not wanting to be rude, but (to save me some typing) - go check how many people have miracle (rare). now go check how many people have fractal at their disposition. explained?
Power of card is determined by its rareness? I have a strange feeling more people own Miracle than Solar Shield.
secondly, no deck would revolve around Miracle. miracle is healing. as long as I know, you have 0 chance of winning the game if you just heal and heal and blah. unless the other guy decks out. so wait, we do might have a miracle revolved deck that involves mass healing until the opponent decks out. (so much we have the miracle god, no?)
Yes, you can win games by healing, if you survive till deckout. Beautiful way to counter deckout is fractal for example.
and theunamed is right. the guy asked that since the downside of miracle is the same downside as the fractal card both of them should be rares.
Dude asked why is Miracle rare. Perfectly legit question imo. People responded because its powerful. And indeed, it is. But there are more powerful cards that are not rare. Fractal being one of them.
Everyone here gave a correct answer to his questions - the effects the cards do, that are completely different. So if you DO read all the answers here, you will see that miracle IS better then fractal.
Lets disagree here. It is pretty obvious to me that Miracle is not better than Fractal. If it is, you'd see many decks being built around it. Truth is, there are lots of ways to heal yourself, and you can live without Miracle even if you're going for deckout strat.
And how comes saying that RoF could own a fractal is funny? it's true. example : fractal a devourer until you fill the board. you didn't drain all his quantum though, and he has 7 fire quantum. he plays rain of fire. what happens next?
you fractal ray of lights. the opponent plays rain of fire. what happens next?
you fractal dragons. like, hard hitting dragons, like ruby dragons. your opponent plays rof. what happens next?
you fractal light dragon. you play them all. your opponent slowly, but does uses 4 rain of fire. what happens next?
You are either pretending to be dumb to make a point, or you never built a fractal deck. You dont pack one fractal, PESTS survive RoF, you dont fractal ruby dragons, you fractal minor pheonixes, 4 RoFs to kill 1 drop of light dragons is what you call a counter?
Let me just add that fractals are actually played with upped cards, and all game balancing should be done under assumption that all cards are available to a player.
As to last poster, I'm not saying Fractal is OP, I'm saying Fractal is POWERFUL. VERY POWERFUL. Happy?
Anyway, I dont care which cards are given rare status as long as I get to use them. :p
I just had to react to claims (from almost all people involved in the thread) that Miracle is oh so powerful, while Fractal is not. Well there, now you have a different input in this thread. Bai Bai.
I wasn't saying how many people HAVE IT. Actually, it was that, but the real meaning was - who many people can get it? as in, can actually get it anytime to use it? anyone can buy solarshield... but no miracle.
I also said that you can win games by healing - I pointed that out and you pointed out again. yes miracle isn't the only way of healing but it is the most efficient, no?
Obviously dude asked why miracle was rare and fractal not, but he was saying that because it has the same downside.
The miracle is best then fractal part should be jumped. everyone has it's own opinions and you have yours that fractal is better then miracle - that in my opinion it isn't, since fractal only copies cards, and miracle saves you from sure death.
Now, this "You are either pretending to be dumb to make a point, or you never built a fractal deck. You dont pack one fractal, PESTS survive RoF, you dont fractal ruby dragons, you fractal minor pheonixes, 4 RoFs to kill 1 drop of light dragons is what you call a counter"
is wrong. I don't pack one fractal, but lots of fractal in a deck. but a rof could kill little - hp creatures just the same, no matter if you have 6 fractal - you have 6 rof. that happens.
I wasn't talking about PESTS, i was talking about DEVOURERS. you don't fractal ruby dragons, since they are too much of quantum, but they are still a option. for those who want to go crazy, they don't stop being a option. and anyway, you could rof the minor phoenixes anyway, even if they came back to life later, you could keep rof-ing.
yes, I call 4 rof's a counter. what's the problem with that, exactly? as long as it counters, it is a counter. (obviously.)
I get it that you say that fractal is powerful, not OP. and I never said "fractal is useless. it's not powerful and it's just a random bad card." I never said that fractal is oh so bad, either.
