Perhaps the upgraded version will have four or more HP, and will be able to survive a single Firestorm. This card in Earth/Gravity with Pulvy and Quickstands would be quite deadly. Perhaps splash Time and make the deck bigger so you don't need to worry about balancing two pillar types, which you'd ultimately have to do.

Mark of Light
12x Gravity Tower
8x Stone Tower
4-6x Sundials (upgraded)
3x Amber Nymph
4-6x Quicksand
2x Pulverizer
2x Diamond Shield
3x Protect Artifact
4x Graboid
3x Heavy Armor

Total of 47 cards (you could either have 6 dials and 4 Qsands, or vice versa).

Might be viable, and would probably be one of the strongest Denial decks if it was tweaked and improved, lol. This is just coming off of the top of my head without any testing. =/

Good luck getting three amber nymphs. Supposedly they will be ultra-rare.

The main problem with your deck is you have either no time to evolve graboids, or no light to hasten dials :P. You can't have two marks.

Anyway, the other problem with that is that dials aren't really viable for card drawing anymore. Because each takes up a space in your deck, when you draw one, you could have drawn something else. You make this loss up with the single hasten you get, but overall you get no extra cards drawn. All you gain is the single turn of stasis.

Hence, imo, a 36 card deck with 6 dials is really like a 30 card deck. A 47 card deck like the one you said is really like a 41 card deck, with no card drawing. Therefore it would be prone to bad draws.

I'm not that makes the deck bad. My flying glory deck is 45ish cards with just 6 dials for card drawing too, and does pretty good.

With all that said, I'm thinking my gravity/earth denial just got a whole lot more gravity heavy. Or maybe gravity/earth/dark quantum denial.

Guys, remember, those Nymphs are LEGENDARY. They are only created by the legendary card Nymph's Tear. I doubt that they'll be even made into standalone cards.

So I assume that the Alchemy card for Gravity would be Black Hole? Sounds weird...

Actully Zanz was thinking of making all 12 of the nymphs (when the other's are fully done and what not) into special cards that will be available as a stand alone card. Though they will be amazingly rare/hard to get, something along those lines. I forget exactly what Zanz was thinking, but something like that.

None, of these cards would survive long against a rainbow deck, these would be the first to be eaten/mutated imo. No rainbow deck user would be stupid enough to let something with such a strong ability live.

For the second or third time in as many places, Bloodshadow: Zanz has said in chat that he's strongly leaning toward making the Nymphs available as non-legendary cards.  See the thread "Nymph Rarity".
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

Blood, Zanz is, as far as I know, thinking that the nymphs will be ultra-rare cards.

Didn't read everything, just want to reply to this now. I originally had Mark of Time, then changed it to Light but forgot to remove the Graboids. Oh well. =/

Nope, got one hatching from an fate egg. Grey nymph.

Aren't ambers fossilised tree resin? As in "Solidified into stone"? It makes more sense if ambef nymph would be a time creature.

HMMM, if super nova takes adds 2 quanta to each element, why should black hole take away three?
