Competitions / Re: Voting: Card Art

« on: February 25, 2010, 11:29:50 am »

Would help if we knew where the art was going. It's all quite uncreative if the target was a card called blizzard.

Most likely towards a card of some kind, cause, you know, this is a card art competition. There doesn't need to be a specific card that people design for. Maybe in future competitions. But this was just a generic competition. The art governs the card, not the card governs the art, in this case at least.

Knowing that makes it much easier to vote.

9|9 for 9 is better than 10|10 for 12 or 12|12 for 13 especially if you want 6 more cards in your stock to put on the table.

Agreed the Archangel is superior than the Nymph but I'm not comparing it against the Archangel only.

I'm comparing the use of the Light Nymph in a light deck to the use of a Water Nymph in a Water deck. At this evaluation the Light Nymph is better for me.

In any case I would always keep 6 even if I never used them simply because of the effort to aquire them if they one day became useful.

Question!

If this is 1.20, why does the bottom left of the login screen say 1.19? :p

Because the Build Manager thinks its too much work to re-label a build.
O wait never mind thats just my work.

Competitions / Re: Voting: Design A Quest

This is a very messy competition.
Because the criteria wasn't constrained we have entries of various types including new ways to quest and new mechanics even. To win here won't mean much unless Zanz also agrees the content is appropriate. (Just Personal Opinion)

Second to that, all activated effects on all the Nymphs except Light are extremely useful if needed. The Grey Nymph kills very quickly and the malignant cells can be offset with a skull shield or better. This is probably why people dislike the light nymph but she has muscle to replace lack of skill.

Oddly I find the Water Nymph the least useful. The Light nymph is 9|9 for 9 so goes quitewell in a Light Hardcore deck with Golden Dragons. The Water Nymph is 1|2 for 9 and then another 4 to create the new Nymph where the tears cost 7 and I can make a Water Nyph if I need one from a Sapphire pillar.

Card Ideas and Art / Re: Evolution

« on: February 24, 2010, 01:28:00 pm »

So it's inefficient even compared to purify? From your logic, all new cards are supposed to be stronger than the cards that are currently in the game, this of course will imbalnce the game game everytime a additional card is added. I agree that this card is not the most useful, but it certainly isnt the worst by a long shot

Its inefficient compared to anything, even purify. From my view Purify does something that nothing else can so it has a place. Evolution does not do anything I could do better with another card. You are misinterpreting my logic. I believe that in the perfect world all cards would be exactly equivalent and only the meta changed their strength. I believe that evolution is so close to useless that if added to the current card set it would be the worst card. Maybe equal with Lucifern.

You guys keep working on it if you like it, but I don't like it and won't until I see it have some purpose. This isn't the cardboard world so we don't need to make fillers for packs and this is what it feels like to me.

Time / Re: Golden Hourglass/ Electrum Hourglass

Approximately how many for a 60 rainbow? (with no sundials)

6 and always 6.

It is important to get one in hand as soon as possible. The only way to do this is to have the full compliment. You don't have to play them all and the card drawing will offset the redunduncy. Someitimes its a good thing to play them even if you cant use them or need them because the AI treats them as a high priority target and it will protect your shards, bonds, graveyards etc.
