I would love to get a re-work of this card so I can stop seeing it in EVERY...SINGLE...PLATINUM...DECK.  Seriously, I have seen it in better than 90% of plat decks in the last couple months.  Although, whoever decided to throw this into a upgraded fire rush/explosion deck, I tip my hat to you sir.  (I call that deck EXPLODE EVERYTHING!)

Elements community upon hearing the news SoFo was getting nerfed.


I still don't like this as a creature shard as I think Shard Golem should be the only one.
I still think it's too inexpensive and easy to use for all in one reusable PC.
At least it won't be playable on the first turn in every friggin rainbow deck.

I think it may be fine now, it shouldn't  be use in first turn with nova or 2upped rainbow tower.

4 :gravity to destory 3 permanment and get a blackhole, it is still power when it on your battlefiled. but it is slow because of 4 :gravity so I think it is fine now.
and it is weak in first turn. If it is 0/15, you can SoF+ gravity force. it is still powerful.
 :gravity have charge,unstopable, not really need PC to destory shield.

To do summary, I think sof is just Ok now.

Now that it costs gravy quanta, i don't think there's a need for the black hole (if quanta allows) perk. Perhaps change it to something else, like gravity pull?

It would have been better to change the ability to gravity than the cost, but oh well. Shards got a real color now.

This makes me soooo happy  ;D.

I think I agree with Avenger though:

It would have been better to change the ability to gravity than the cost
Maybe leave the cost as it was and make the ability 1 :gravity. This still gives it a prominent role in gravity and rainbow/speedbow decks (which I think is fair) but removes it from most other decks (also fair).

I never really liked this card. My favourite decks are pretty permanent heavy (time being my favourite element, 6 hourglasses being my first upgraded cards). Finding these in practically EVERY gold/platinum arena deck was very frustrating.

The  :rainbow rainbow shards of focus were the staple of my decks.  I loved them so much that it is hard to imagine playing without them being like that.

Clearly a sign that they were too good; if not too good to be true, then a least too good to last.

If you're playing a rainbow, then one or two of these can still be included without problem, but it'll be harder to play them of course.

I hate them so much I would even love them to be nerfed even more and have the ability changed even more to 1 or 2  :gravity. I have 4 upped by now but I don´t think I will use them for a long time since I don´t want to make others feel annoyed like I feel facing those decks. Just my 2 cents.  ;D
