this card is also a

- gravitron merc buff

- makes Death nymph and Afla useless too. Flinging first cell is hilarious. "Oh no you wont, go away!". Also makes "board lock" completely impossible.
- depending oh who has it, it either lets you do something with your BBed creatures, or if you're the one using BBs, makes them more versatile

I don't understand how would this cause any problem with malignant cells?
"Board lock" was already impossible if you had eternity/druid. Or probably other means.

[Malduk]

Problem? Yes, board lock is already stupidly hard to achieve, and easily countered. Afla sucks.
Just saying its yet ANOTHER way to counter Afla/Death nymph. Just like its yet another way to counter Antimatter for example.

[Korugar]

I think more ways to counter Antimatter are warranted. It's an amazingly hard card to counter, and while it's not totally OP, cards like this that make it slightly less useful are ok. Afla, on the other hand has issues, and could use a little help...

The nastiest counter i received for antimatter: use butterfly effect on it. I recently lost a match against the AI that way

If you have growth creatures, grow them evenly. You can burn them as well for a big heap of quanta. Rewind is the best though.

Against the AI it is stupidly easy
Drop some graveyards for stealing types, don't break their graveyard. Quint their cells or other critters best left untouched on the opponent side (I like quinting enemy dolls). They get cluttered pretty fast with useless creatures.
Drop a jade shield, and the lock is down.

I agree board lock is not too useful in PvP. PvP is dominated by rush decks. But that isn't Afla's problem.

I'm not looking for advices on how to use a card against AI. AI is for grinding anyway, end-game is PvP, around which the game should be balanced or the game will lose its multiplayer appeal.
Hell, even against AI, its easier to NOT use Afla, then to use it.

Back ON TOPIC: As mentioned on chat, Catapult would be much more viable card if it allowed for multiple uses per turn (like Rustler). Then it would be a decent finishing move card.

Or you could just chimera really quickly, then catapult for the win.

Not half as useful, due to the formula.

[Essence]

I'm surprised that there's not a lot more excitement about / decks with this.  Finally, another useful way to kill your own stuff!

I tested Catapult last night. It could definitely use a buff. The cost is fine, but the damage output isn't nearly enough. I edited the formula slightly and found a possible scenario that would buff the damage output quite reasonably:

Suggested formula of damage: dmg=50*HP/(40+HP)

Health Damage 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 10 11 11 12 12 13 13 14 13 15 14 16 15 17 15 18 16 19 17 20 17 21 18 22 18 23 19 24 19 25 20

Health Damage 26 20 27 21 28 21 29 22 30 22 31 22 32 23 33 23 34 23 35 24 36 24 37 25 38 25 39 25 40 25 41 26 42 26 43 26 44 27 45 27 46 27 47 28 48 28 49 28 50 28

Health Damage 51 29 52 29 53 29 54 29 55 29 56 30 57 30 58 30 59 30 60 30 61 31 62 31 63 31 64 31 65 31 66 32 67 32 68 32 69 32 70 32 71 32 72 33 73 33 74 33 75 33
