Cloak | Cloak

Just played Serket at Beta, and there are times he is Cloaked, but the Cloak permanent is also invisible. Probably due to multiple cloaks? Can someone confirm that? I try to give AI just Towers and cloaks in Trainer, but the AI only plays one Cloak at a time...

The Cloak permanent should show, otherwise how could you destroy it.
And the AI is smart enough to not mass cloak. Similar to how it won't just spam Dim shields.

Cloak now has sweet new special effects in Trainer.


Also, the AI for cloak needs to be changed so that it treats Cloak like PHase Shield -- playing a new one when the old one is at 0, not a turn after it expires.  As it is, it completely fails to provide the AIs that play it with the kind of continuous protection that it's obviously supposed to.

essence is late to the game...

That Cloak definitely disappear after first turn, and I am dead sure that he plays another Cloak when the field is already Cloaked. Sorry about no screenshot, I was too shocked I guess...

cload is just like granting imobility(or something like that) so your creatures cant be targeted.

Cloak should be invisble to the cards the you play becasue when you play a card you still see it, like you play a dragon you can still know

[aqwsz0]

^then it will be a bit op ^

I know I am late to the party here, but I read through the whole thread and didn't see this mentioned...

I have been farming Arena Bronze with a mono death deck.  I put in a single Cloak 50 or so games ago and I have been using it a fair bit: 

Want to protect your Dragons from those pesky Reverse Times? Cloak them.
Need a quick and dirty way to pseudo-burrow your Devourers?  Cloak.
Need your opponent to waste a Deflagration instead of use it on your Vampire Stiletto?  Cloak it.

So that's all fantastic, but it also has, what I consider to be, a bug:   If Cloak is Stolen from you, no matter how many turns you had left on it, it reverts to 3 turns for the new owner.  Then if it is stolen again it resets again.  So it seems a single Cloak can go on indefinitely.  I think it should keep counting down its original number like a Dimensional Shield.

Indeed, Cloak is underrated, especially against the AI (because it's dumb). And indeed, that's a known bug. Although judging by the cards you mention I assume you meant mono-darkness deck.

[ginandtonic]

Urgh.  Yes I meant Darkness, thanks Higurashi.

Hi everyone.

What the difference in mechanic at this and the current form of the Cloak?
