What is your strongest card for each element?

[Scaramanga]

Please give motivations for every card


My thoughts

  Fractal - Great card economy. Also gives you the opportunity to have more than 6 of a kind of some creature. Can also be used on any creature on the field.

  Firefly Queen/ Elite Queen - Great card economy. Produces usefull creatures. Strong 3/7

  Steal - Destroy for you. Gain for me. Whats not to like?

  Bone Wall - Tricks AI to use PC, absorbs 100% dmg, replenishes its self.

  Pulverizer - Good card economy many PC in one. Decent dmg.

  Supernova - Many decks wouldnt exist with out it.

  Lava Destroyer - Creature that grows +2 +2 every turn. 7/1 for five quanta isnt bad to beggin with.

  Black hole - Seriously.. Quanta distruption and healing? Nerf this card

  Mitosis - See Fractal

  Improved Miracle - Full health? Yes please!

  Electrum Hourglass - Crazy card economy. AI will target this permanent first

  Permafrost Shield - Maybe the best shield in the game. -2 dmg and freez. Also freez untargetable creatures.

Firefly Queen/ Elite Queen - Uhm what?  economy wise it's a very expensive card :/.

I'd say wings for it's versability, or maybe even unstable gass for it's amazing decks you can make around it.


But cards are only good in combinations, there are very few cards that can stand on their own.

You will get many creatures for 1 card.

And its not a debate. These are my thoughts. Give me yours.
Please post your own list here 8)

Strongest? As in, most OP?

Fractal, have to agree with you on this one. It makes so many decks possible.
Fog Shield, way too cheap for blocking 40% of attacks.
Vampire Stiletto, none of the individual cards in this element are that strong, but this card is cheap for its attack.
Bone Wall, resistant to PC, can replenish itself, great shield.
Graboid, 8|10 attack for 4 quanta, it seems clearly OP to me.
Supernova, 'nuff said.
Phoenix, good attacker which is also very hard to kill.
Black Hole, even with only the denial it would be a usable card, with the healing it's any rainbow's nightmare.
Giant Frog, one of the best rushing creatures ever.
Miracle, one of the few cards that can change the game completely all by itself.
Reverse Time, very cheap CC that also functions as draw denial.
Ice Shield, 2 damage reduction plus freezing is very strong.

Pillars / Towers  (all elements )
'cause you aren't playing any of the above mentioned cards without Quanta...

[Kakerlake]

SoS. Both of 'em.

Other than that, each element has a few cards that are the strongest, always depending on the situation. I couldn't decide on a single card in each element without a specific situation.

[willng3]

- Fractal.  It's like coming into a duel with a pistol and then suddenly turning it into a rocket launcher.  All in one single play.
- Wings.  It has the capability of completely shutting down some decks and is quite powerful versus Elements lacking airborne creatures or Permanent Control.
- Steal.  Yeah, destroy + gain a card in one single spell is just too awesome.
- Bone Wall.  Anything that blocks 499 attack Lava Destroyers 999 times sounds good to me.
- Graboid.  Not really much to say here; 4 quanta for 8/10 attack is amazing.
- Supernova.  ...
- Phoenix.  Even after the nerf to Ash it's incredibly hard to kill.  Upgraded it takes Cremation rushes past their normal limits.
- Elite Otyugh.  Unupped it's not too impressive, but upgraded it's a serious threat to just about any deck using creatures.
- Emerald Dragon.  It's the only thing that stops from completely keeling over to just about any form of CC.  It's also the strongest (in terms of cost, attack, HP, and overall usefulness) Dragon of any element, in my opinion.
- Sanctuary.  Stopping quanta/hand denial and adding a pseudo-SoG effect in one card is completely game-breaking.
- Reverse Time.  Deadly form of CC that also brings about denial simultaneously.
- Arctic Squid.  Freeze on a stick is absolutely brutal.

I'd rather not go into any of the Other cards...

