But despite the weaknesses, I can now go with anti-deckout by simply having a spark and 2 pillars. This is actually even more useful than Eternity. Besides, this means that CC is actually counter-productive.

the only use i can think of is a truely eternal game of elements, waiting for one side to lose all of the health, for a turn

[Nepycros]

Well, eventually, both the players will run out of spells and permanents to play. When that happens, it all comes down to who has the stronger creatures, and if there's any way to simply disable the opponent's creatures. Purple Nymph seems to have an extreme advantage here.

It has the ability to draw the last/bottom most card for  / .

This card is used to draw the creatures that the owner lost. Preventing a deck out is just a small advantage to this card.

It cannot be really compared to Eternity because it does not have reverse time. You can't target enemy creatures with this card to keep them drawing same creature like that with Eternity. It just puts your dead creatures on the bottom of of the deck and enables to draw them out. It's not powerful as something like Eternity.

Ahem. Don't you mean Delorean | TARDIS?

Good card.

Currently it is a much better antideckout card than eternity
Draw Spark
Play Spark
Spark attacks
Spark returns to bottom of deck
End turn
Absorb

I would suggest changing
The Casting cost to 4|3
The Absorb cost to 3|3
The Activation cost to 2|2

i meant im not gonna deck out if eternity is my last card. i would use this to draw the last card before i deck out

Yeh, Spark can become annoying with this deck, as it keeps getting back to the deck, easy deck out immunity. Fractal Spark !!!

But still you can destroy or steal the Time Machine anyway.  Deflag, Steal or Pulverizer wrecks it.


Anyway, increased  quanta consumption per turn and reduced the card cost.  Added new artwork.

I'm sorry if I haven't probed deep enough, but does this trigger death effects? After all, it could be argued both ways. Either you could've gone to the past to pluck out the still-living creature, or the creature could've been cloaked at the last possible moment and transported through time.

[Bieber4Ever98]

Yes, it does trigger death effects.

Maybe the concept behind the Time Machine was not laid down very well in the original post. It really goes to the past and plucks out the living creature from a time before it's death. The creature has really died and triggers the death effects before becoming the last card in owner's deck. It is mentioned in the description of the card that " Each owner's creature that dies becomes the last card in deck. "


It only changes the animation of the death of the creature to that like Reverse Time as mentioned in the " Extra " which i would now change to " Visual Effect " to avoid further confusion.


It will allow synergies with other elements like   / .
