[Official] Shard of Patience | Shard of Patience

This card is still severely underpowered, Water has no good spammable creatures that get to the point where Flooding could be useful.

That's not the point.

[Selinea]

It's not very useful for water, but burrow +3 rounds, and then unburrow = +6 attack. Several non-forest scorpions + SoP is probably better than hoping to draw momentum/blessings. I think there's a lot of ways to combo this card, but not enough ways for this card to be useful to water. Maybe +4/+4 for any water creature while flood is in play, not just in a flooded area? Then you wouldn't have to try to spam creatures...

[swishy]

Though this isn't the case, when I first saw this I thought that it gave +4|+4 to any creature in a flooded area, not just ones. I was quite sad when my submerged malignant cells didn't really do much. Changing is to be like this would massively help flooding and alfatoxin, which are both very underused and underpowered.

Just saw some application of Shard of Patience in Arena, like buffing Elite Skeletons on a Death Poison Stall deck, it is quite scary to see the skeletons being buffed up gradually.  I think that the Shard is fine as it is now, as the benefit it gives to Water creature is immense.

Maybe it´s a silly idea, but, like SoF, why not give a water card when removed? Like Purify.

Or maybe do it depending of the turns since played SoP. More cards or a more powerful one every turn you wait to click and remove. Can be +1 Pillar/Turn waited, for example. It´s a bet, because PC exist. It would be a buff and I think It would be funny, too.

Thoughts?

All benefits need to be paid with a cost.
If we give a bigger benefit when it is destroyed then it will need a nerf to balance the buff.
There is no excuse to nerf the primary usage of SoP.

I agree with you, to me this shard is not UP, simply you need to find a good way to use it, as he said, if we increase the benefits then we will want to nerf the SoP 'cause someone will say that is OP

[esran]

this card definitely is UP in my opinion. a good start would be to make it give +!/+1 to regular creatures, and make it effect malignant cells in a flooded area. then i think it would be balanced.

Cough. Fractal Sparks. Cough.

Malignant cells can reach flooding too cheaply.

Try to synergize before you jump to calling it OP. It recently got a buff.

I could live with them getting something when deactivated but what you have suggested would give purify to all colors, something I cannot agree with.

[tereret]

maybe removing the  waste?
