Dive + TU is broken!

[Tea is good]

I was just playing and I hatched a Elite Wyrm from a elite fate egg. I though, hey I'll TU it. So I dove and TUed it. The resulting wyrm was 10, after it attacked, it stayed at 10 attack, like normal. So I dived it, it went up to 20 damage, like normal. Then it went back to 5 damage! I only quadrupled damage one turn!

Did Zanzarino fix this on purpose, or are Peggy/Wyrm decks no longer going to work?

sounds like a glitch.

If it is a glitch it's been that way since 1.19 (I believe) which is when I first noticed it. I thought it was intentional.

i think its a glitch

Zanz said he is nerfing (or already has nerfed) the Dive/PU combo so it doesn't work anymore. Not a glitch.

It seems that if a creature dives, its attack returns to normal after it attacks. So you can still perform this combo, but you need to make sure you don't dive until you can use parallel universe on that creature on the same turn.

That is a sad, sad occurrence.

Also entirely unneccessary.  It's not like Dive/PU decks were breaking the game.  At least, from a game-mechanics perspective.  I understand they might have been messing things up from a programming perspective with Antimatter doubling and all that.

[jmizzle7]

It didn't even mess anything up with the AI, because the AI doesn't use dive if its creature is antimattered. So yes, the niche deck is dead. Long live the niche!

It can still work, just about half as effectively. Lets say you Dive/PUd it three times, you have a total of 75 damage. Now, its 55. Still significant In my opinion. Still a very annoying nerf though
