EDIT: Thank you to everybody that voted and commented. Change all you want now!

I'm not entirely sure why metamorphosis has a cost, but this is why I think it might:
1. To discourage people from continuously changing their mark
2. ???
3. Profit.

Now, it makes sense that you don't want newbies to get carried away changing their deck continuously, so that's why I suggest the following:
*every time you use metamorphosis, it becomes 1 cheaper*

This way, you'll spend a total of 5,000 (EDIT: 5,050) coins on metamorphosis, which you wouldn't even be able to accumulate until you've played for a fair while.

This would prevent people from going crazy with mark-changing when beginning to play, but being able to experiment/play around with it freely after paying 5k over time.

Vote above, comment below!

Yeah, I noticed that. I hope it stays that way, as changing between two deck really gets on my nerves after a while

Lol at the one person who said it's too low. Is he/she just trying to be obnoxious or does anyone actually think that it should cost more. I don't see why we should have to pay to change marks. The thing with it costing less electrum each time might be a good idea. That would be an idea I would support.
*every time you use metamorphosis, it becomes 1 cheaper*

I think you mean 5050 electrum [use formula S = (n / 2) (F + L) ]

What´s F+L?
I only know:  S=(n/2)*(n+1), n=100 or (1+100)+(2+99)...+(50+51)=5050
I`m teffy, here - and Ringat on Kongregate

F = First number in sequence
L = last number in sequence
n = number of terms in sequence

so thats (100/2)(1+100) or 50 * 101, which = 5050

Sorry about that, I did the math in my head. 100 is an even number, so there'd by 50 pairs of 100 and 50 (100+0, 99+1....51+49, 50).

Twice as many (18) people right now agree that the price should go down as those that think it shouldn't (9).

Would somebody that voted against lowering or getting rid of the cost care to defend their vote?

I voted that there shouldn't be one for two reasons. The main reason is because I am about 99% sure that zanz is removing the cost from metamorphosis in the next patch. The other is that since Elements' birth, many new cards and features have been introduced, leaving much for a player to put his/her electrum into. The biggest thing is upgraded cards. Also, PvP has become something to strive to compete in, which rewards versatility. Because of this, it makes sense to eliminate the cost from a mark change in order to level the playing field in PvP tournaments.

I agree entirely....

...now would somebody that DISAGREES care to defend themselves?

This has turned into quite the one-sided argument! ^_^

I disagreed.

I may be a bit biased (since i can afford it easily)  But since i started elements (way back in July of last year i believe)  i was a pvper at heart.  I never had a problem having money to change marks, so i dont see why it should be made free.

Also, i didnt post before, because i really dont feel like debating this point.
