Shard of Integrity | Shard of Integrity

[eaglgenes101]

This card is balanced with a large number of shards. But all the decks with it have large numbers of shards. Why? Because SoI is nearly unsplashable!
Honestly, who would play 5 quanta to get a 1|4 creature with burrow?

Here's my suggestion:

The golem cost (as in the card that now costs 8 ) should be 2*(Number of shards in shard golem) .

Some other suggestions:

Large Golems are created but Small Golems are not. [Y=3X-12]
Buff the initial Golem and reduce the increase per additional shard. [Y=2X]
(equations used to give a graphical representation of the alteration. Not meant to give explicit values)

Ideally latter Shards would have an option of being added (to a max of a full golem)

Here's my suggestion:

Golem base stats have +1|+1 more. For each status that a golem has gained from shards (Momentum, Immortality, Adrenaline, etc.), it loses -1|-1.

The golem cost (as in the card that now costs 8 ) should be 2*(Number of shards in shard golem) .

And a lot of smaller suggestions:

Spoiler for Hidden:

• 2 SoW should give the spell damage skill.
• 4 SoW should give the skill : lobotomize
• 5 SoW should give the skill : immortality
• 6 SoW should give the skill : immortality
• 2 SoV should give the skill : lycanthropy
• 1 SoSa should give the passive undead.
• 2 SoSa should give the passive mummy.
• 3 or more SoSa should give the passive poisonous.
• 2 SoSa should give the skill : poison
• 4 SoI should give the skill : earthquake
• The Fiery skill should be reworked to be based on for the shard golem.
• 2 or 3 SoF should give the skill acceleration.
• 4 SoF should give the skill overdrive.
• 3 or 4 SoG should give the skill that Druidic Staff has.
• 3 or 4 SoD should give the skill : divineshield
• 4 SoR should give the skill : reverse time
• 2 or 3 SoR should give the passive swarm.
• 4 or more SoR should give the passive obsession.
• 4 SoP should give the skill : freeze.
• 5 SoP should give the skill : congeal.

Ever tried it in a full-shard PSNbow? Like, a 22|20 immortal creature on turn2, or similar?
At the cost of your hand, naturally.

It is balanced.

I think what he's trying to say is to not make the card so extreme, as in:

Incredibly weak without a hand full of Shards.
vs
Incredibly powerful (usually first/second turn) with a deck/hand full of Shards.

[makapse]

being able to select which shards will be used to make the golem is also nice.

What. I think the card is balanced. The card feels like a pretty forced combo, but it's quite balanced imo.

I want to bring this up again now that I have this:
