Okay, I now this sounds lazy, but it'd be nice if we could see EXACTLY how much damage we're going to do. Tallying up all the damage and healing in your head is fine, but time consuming. We already have part of each player's health bar turn yellow to reflect the damage that will be dealt next turn, and that's great. However, I feel it would really help if there was a small yellow number near each players' health as well (for example, -22). Raise your hand if you've ever ended your turn without playing anything because you thought you would kill your opponent, only to find out you've left them with 1 health.

Another possible thing I would like to see added is perhaps a number showing your total healing per turn from SoG, Bonds, Vamps, etc. It's less of a concern because you'll usually only have a small number of healing sources out at any one time, but it'd still be nice to have.

Just my 2 electrum.

Whoops, didn't see that. ::) Thing is, it seems like a lot of the boards will only have a few active topics at a time, to the point where I've learned to ignore anything on the bottom half of the page because it's usually over a month old. His idea sounds perfect!

Lol,

It is actually quite fun it doesn't say what damage is done... apart from the yellow bar. It makes you think, a bit like some other strategy games.

I have no issues with it. Usually I can see in a few seconds if I'm winning in 1, 2 or 3 turns. This can indeed matter if you need to prevent some type of damage.
Shards aren't overpowered, as long as you have them yourself.
