I have been thinking about this ever since I saw the card bank (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19892.0.html). It does something I havent seen before (although granted I could have just missed it). Its a card that effects not the battle itself, but the reward if the battle is won. So this is my question. Do you think those kinds of cards have a place in Elements? I actually think it would be a nice addition if not overdone, but Im sure there are plenty of people that are strongly against it. Thoughts? Concerns? Anything?

I guess there is the problem that it is UP in pvp. (except for those that farm pvp)

A card that can only be useful against AI sounds bad.

However I would be fine with cards that affect gameplay (as long as they are balanced and not too weird.)

Im willing to bet theres a large group of people that hardly ever do pvp, if at all.

I totally hate those type of cards. In my opinion, they should never be added to the game. This is my personal opinion.
My real-life sucks. So i come online to compensate that.

Could you give an explanation as to WHY you hate them though? Just knowing that you hate them doesnt give much help.

the way i see it is as following:

The fact that people do not like/hate the card 'bank'
would probably be because it doesn't add much to the gameplay or to the fact that you loose or win.
For some it would just be a useless card, takes up a vital spot in their deck,
saying they have better cards (that do help them to win the game)

For others, which grind Ai3 for example, removing 3 of their cards for 'bank' in their deck,
wouldn't reduce the ammount of loosing that much, and thus they see it as a good card,
saying they get electrum more easily/faster.

It is true that you have to grind a lot, to get the (upped) cards you want, to build and customize your deck without limits.
For most people (at least for me, and probably a lot of 'regular' players) who can build like 1 or 2 decks with the upped cards they have,
would really like to tryout some other deck idea's that I can't due the lack of  :electrum

This said, I would probably be in the middle of it,
- I do like the idea of getting more electrum faster
- I dislike the idea of getting useless cards, in cases where 'that permafrost would've kept you alive'

Well, I hope you can use my opinion. :)

Cards are for defeating your opponent and winning a game. They do not add anything to the gameplay to make the game either more strategic or more fun.
