Linking to the starting points of every discussion? Wouldn't that waste too much space? I mean, once a discussion is over, there aren't really any reasons to go back to it. Why don't I just put a link to the most current discussion on the very top?

fine whatever BS, no one cares ¬.¬

So I can see reasons why people voted for them but fair enough.

Gah, WTF?! There was no past analysis on Graboid during the trials?! That was... hard to believe.

The card analysis is now up. Did I miss anything? I wrote this at 11 PM at night.

well you haven't put it on the front list under  yet if that counts ^^

Graboid | Elite Graboid
Graboid is perhaps the most frequently used creature of the Earth element, because of its extremely low summoning cost, and ability to transform itself into the Shrieker, a creature with high ATK. For only 3 and 1 , Graboid can turn into a creature with 8 or even 10 ATK Sounds like it's random to me maybe it should be 8 or even 10 ATK depending on if you're using the upgrade or something similar; such a high damage-quanta ratio is unheard of from any other creature in this game.

Graboid is one of the few creatures in Elements with two abilities, Burrow and Evolve. The Evolve ability by itself is quite simple: it transforms Graboid into an entirely new creature, the Shrieker. Because of its high attacking power, 8 regular and 10 upgraded, the Shrieker is often used in speed decks as a heavyweight beatstick. However, you may ask, why not summon the Shrieker directly, instead of playing the Graboid, splashing another element, and wait for 1 turn for the Graboid to evolve? The answer is simple. Shrieker, while having high ATK, is very costly; you need 8 to summon it. But for Graboid, its summoning cost is only 3 , almost three times less. Using Graboid requires two elements, , but it may not be as inconvenient as you think; the required to Evolve your Graboids can be taken care of by a simple Mark of Time.maybe say how you can also add 6 of shrieker and 6 graboid not sure considering you mention it earlier though

For other growth creatures such as Lycanthrope and Forest Spirit, they are vulnerable to creature control on their first turn of being summoned. However, with Graboid, that is not the case. Graboid is automatically Burrowed when it enters play, rendering itself invulnerable to all but opponent shield effects. Essentially, a Graboid is simply a less expensive Shrieker with a 1-turn delay. Comparing this to the 8 Shrieker, the low cost of Graboid is an absolute steal.

Graboid is the key card in the extremely popular mono-Earth Shrieker rush deck, a deck that is considered to be the fastest deck ever in AI3 grinding. The deck consists of a Short Sword, six Graboids, six Shriekers, and 17 Stone Pillars. Because Graboid and Shrieker are two separate creatures, you can put 6 Graboids and 6 Shriekers in a deck, which means you can summon 12 Shriekers in total! You can also modify this deck so that it has Earthquakes as permanent control, Reverse Time as creature control, or Titanium Shield as protection. Graboid itself is one of the reasons why Earth is such a powerful yet versatile element. A single Graboid might also show up in some pillarless speed rainbow decks that rely on Novas and Immolations, to make use of the unused Earth and Time quanta.

Quick Facts:
On the second turn of being summoned, the Graboid can evolve into a Shrieker.
Graboid is automatically Burrowed upon entering play. It cannot unburrow itself.

I mentioned it in the fourth paragraph.

Fix'd.