  Dimensional Shield, if you arent packing PC or momentum youre doomed, and they always come in chains
  Fog shield, very cheap for a pretty high protection rate
  Steal, powerful PC and it gives you a card
  Bonewall, arguably the strongest shield in the game reducing all damage to 0 and replenishable
  graboids, come in burrowed and for 1 quanta more they become super powerful
  Discord, completely wrecks monos and most duos
  Lava Golem, grows fast and has high base attack. its low health is easily countered by tossing one buff onto it when it hits the field
  Black Hole very powerful card that wrecks rainbows, but I think a necessary evil as nova, supernova, immolation, and other rainbows are overused
  Mitosis, the staple of Instosis
  Hope, if the opponent doesnt have mass CC this shield becomes even stronger than Bonewall
  Reverse time or eternity, NERF THEM. essentially an instant kill and draw denial in exchange for getting one extra copy of the card, also prevents deckout.
  Steam Machine, massive attack increases if you can fuel it, and high HP to protect versus CC

[Calindu]

- Fractal.  Not enough CC?
- Wings.  Great and versatile shield.
- Steal. Pretty much the best PC.
- Bone Wall. It's a incredible shield, can stop a rush by itself.
- Graboid.  3 earth+1 time ~ 5 earth quanta, pretty good for 8/10 attack, eh?
- Supernova/discord.  I'd rather not say anything.
- Phoenix. Everything that doesn't pop out of field by a single CC card is incredible good.
- Otyugh. Upgraded it's just brutal.
- Adrenaline. Played on the right creature just makes it to act like a TU.
- Miracle. One of the best game changers.
- Electrum Hourglass. Double drawing brings you double hope.
- Arctic Squid. Rushstoping is not a new word for this card.

  Fractal-creature spawing
  Firefly queen-same as fractal
  Steal-use ur enemy's card aginst him
  Bone wall-u can even have 50!

  Antimatter-heal yourself with ur oponents creature each turn
  Immolation-good for rushes
  Otyugh-eat all oponent creatures
  Mitosis-same as fractal and FFQ
  Photon-for rushes,nobody likes them so the are sacrificed
  Fate Egg-u can't tell what it would be,yay random!
  Nymph Tears-a ultra rare card for 7 and 1 pillar,very good
 Other:Quantum Pillar-two things:1.Why would u miss them? = without it 2.3 random quanta...good!

  = Thunderbolt.  Quick, simple removal that kills just about anything short of a dragon.  Honorable mentions go to quintessence and mindgate.
  = Eagle's Eye.  I can't tell you how many times this one card has wtfpwned my opponent in tournament play.
  = Improved Steal.  Vampire Dagger/stiletto gets a close 2nd.
  = Arsenic.  I've never been a huge fan of the death element, but this is a nice card in that it keeps damaging the opponent even if they destroy it, and it's one of the few death cards I've used a lot.
  = Pulverizer.  Repeatable permanent removal kicks arse.  Graboid and quicksand are definitely close seconds, though.
  = Supernova.  Pretty hard to pick anything else.  Purple Nymph has won me a lot of tournament games on its own, as has Discord, and they'd make good runners-up.  I also like antimatter.
  = Explosion.  Dirt cheap permanent removal, even after the +1 cost mod.  Phoenix gets runner-up.
  = Amber Nymph, easily.  This card can lock the game if unanswered, especially against rainbows.  Otyugh and Gravity Shield are runners-up.
  = Giant Frog.  I'm not a fan of the life element, even though that's what I started with.  Giant Frog was a key card in the ai3 grinding I did my first week.
  = Sanctuary.  I love this card, especially after the SoG nerf.  It heals and it counters several of the most overpowered cards in the game.
  = Electrum Hourglass.  Card advantage is pure gold in any CCG, and this card gives it.  Golden Nymph is awesome as well, but more expensive.  Eternity or GotP are pretty good, too, but not in that same class.
  = Steam Machine.  15hp makes this thing pretty much invincible, and it gets pretty darned big.  Permafrost Shield gets runner-up.
  = Shard of Sacrifice.  Probably the only card more overpowered than Gravity Nymph.  It's wrecked the entire metagame, and probably only supernova can also claim that.

[Dm]

  = Have to say Fractal on this one. Creature Spawning.
  = Flying Weapon Wings. Pretty much puts a halt to most decks.
  = Have to pull away from the Steal part and say Devourer here, these things are annoying.
  = SoSac Soul Catcher Bone Wall. Hooray for growing shields.
  = Graboid; 'nuff said in this thread.
  = Too many for words Supernova, Discord, Antimatter. The biggest one is Supernova though.
  = Read Entropy Phoenix. Hard to kill and good upgraded.
  = Otyugh or Chargers; but Otyugh. Charger because it's a neat card when upped, and Otyugh because of the CC.
  = Giant Frog. Neat Rushing card, though it fails to CC.
  = Sanctuary. Practically a better SoG.
  = Ghost of the Past. Dunno why, but it's a decent-ish attacker with a very original neat combo with Nightmare.
  = Permafrost Shield, obvious reasons. Though Abyss Crawler is a decent-ish attacker when upgraded, and Arctic Squid is just as good as the shield.
  (Cough cough Other) Shard of Sacrifice.
