Shard of Focus | Shard of Focus

[willng3]

Notes:
-Black Hole is placed in your hand, it does not activate like Amber Nymph
-Accretion is an active ability, with no cost
-Shard of Focus is considered the "Gravity Shard"

Discuss.

Note: Shards cannot be obtained by the Oracle and thus have no Oracle prediction.

Looks like Honey Charger is going to be excited that it has a (non-buff required) wingman to do some dirty work.

Aside from the synergies it could have with Rage Potion (yay for more ATK + more chances to destroy things!), Acceleration (removes the ability, but it's a cheaper 'creature' to bolster), and even Gravity Pull (destroy a permanent -> enemy creatures take more life away -> destroy more permanents -> repeat), I'm starting to realize that Basilisk Blood will become stronger CC against SoF users, while Reverse Time actually becomes worse against Mono-:gravity (since I'm assuming you get the shard back again all fresh and neat).

The fun thing is; you really do you have to 'focus' on trying to keep SoF in play. Spam its ability too much, and you'll find yourself with a potentially less useful weapon (Black Hole). Do it too little, and you might risk the possibility of it being removed or wasted on the field. And of course, how you use it (Catapult fodder? PC spam? Black Hole generator via Fractal and destroying everything on sight?) will make this shard possibility one of the more 'interesting' shards.

Hmm, seems... odd. Really cheap PC that lasts 4 turns at a cheap cost... even if it had no ability it would be considered a good card for Gravity, having 15HP at a cost of 3 quanta. Seems like it almost balances itself with the turning-into-BH, though that seems almost useless if the holder is using Gravity, as the card itself is better than the BH it will produce when over 50 HP.

EDIT: Imo, to make it more geared towards (as producing a BH isn't really a thing you want to happen if playing that card), why not make it something like "And if your mark is , it turns into a BH at (insert higher number) HP", or even if your mark is , it gains less HP per turn or something

Hoping Shard is a also a creature. c: Yoohoo!! Bloodshadow!!

This card looks like it will be fun. ^_^

EDIT: 5* Simply cuz it's a shard. Love -all- the shards!!

[Bhlewos]

lol at will posting the topic. xD

Can't wait to start testing this out (right after I finish this post). First creature shard! Awesome!

EDIT: Go to Trainer...no SoF...just like finding out Santa isn't real, all over again.

If this isnt nerfed (which it probably will be) Im probably going to run this in most decks, even if they dont have gravity, probably even in darkness and fire as well, even if they already have PC...

The ability really doesn't related much to Gravity. One obvious example: this + Rage pots.

I bet it is going to get a major change.

Hmm...Black Hole isn't related to Gravity?  It even puts the card in the owner's hand.

Yeah, I feel it's OP right now. Though I welcome for more PC options, I wish we will have more new PC effect other than destroy. Something like "target player's weapon gain gravity pull", perhaps?

On a different note, we can finally fractal shards! Also, it's kinda funny to think that the shard will still gain the HP gain even if we cancel the ability. (at least I imagine it will be)

Consumption of permanents=consumption of creatures (aka otyugh)? and black hole, etc. It is a bit confusing though since this is the first shard that doesnt flat out say what it is supposed to be aligned with. Personally, I really like it. My only concerns are that it might need a slight cost increase and that it buffs rainbows more than grav. Although seeing now that it gives gravity a slight resistance to reverse time, it is nice. I think this could open up some great fire eater/shard/rage pot/chimera decks. That'd be fun. Alas, it'll be forever before I can grind 6 of these.

Shattering (the first reusable PC in the game) is gravity too, so i'd say it relates.
Well, at first sight seems kinda op, but i guess we'll have to wait and see.

There are too many ways to avoid that Black Hole while keeping it running

Making the "+0/+10 per turn, turns into BH when HP>50" into passive might work. Also HP>50 can be max HP>50 to get rid of self sniping.
