Spelling error in the poll; the word you want is 'which'. Witch is an old lady that does magic.

Mitosis isn't meant to rush IMO, it is meant to overwhelm. To do this you should proceed in two steps. First you multiply a creature which generate quanta (brimstone, pest, damselfly, Gem-finder, RoL) then you multiply your big hitter (generally a dragon). In between you can use your excess of life to play feral bonds (which synergise really good with swarms) and you excess of whatever else to play explosion/buckler, steal/dusk, EQ/diamond or Luciferin/Hope.

For example, the following Pestosis deck is one of my favourite grinder in Platinum at the moment. This decks beats a Pestal (even play by the AI), mono aether and most stalls. It is just purely destroyed by a rainbow strategy with early CC. It obviously has weaknesses as it should and strengths as it should.

An adaptable card which goes well with several cards in-element and plenty others off-element. It doesn't need any buff IMO.

fractal gives you the ability to place a card you already have on the field again, this does the same but can be countered easier (lobtomitize or cc) in exchange for price
no buff, it works how it should

[ralouf]

I wish the cost can be reduced without making the card OP. I voted for that option.

[gjhh]

Nothing wrong with mitosis, and I think it is more ment for eather low cost cards or later in the game when you have lots of pillers out.

Okay, I realise there is already a topic for this one, but I think having a person that is actually active in charge of the poll would be better than hoping one of the admins will fix it, when really, they shouldn't have to.



I got an idea while reading the Druidic Staff 'Buff this card' thread. My proposed change would be more a buff to the elemental weapons, but it changes this card, so I'm sticking it here.



BTW vrt, I didn't full appreciate your art until it was full-size on my computer screen. I love it <3

So basically, it can now target the elemental weapons, but no creature. Help on wording is appreciated.

From what I understand, there was a really over-powered deck that involved Long Swords, and that is why Mitosis was nerfed to only be able to target creatures. However, this hurt synergies like with Druidic Staff, that I don't recall as being totally OP. Firstly, it takes 3 cards to set up, and a slow start. It also requires constant pumping of quanta, unless you use SoR, which makes it a 4-card combo, and there are many better synergies with Mitosis and SoR. And it's not just with Druidic staff. I cannot think of a single elemental weapon that would be OP with Mitosis.

One drawback with this Buff, is that Malignant Cell and SoFo can no longer be targeted by Mitosis. But is this really necessary? MC already has a built-in mitosis, and SoFo is already OP, and has many better synergies.

So, all in all, I believe that Mitosis should be able to target weapons. If I have missed something, please do not hesitate to point it out.

I've also added the old suggestion for Mitosis to the poll, just in case anyone wants it.

I second this. and -1 cost too

[Shantu]

A simple -1 cost buff [for both] would be enough in my opinion.

Decreasing only the upped cost makes no sense. 

[whatifidogetcaught?]

Decreasing only the upped cost makes no sense. 

Gravity Shield has 2 less quanta upped than unupped. It seems to make no sense, but it is still a buff.

Oh nvm somehow I thought upped meant unupped my bad.

[skyironsword]

Or we can just nerf longsword.
