nymphs are so shit https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=3412.msg29625#msg29625

Trainer allowed me to create a nymph deck, and my feedback is ....its so shit. each nymph cost 9 quanta to play, and their skill uses 3 to 4 quanta. quantum towers and super novas just isnt enough to power these weak females, just like how your mom's basement cant handle the dryer your quad core computer and your mac and cheese heating microwave at the same time, you element nerd.

but seriously, nymphs are shit. look at how many people prefer quitessence over anubis, skilled creatures are controled way too easy, spell cards on the other hand cannot be controled even if your opponent used precongition and saw that you had it, all they can do is consider closing the browser or closing the browser or pm you a greeting to your mother then close the browser. aether nymph cost more to summon than anubis, AND cost more to use skill, wtf. I tried a fully upgraded rainbow, the only victory i was able to gain with this deck was with chaos lord, and it was a very long and hard battle and it involved some basilik blooding and rage, but it was pretty pointless

nymphs cannot stand on their own thats for sure. They might be able to be considered into a mono deck as a high luxury card, but i would rather just get the potion cards instead. maybe you can put a water nymph in a rainbow, maybe, since ur not using ur water quanta and its such a pity to watch them go to waste and you can have fun by pissing on your opponent at the same time. if you managed to creat a fire nymph and have plenty fire quanta, you can use some rage on your mutants or grown otyugh to make your opponent wince, and then you can give it vampire so you can suck some blood, then you can heal it with your mutant. but as you can see, this is fairly situational and hard to come by, and when you do have mutants on board ur almost always already in control, but the pleasure of enjoying a nicely build combo is unmatchable.

Also, i dont know if any of you guys got a nymph yet, but I was lucky enough to get a golden nymph, and i wont be using it under any circumstance, not as an ornament and definetely not a substitute for hourglass

Either this is a joke or you are missing the point of Nymphs completely. They are not meant for rainbows and, for the most part, are not meant to be used on their own.

I find them quite powerful in some respect. Repetitive black holes are awesome. Yes they have a weakness being a creature but that also means their ability is reusable and  they can kill off your opponent. You still need creatures to win in most cases why not use a critter that has a reusable potion? Might not work for your deck but definitely not shite. If you don't want em if you get them sell them they're worth about 900.

Nymphs are like the rare cards of any other game. They may not be horribly effective, but they are, nonetheless, rare and exciting to have. ^_^

A big theme in Elements deck building is Per Card Power. Simply put, you only draw one card per turn, and you have to make the most of each card.

Not every card is great in every situation. Drawing a nymph in your opening hand is obviously not desirable, but if i can draw 1 red nymph in my fire deck at a time when i can play her (and protect her as well) then it's like i get 1 rage potion per turn, plus my normal card draw. This is the idea behind all of the nymphs. They provide you a strong recurring spell, if you can play them and keep them alive. It isn't easy to do either, but the pay off is huge.
