'Web' ability

[maverixk]

Okay, so I think web is pretty much one of the least commonly used abilities in the game, and even with adding the airborne status to some new creatures i think it will stay that way. So I have thought of a buff for the ability: When you use Web on an airborne creature, it delays target creature for one turn. The delay feature only works if the creature is airborne, so if you've already used web on that creature, or if it's not airborne, there's no delay, just a waste of air quanta.

Did you hear about wings?

[Jocko]

No. Just no.

[Higurashi]

Not a bad suggestion, but I'm sure the Airborne status will get more innovative uses in the future. This one just feels taken by Warden already, and a Wings deck is also powerful enough already.

[maverixk]

Ok Higurashi,, i see what you're saying. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

Web is, in my opinion, very useful as it is. It's not so much underused as it is underdiscussed. It hasn' t been subject of discussion much because it's fine as it is.

Another reason why web, no the most fearsome ability of all, is never discussed is because the two creatures using it (phase and flesh recluses) have a great damage:cost ratio. The creatures are strong for their cost and the web ability is just a little extra something.

Needless to say I voted for no change.

I agree with him. Maybe more would be done with air cards and it's ability in the game future too.

The delay feature only works if the creature is airborne

Idea of buffing Web is good, but we should promote airborne, airborne mustn't be a penalty! So quoted text is very bad idea.

I don't think we need a web upgrade, we just need more relevant uses for airborne.  Currently, all it does it get around wings and get a bonus from sky blitz.  Once we get more cards that refer to airborne, web will be better.  I;m not sure when that will be, I have played since March and haven't seen any new cards added yet, but supposedly some new shards are in the works; no idea how long that will be, though.

And prevents Guard from damaging them. 

[dragonsdemesne]

Oh yeah, I always forget about guard, since the only creature with it, iridium/vanadium warden, has 0 attack and so it doesn't matter if they have airborne or not unless you buff it, or get guard from mutation on a creature with more attack than 0.  I've been screwed more than once by forgetting this...

I like this suggestion, and think it should be implemented because it can't really harm the meta-game. As for "wing decks make web good enough," airborne creatures will only be delayed one turn, as opposed to not hitting through the wings because they've lost airborne, since this buff doesn't really benefit wings decks (except you get to keep one creature from going through for one turn when if shield is destroyed that turn). It's a flavorful buff, is something is flying around and gets stuck in a giant spider web, it'll be caught, not just grounded.
