And why would Immortal need buffing? I mean, you summon it with invincibility so the cost is legit. Invincibilty is practically an immovable stone in Elements, once something is invincible, its staying there until the game ends..
An immovable stone that's weak and is, in fact, movable by shields.

Steam Machine also doesnt need a buff, +5 (-1 per turn) for 2 :fire ? thats already very good with multiples of them on the field, cheap high damage.
Solar shield, is very useful. for 3 :light you get protection as well as mana pump for yourself.
and shard of readiness........I actually think is overpowered in elements, i mean (forgive me if i am wrong) but to continuosly use abilities? that smells OP....
Steam machine: was +4, -1 at the time
Solar shield: blocked 1 damage. It was massively underpowered.
SoR: You can't continuously use abilities, it's still limited to once/turn.

but 6 :aether for a 4/3 indestructible is still a good bargain. I mean aether isnt supposed to be known for strong creatures, and 4 power lands at least 2 with almost all shields (hope, bonewall, phase, practically block everything)
but now i can see your point, however how will you buff it? because i think a 5/3 indestructible is op for 6 :aether

There is no such thing as underpowered! Seriously, when you think about those cards that are "underpowered", that just means DON'T USE THEM! There is nothing wrong with having "bad" cards in the game, because maybe, just maybe, cards may support each other. Where would afflatoxin be without a skeleton, a thing you'd never, ever summon>

lol, i see no point in this poll

I tossed in my votes for dirk, trident and massive dragon. Even though I forgot about the recent dirk buff (+1 for dark/death) so probably should have voted for something else instead of dirk... probably Chimera...

Reasons:
1) Trident: difficult to get out in time to make impact, and gets over shadowed by Pulvy in terms of spectrum of permanents removable.
2) Massive Dragon: very cost inefficient, and high cost makes it even more unappealing.
3) Chimera: Lots of personal bias here as I've had some bad terrible experiences with this card, but I simply don't see why if you have enough ATK/ HP spread out across multiple creatures across the board you want to link them all into one making yourself exposed to single target CC and more importantly you semi-CC yourself by grav. pull... just for the momentum to get across shield for like 2 turns?

Reasons i can think of:
-getting rid of that annoying auto-mitosis single-celled organsim
-if you have alot of small creatures which can't get through a shield anyway
-your top and bottom creatures are gonna die from flood or a spell you will use..

just out of curiosity, when you reverse time a creature which was created from chimera do you get the creature or the spell again?

But i can see a strategy with this card. 4+ boneyards in play. your creature spots are full, you use chimera, followed by rain of fire, several lightning storms, whatever (to clear enemy board) you then should have about 12+ skeletons out on the field and play as normal.

1) Ah nice. Your reasons make sense ^^ (what you're thinking of is aflotoxin)
2) If you reverse time Chimera, you will draw the spell again next turn.
3) I don't quite follow what you were trying to get at with the 4 bone yards argument... free up space of your own board? That would make sense, yeah... learn something new everyday. Thanks.

maybe graviton mercenary should be buffed, but if he is, then it should not be a damage buff, as currently he is a perfect target for adrenaline.

Actually, the merc sucks with adrenaline(the guard is good because it is cheaper, but the merc costs too much to be really good).

i think chimera need a buff allowing to select the skill if many skillfull cards are combined and choosing a passive as well!!

ok maybe its a bit too much but at least let the chimera choose a skill for itself!!

eg : if shrieker , armagio and chimera were combined , the chimera should get an option to select any of the 2 spells (burrow / gravity pull) or it could be randomed!!

Purify
Should not require water quanta.  It's the only poison stopper in the game.  It should be more versatile.  If other poison stoppers were added, this would be fine as water-only.

Sundial
Should be immaterial.

Water is supposed to be the only poison stopper, since there really isn't much only water can do.

Sundial is a great card already in the right decks. It's like precognition for creatureless decks, except it also stops most of their damage for a turn. People probably only think it is UP because they never play it in the right decks.
Somehow still around, somewhat
