Lol. I am not sure what is wrong with the name. Basalt is very hard and it can be used in industry and highway engineering. It's also very durable as a fibre. If I remember it correctly at some point at least it was used in tanks. Like the hematite-steel upgrade, stone-basalt is an excellent duo.
There is barely a difference between the gravity dragon and this. Yes, basalt has 2 more attack, but one extra
cost and that much LESS HP. In other words, we can say this one has 1 more attack while the
has the 18 more HP.
I find it strange people can argue in this way. They ought to be happy if we gave the basalt dragon to gravity, but that means 1 extra cost for 2 more attack, and minus 18 HP. In other words, I would not call it a buff. I would say it is a burf. But it is fair enough, we can give the gravity dragon 9/12 or 9/15 if you like, for 11
. I'm sure everybody will use it then.
Using the reasoning of the other thread, basalt dragon certainly needs a buff. No rush needs this dragon. You can have the graboid, golem, antlion, and shrieker. Even shrieker is cheaper than this. If you worry about shielding, pulverizer is much better. In other words, it is redundant. And we all know from the other thread redundant creatures need a buff. This game doesn't have thousands of cards, so every card should have a use, blah blah blah.
10 attack gives it a fine enough threshold of attack. It needs a buff, but just a tiny one. What it really needs is a slight bit more hp, maybe 15 upped, 11-12 unupped. Won't change much, but it will make it more balanced on paper.
Giving HP to a high HP creature has been shot down. If that counts,
certainly needs no buff. Also it would upset the game trademark as gravity has the bigger creatures. I am personally not against it by the way. But I dont know if I can see myself using it over 3 more HP.
