Eternal Phoenix / New False God: Eternal Phoenix

« on: April 11, 2010, 04:55:07 pm »

Hi,

just played against the new god

spams cheap Minor Phoenix, has both Permanent control (Explosion) and Creature control (Firestorm, Fire Lance)

it's a very tough god, maybe the hardest at the moment..
with a normal rainbow, you will get rushed and you'll probably die before you can do anything

The deck (from this thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,4938.0.html)):

Fighting a FG: winning turn, at full HP

I play, just for fun, every cards thats left on my hand and use every skill (reversing my oty, eating FFQ xD)

Playing out Miracle makes me lose a health Point (!!) und i destroy my Empathic Bond not minding that i wont heal that last HP for elemental mastery

this is the easiest way to lose 60 electrum

And a little edit to your post.  Devourer/pest is not included in the burrow rule.  Their attack isnt halved (maybe its a new change but it doesnt for my fractal/pest deck)

they have 0 attack, halving keeps it at 0, so...

if you hit them with blessing (+3) and then burrow, they should have 1 attack

I don't think you need to put the exact mechanics of every card up here. That's what the wiki is for -you can link to the relevant articles there. No need to list all Chaos Seed effects here. This guide should probably focus on giving a crash course of the more immediately relevant information ommited from the cards. I've seen quite a few fire deck users try to use Rain of Fire on my immaterial creatures and I always find it kind of sad to watch.

this sounds good, lets keep it as you suggest

Some abilities cannot be gained through mutate.  You will never see a mutant with phoenix (or a nymph ability, I'm not sure)

Ok, let's collect the abilities which can be acquired with mutation:
Deja-vu, Burrow, Lobotomise, Lycantrophy, Destroy, Steal, Mutation (not "improve"), Paradox, Scavenger, Heal, Devour, Dive, Gravity Pull, Growth, Ablaze, Freeze, Poison, Hatch, Infect, Immortality, Momentum

not gainable creature skills: any Nymph Ability, Photosynthesis, generate Firefly/Scarab, Immortality ("grant Immortatlity to target"), Evolve, Vampire
edit: changes to capital letters for better reading

also, the ability cost is 1-2 of the same quantum as the creature

passive skills (graboid's burrowedness, devourer's quanta devouring, any further?) are active with a new random ability at the same time (a burrowed destroy creature is pretty awesome )

any idea how to put all this in the first post?^^ maybe "Mutation and related: see post #99" ?

Mutating a pheonix does not turn it into an ash (not sure about this one)

What do you mean? Phoenix/Ash are not treated specially when hit with mutation?

Thanks for your contribution

Did you know that if this becomes a game instead of a real discussion on unknown game mechanics, it will be moved to Forum Games?

hahahaha EPIC PWNAGE 

Did you know that i died once against fire queen's fire bolt? -.-
it took me too long to get control so she racked up ~100 and hit hard

Did you know that creatures with 0 Attack do not attack and thus are not affected by shield effects?
