Shard of Focus | Shard of Focus

I suggest adding these conditions:

1. When a new sof is played, it absorbs all other (indeed can be only 1) sof already present on your field. The new sof has their combined hp and can turn to blackhole instantly when it exceed to critical value (I suggest reduce it to 40).
2. Using the ability delays it by 1 turn.

These prevent fractal/mitosis.
But I think scaling down the hps (initial/gain per use/maximum) is a bad idea since one can keep it reaching max hp much more easily (eg putting right on amount on poison then quint it).

I think the general consensus is Way Frickin' OP.

Useless post is useless? If it was UP, then there would be something wrong, as new cards always start out OP (it's easier to nerf cards than to buff cards).

This honestly sounds like a pretty great nerf maybe a bit of an over nerf but the numbers on this nerf are easily tweaked to nerf it more or less.

it seems interesting at first sight, but many people complaining about it be OP? well itg shold start with 10, gain 5 and only give Black hole if having mark.
good ?

People are saying it's OP because it destroys permanents at no cost, not because you get a black hole after some point.  In fact, getting the black hole is what's keeping it from being even more OP than it is.

What if it could only destroy pillars and pendulums?

Then it'd probably be UP.

Nerf immodecks and make a card that is harmful to every other deck. Seems legit.  ???

Another issue that isn't widely argued in this thread is the starting hp, it makes this very rough to counter.

The speed of this card is going to be a serious gamebreaker.

I think having the accretion ability affect a random permanent rather than a specifically targeted permanent would make it less OP.
Another idea would be to make using accretion pause the shard for a 2 rounds (i.e. it would be like a low level self-basalisk blood).

[iancudorinmarian]

It's not OP because it's a shard
shard=rare

[Calindu]

Still waiting to see a +effect for gravity, as in, every rainbow can play those.
