Why is your favourite element your favourite element?

[Arum]

My two favorite elements are and .

So basically the two most hated elements when used correctly?

[DarkSandman]

  because I like to play with my enemies. I revel in the moment where my opponent realizes there's nothing they can do to stop me. BECAUSE THEY HAVE GIVEN ME THEIR CARDS.

  Ian says it best. I'm the psychic of the group, even at a random guess.

[Monox D. I-Fly]

 , I even made a poem about why:

I am like water
Many consider
that water is cooling, calming,
and makes their feeling at peace
Without realizing
that ocean contains the darkness
where everything's destroyed within pressure
even the beach's waves also contain rage
which is only revealed when tsunami attacks

HOWEVER, there's still hope
because water can still be gotten through by light
Whereas you are my light
whom I hope will get through to the floor
of my heart's abyss, where lies my remnants of hatred towards life
And I am sure, when that light arrives there
It will purify the poison in the polluted ocean
called MY HEART.

I made this poem at July 3, 2012 to my girlfriend at the time who kept thinking that I was a good guy. The original poem was written in Indonesian and you can read it here: https://facebook.com/notes/monox-d-i-fly/purify-upgraded-from-elements-the-game/10151855422885212/?refid=21&_ft_

In English it seems pretty good, so the translation probably didnt butcher it too bad.

[foxrain4]

  is the best if we are talking about competitive
  is my personal favourite if we are talking about fun play
  is an easy choice if we are talking about grinding.

Because I like irritating people.

There are a couple of reasons for this...


You want creature control? We've got that.

Permanent control? We've got that too.

How about damage? Loads of it.

Quanta denial? You bet.

Draw denial? Oh yeah.

Healing? More direct healing cards than Life has... and as many as Light.*

Stall-breaking? Just try to stop us.


     "And now, the Darkness holds dominion... black as death."
                    - Darkest Dungeon


* Darkness: Vampire Stiletto, Drain Life, Minor Vampire, Liquid Shadow, Nightmare, Black Nymph (6)
Life: Heal, Druidic Staff, Empathic Bond, Shard of Gratitude (4)
Light: Holy Light, Miracle, Luciferin, Sanctuary, Shard of Divinity, Light Nymph (6)



Well, I'm not actually a kleptomaniac... but I do share a pretty strong emotional connection with the Dark.

I love the night. Just about every single one of my fondest memories since my childhood has happened with the sun down - in fact, having to go to sleep before midnight actually has a pretty negative effect on my mood! I often go for walks alone in the very early hours of the morning - not something I share with many people, but I suppose it's fitting here. Rather fittingly, black has always been my favourite colour.

Competitively, Darkness is, without a doubt, my favourite Element to play with. A couple of you have already mentioned "versatility" in this topic...

The versatility you find in light is like no other, except with fire. But their versatility is like yin and yang of eachother.

Light, because I feel like Light represents me. Versatile, easy to work with, durable.

If I'm completely honest with you, I think both of these statements are rubbish! There are only three Elements in this game I think the term can accurately be used with - Fire, Aether, and of course, my beloved Darkness. The power to either completely obliterate your opponent's health pool, or decimate their entire offensive force simply by changing a few in-element cards - that's real versatility.

I'm really proud to hold the title as current Master of Darkness - winning a master title was the #1 Elements goal of mine from the day I came to this community, and I'm very pleased to hold it for my favourite element. Leading Darkness to its first War victory, with the highest winrate in history, was a huge personal achievement - getting both the Most Exquisite and Most Successful deck awards was awesome, too! With the 2nd Grandmaster Battle underway, I hope I can make my element proud by putting up a good fight against RootRanger.

Hi I like Death, I just like killing and poisoning things. /wetblanket

[Espithel]

  because then I can have all the elements without having to be committed.


Suckers.

Espithel, if you can't commit, I'm unsure of how much longer we can last...
