It's like a pillar (tower in this case) except it goes in a different pile, it's limited to 6 in a deck, and if it matches your mark it makes a pile there (untargetable).

His matches and didn't seem to stack with the other one Well, in teh same pile

Jumbalumba, can the mark be targetted by protect artifact/pulveriser/etc or once ingame it's also permanent like the original one ?

It's a Relic. It's a placeholder for Nymph cards since the Nymphs cannot be won in the slots. It is absolutely useless, does not upgrade and can be sold for i think it was 110 electrum.

Correction: Sells for 1025 electrum. i iz got one ;p

Hopefully, this "predicting False God" thing will encourage the community to think of decks aimed at defeating certain False Gods. That would be great.

What, going once per day? Humm...
For a minimum deck tweak... yea..  i wouldn't bother to go get my entire other deck to beat divine glory... xD

Statistically, i do. I just know my luck too well. If it made me happy now something awfull's about to come  *hides*

Talking about it, any idea on what's the chance of getting a nymph? (provide details: x% chance getting any nymph or each?)

lucky bastard

Ahah you'll have a good nymph before i'll have my second Personally i don't think light one is good heh. xD

"Get the card" button just appears 10% of the time (for non-nymph cards) and 100% (nymphs), if i remember correctly what zanzarino said. Also, if it appears, then you HAVE to get it, can't leave oracle not getting it so there's no way you miss it except if you close the browser, of course.

As you might have seen, that statistic was suggested quite some time ago.

Average Cards Left statistic, is very situational and has lots of variables. I totally agree with you in it. I myself fill up that value between 1 and 3 very often and having eternity i know i last for more than that.

About cards won, it's just as it says, cards won. We noticed some people keep track on that on the forums, just as general statistics.

None of these values influences how good or bad the deck is, and cards left on deck may also not mean that deck is too small or too big for the reasons you and i have remembered, possibly others. Hence, both these values are optional. If you can't be bothered to insert them, don't, i guess anyone can say you didn't by checking they're not really right (if inserted couple of them when started), or if at zero.
Also if anyone wants to pay attention to ACL on deck, we can assume for now they know the deck which has been the case, they can tell its possibly not really important, mainly when having eternity in it.

Then again, you don't have to fill those values.

If you want for some reason, i can delete that data from your battles, leaving the rest intact, making it seem you never inserted it.

Let us know about any suggestions you might have ;p

About paradox, why bother with the little 1/1s? if you are at 100hp, and got just quantum for 3-4 casts, just take 7/8 damage per turn. Most times he ends up buffing one up to at least 8/x

Much like how it only takes three fireflies to negate the health you're getting back from a light dragon, if there's over a dozen little enemies they ARE going to wear down the various +2 or +5 healths you get. I'm in a match with Paradox again right now and this is the first match where he's EVER bothered buffing anything past five, which is giving me a lot more bang for my entropy quantum and does make it less painful. For the half-dozen previous matches though, wow, that was painful.

I was talking "About paradox" ...
But still, Fireflies have an initial (..) power of 4, whereas photons and deja vu's 2.
The idea is, as long as you take no damage or near no damage (after all the +damage+life's), unless if low hp, you're fine. so if you just antimatter one creature with power 8 the FG starts eventually taking 8 damage per turn while dealing nearly zero (considering small creatures countering big ones healing).

Of course, as the game rolls you get more quantum and can eventually debuff smaller ones. But with 5-8 entropy quantum only, i won't bother with a 1/1 ~2/2 creature. i'll rather wait 5-10 turns taking 1-2 damage per turn.
I will wait less if several small creatures are in field of course but i guess you see my point: You don't need to get 300 life per turn. As long as you don't lose too much, you're fine. Elemental Masteries are a nice bonus indeed but i myself don't mind to just win. Each new chance to get an upgraded card from spins is worth more than the 121 coins i get by an elemental master, this is specially true when i can play the most games possible in the less time possible:

The point shouldn't be the overall score, but the total time invested.

Edit:
To support what i said, check my game against Rainbow . Why bother with that forest spectre even tho i have plenty quantum for it?
I have time... let him build it up. if he will use miracle he will have a nice creature against himself.
