I Hate the New Purify

[TheMonolith]

Used to be, if you determined your deck had a weakness to poison, you could bite the bullet and upgrade a purify or two so your non-water deck could still counter poison.

Now, if your non-water/non-rainbow deck has a poison vulnerability, you must completely overhaul your deck to include water?  Ridiculous.

We've added a handful of new cards that poison, including the OP scorps that add a poison every time you play a card, and removed the ONE and ONLY card that a non-water deck could use to counter poison.

I realize there a prevalent rainbow-deck fetish in this community, but I had no idea how bad it was...

Poison is not that strong.  If poison bothers you then 1.) pack a purify 2.) out heal it or 3.) out rush the poison.

The problem was purify was so situational that it was never packed as poison was rare enough for it not to be viable for it to be added but now that it has this new +2 ability it is slightly more reliable to put it in your deck because even if you're not against poison you still get the +2 healing.

ya, purify now has a use outside of curing poison. and i love it. its not too strong of a regen effect.

[TheMonolith]

I like the regen effect, but the upped Purify should still cost generic quanta.

Old purify
-Unupped: 1 water, clear poison
-Upped: 1 generic, clear poison

New purify
-Unupped: 1 generic, clear poison add +1 healing
-Upped: 1 water, clear poison add +2 healing

The new unupped purify is better than the old upped purify so don't complain. If you want generic cost don't up purify now.

Unupped purify is 1 water as well.
