Not that I remember.

But I understand. I would vote Against a percentage increase. I'm just saying, it is actually very close to what I said was the average, when Colorless said I was wrong.

Hey now.

First of all, I'm actually just trying to contribute some information that was lacking from the thread here. Second of all, if you go back and read what I said, I didn't say you were wrong overall about the average (though I'm not conceding you're right here either, I just haven't done the math on it), what I said was "here's a few examples of decks where it triggers a lot more than twice per battle on average". My point about that was that it does well against certain classes of decks (which happen to be rather common decks in a few different metas) and a card doesn't have to be good against everything.

edit: While I'm at it, "the RNG hates you" is an argument that's valid over 10 games but not over 100,000, which is what we should be balancing for. I expect that over enough games I'd see lava golems die on their first turn almost exactly half of the time (unless the rate has changed and I didn't notice like I said before.)

How about increase upped cost to 5 : block 2 points of damage, but still create upgraded skeletons?

That way they can't harm you. ^_^
