Shard Revolution Submissions Thread

I think the card is pretty nice and would work well, open up a good number of possible decks, and has a nice Gravity perk (ok, granted, Gravity permanents are not as awesome as Air or Time ones, but Animated Titans, Catapults and possibly this shield (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,27845.msg379406#msg379406) would be enough to justify this). It may be a good idea to swap creatures and permanents, but I like it better the way it is now...

How would you propose to target a card that's inside your deck?  Would it display a list, or visually lay all of your cards out?  Would this show you the order your deck's cards are in (secret bonus)?

Personally, while I love this idea, it would be awfully hard to execute, especially since Elements is already hard on an order computer's processor (graphcially, I mean).  Showing your entire deck in-game would really slow things down.

Mind the double post.

TRIALS ENTRY

The Darkness welcomes all:

Immolation/Cremation and -most notably- Nova are probably the best combos with this card, Supernova cannot be cast while this is in effect (since you can 't get the for it). Discord is also rendered useless (hurray!).

This card would make for some really evil Siphon Life decks.  Cremation gives 20 all by itself.  Quantum Towers would be the bomb diggity.  I'm almost worried that it would be too fast -- you essentially take a basic ImmoPhoenix framework and give it this and some Siphons, and you're in business for the LONG haul with all of your lifegain.

Time Trials Entry:

This won't freeze cards with automatic skills like towers, Scorpions, RoL, and Chargers. It only freezes cards whose skills must be activated by clicking. Unlike the unupped shard, the upped shard can remain in play indefinitely, but after 3 turns it requires an upkeep, and if there is not enough quanta for its upkeep it is destroyed.

Edit: Buffed the upped version so that it waits 3 turns before it must pay upkeep.

This is a pretty sweet idea, but I'm honestly not sure that the upped version is worth that level of upkeep.  Even Flooding's minimal upkeep has made it one of those cards that basically no one uses, and it's effects are fairly profound.  This does nothing to a vanilla rush deck or a deck with nonactivated skills/permanents, making it almost as situational as Flooding. 

Also, the upped version would never see play in non-Water decks, and I'm not sure that you want that.

Can my entry be both my competition entry and my trials entry?

Can my entry be both my competition entry and my trials entry?

Yes it can.

Can my entry be both my competition entry and my trials entry?

Yes it can.

May I ask, then, why mine couldn't?

Enter the Shard Revolution (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,28847.0.html) competition with a Shard of your element.

• Note in your submission that it is for Trials purposes.
• The rules of Shard Revolution state a limit of one entry per player.  Competition Organizers will make an exception for those in the Trials only.
• For participants in the , , , and Trials, create a Shard of another element according to the competition rules.

Q: I already posted a shard for the competition.  So I have to do one more?  As I am in the time trial. I can choose another element right?
A: Yes and yes.

Time Trials Entry:

Although its for the trials.... fractal ball lightning would make this extremely powerful... op? idk, but powerful for sure.

Entry for Trial of Light.

Besides being an obvious hard counter to Cloak (and any future cards that involve invisibility), this Shard is primarily designed as a companion to Mindgates and Hourglasses - see what you'd draw before you pay to draw it.  In a Time/Aether deck, this can be used powerfully in conjunction with Precognition to see exactly what your opponent will be capable of next turn.

[Terroking]

Entry for Trials of Earth.

[Higurashi]

Entry for the 4th Trials of Aether. (yes, I might as well enter this in the competition too)
