General Discussion / Re: Card Collectors spreadsheet

« on: May 25, 2010, 05:12:21 pm »

Sounds like you did great work!  Call me stupid, but I can't find the link to download the spreadsheet.

I know this is an old thread, but I found it because I decided to make my own spreadsheet and figured I'd see if anyone had done the same to fill in some holes in my data.  I don't have near the calculations you do.  All I've calculated is the total loss and percentage of loss on the sale of cards, both upped and unupped.

I get bored of my deck quickly and often sell cards to build a new deck.  I started thinking I've lost tons of money by selling all those cards and decided to figure out loss percentages for all the cards.  That way, if I have a choice between selling two cards I can choose the one with the lowest loss percentage.  Even if that choice sells for less than the other, if the percentage of loss is less it's the better choice in the long run, assuming it gives me enough to buy the new card I'm wanting.

Anyway, how can I get this spreadsheet?

Deck Help / Re: Quantum help with aether/death deck.

Thanks Icy!  I knew someone had to have put this deck together before, but I couldn't find the threads.  Thanks for the links.  I learned something from them.  I've been playing the Vultures before the Sparks and they've been attacking before getting boosted.  I should have figured that out earlier.

Yeah, I know a 30 card deck is more efficient, but when I made the deck I really felt like I needed 6 Fractals and Sparks to increase the chance of drawing them.  I'll try it with just 3 of each for a 30 card deck.  If that doesn't work, I'll tweak it some more.

Thanks again!

Deck Help / Quantum help with aether/death deck.

The strategy of this deck works pretty good.  Put out a Bonewall and a few vultures then use Fractal to spam Sparks like mad.  The problem I'm having is quantum.  With a mark of  I end up low on  and with a mark of  I end up low on  .  Does anyone have any suggestions on which I should choose?  Should I just pick one and add more pillars of the other?  I used Scardgirl's QI formula to get as close to 5 as I could by calculating the two elements independently from one another.

Here's the deck:

Code: [Select]

52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52k 52k 52k 52r 52r 52r 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61p 61p 61p 61p 61p 61p 622 622 622 622 622 622

Oh yeah!  Just got this from the Oracle.  It's my first Nymph.  Can't wait to try it out!

Well, basically it's like Shard of Divinity only smaller and in reverse.  SoD only says it affects max HP, but it also affects current HP to keep it where it was proportionally to max HP.

I don't think it needs rewording.  I was just wondering if it worked like SoD.

Where do I get the beer quanta to activate this ability?

If you take 10 damage from a Black Dragon and your max HP decreases by three, you're still at 90 HP.

Wouldn't this be different if you play the Wither Beast before the Dragon?  The Beast will decrease your max HP to 97, then the Dragon will hit you for 10 taking you to 87.

do you get the new creature or does your opponent get it?

Depends on who owns it originally.  It's the "target creature" so if you target your own creature it's yours and if you target your opponents creature it's theirs.

I'm a little confused on the wording.  When the max HP is lowered is it still at 100%?

I love this card.  It's essential in my mono darkness deck.  I would lose if I replaced it with anything else.
