Rares for all Elements https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=9534.msg112805#msg112805

So at current there are a handful of non-weapon rare cards.  They include (but aren't limited to) Miracle, Pharaoh, and Arctic Squid/Octopus.  I was thinking the other day how I wanted to get these cards simply due to them being rare, but at the same time having no need for them since I don't regularly play any of their colors.  Then it occurred to me:  Why don't all colors have at least one rare card (not including weapons)?  In the ideal world, I think it'd be cool for at least one rare Creature and Spell for each color.

Obviously these would have to be new cards though, since it wouldn't do any good to make something common now into a rare as it would only effect new players.  Still, there's plenty of good cards sitting in the Forge just waiting to be implemented...

Look up.  You see that up there?  The thing that just flew over-head?  That's the point.  I'm not talking about generic card types that are already shared across all the colors (for example, why I said weapons don't count).  Besides, you can't win Nymphs during post-game slots.

I agree, but I think it is being done.
Pharaoh is a relatively new card still, and it is a time rare.

I need more rares. I don't sell rares until I have 12, which makes them good to collect. With the other cards, you can just buy them back, so there is less emphasis on collection, one of my favourite aspects of a card game.

What DrunkDestroyer said. Note that I prefer Quality > Quantity of rares in game. Miracle is a Godsend (no pun intended), but I don't see many people using the rare creatures of Pharaoh and Arctic Squid as much as I thought (probably because they're specific to mono/duo decks). Either way WTS (is it okay if I call you that? XD), rares are going to come into this game over time, multiples ones for each element. However, the community has to agree on whether or not it SHOULD be a rare card, and more importantly, whether or not the element deserves a rare that's potentially devastating and really strong. (See Earth's amazing versatility with other elements, but it doesn't have a rare card yet)
