Personally I hate the card. But the evidence I am offering is on the pretense that it is Extremely inefficient when compared against any other card I could use from the Bazaar. I think I'll have to step away from this one as you guys can see something I cannot. When it gets made and becomes top tier I'll jump back on the wagon. Until then I can't support this card in any way, sorry.

A question for the people who think this card is playable in a uselful way can you offer me a deck with it in and how you would use it?

Also Pretend I'm playing a Rainbow deck, my only creatures are a Otyugh, a Fallen Druid and a Firefly Queen (Elite). I use Quints on them as soon as they Hit play. I do run Graveyards. When and how do you use this card against me?

I've been thinking back to when I first started to try for upped cards. Except for cost efficiency there was no reason I needed any upgraded card. As it is this card is simply card disadvantage for myself.

Also, off topic, @kael - is Black Scorpion a new clan, or just a forum thing? Been out of l5r a while but i still love them scorpion. would love to hear of a shadow-type scorpion, like the old shadowlands scorpion decks
It is a Faction within the Scorpion Clan. We came into action in Emerald edition and are known for our use of Murder. I am one of the founding members. We gained a noteriety in 2007-2008 when I claimed Top Scorpion with a deck that purely eliminated all opponents personalities. In one game I killed over 40 Nezumi (everything in his deck and everything he brought back for a second time). Most of the Black Scorpion were lost with the Involvement of Bayushi Shinzo. Those that are left tend to remain in secret. I am currently in Exile from the Empire. My views on the promotion of a Dragon to that of Emperor due to internal dealings disgusted me and I have a wasting Disease. I haven't played L5r since. PM me if you want to know more.

Magni the Mirror Mage  :light :light :light :light :light :light
N|N
Passive Ability: Mimic.  Magni the Mirror Mage's power and toughness are equal to the power and toughness of the latest creature played.  If no creature is played after Magni the Mirror Mage is played, Magni the Mirror Mage dies.
Again bad name. How about Mirror Spirit. And make it copy the creature that is in the box opposite. If it has no opposite it is 0/8 Immortal.
Another good point.  I like the concept of it picking the one on the other side of the field.  But I think it should be a normal 0|8, why would it be immortal?
Ooops forgot to Explain this. Like Reflective Shield it cannot be Target - It is a Mirror of Course. This also prevents it from being used for anything else as it cannot attack or gain attack or anything of such. While it has copied it will gain all traits etc of the opposite and lose Immortal unless the opposite is Immortal. This copy effect will be at the end of opponents turn / Start of your turn. Just Laugh at the Idea of a Mirror match where 2 of these are placed face to face.

Zondor the Zealous  :light :light :light
2|2
 :light Smite: Target creature takes 1 damage.
Bad name Again. How about Zealous Angel? Maybe restrict the targets to Death/Darkness creatures or creatures with higher attack?
No, don't restrict it.  It's only one damage, making it worse than parasite, so I think that keeps it balanced.  I like the new name though =D
The Restriction is more to keep it in line. The Parasite has a different Element activator to its cost and the Zealous Angel does not. To balance play control this means add restriction or cost. I'd assume Restriction as Light is Particularly restricted in targeting but has better defensive traits like Dragons being even Attack/Defense higher than normal HP values and Angels with Heal to offset the drawl of things like Thunderstorm, Rain of Fire or Poison. If you wish against Restriction, then activator should be 2 and deployment 4. Imagine when I have 3-4 of these out, I can eliminate any small creature outright whereas Poison gives me a turn to return him to hand, do an extra turn of damage, or Mutate him around poison.

I'll have to find the Post, but I believe it was said by ChrisKang that he and in a greater respect Zanzarino would not be doing Dual Element cast cards because it was both against the theme of the game and they wished not to re-Schema the whole database to handle a 2nd or more element for cost.

Then what would you play? It would probably be something along those lines, since you were talking about beating them down before they could do anything. You may use different amounts of each card, but I bet that that's the type of deck you would use.
PM'd the deck.
If you don't like it Don't use it. Tested against my Excel engine Aether deck it works fine.

Pitty the Trainer doesn't allow PVP or I'd offfer to practice with you or any of the other Masters.
Wait, you don't have these decks ingame? Even unupped? >_<...
Semi-upped yes. Pointless tho if you don't have the cardstock. Also the trainer allows you to bend or alter the deck without loss of score or asset. (I have no time towers anymore sold them off for other ideas.)

General Discussion / Re: Opinion Poll - Best Element in Elements

The way it's setup now is perfect because it shows the results only after you've voted BUT you cannot change the vote later.
I'd dispute that because within a group when one of the group is exposed to a statistical result and is the first exposed to that result he will will tend his group towards that vote. Its why when a testimony is gathered only the first of the group can be counted as witness as the rest are askew on the situation by what has been communicated to them from the first.

It matters not that you can change your vote after the fact if you haven't seen the results because we are looking for personal opinion and that variance will exist in a group anyhow, its just that people tend not to vote until they have discussed it in their circle. If shown the results of the whole group they will be varianced by the whole group, not just the circle they asociate with.

Now that you have shown the results any future vote will have evidence of comments like "look Time has x votes"  Or "come george vote for Time because Darkness is catching up".

I've done several studies in Statistics so I know what I wanted when I posted the poll. I don't agree with you changing it on me, but I'm not going to fret or rage over it.

Kael, do you understand the concept of dim shields? Mono time has no way around them without off element cards. As soon as Icy starts chaining them, I'm screwed. :|.

Any mono aethers you beat with a conventional mono time deck (for instance, 6x silurian dragon, 3x fate egg, 4x hourglass, 2x turtle shield, 15x time tower) is simply because the mono aether was poorly made and likely had very few dim shields. I would happily face either of your mono time decks with a mono aether.
Yeah I understand Phase Shields. Problem is they have to link them. If they can't or after the 18th turn they are dead. Mono Aether has no acceleration so has to be lucky to draw an endgame condition whereas that is not an issue for you. Pitty the Trainer doesn't allow PVP or I'd offfer to practice with you or any of the other Masters.

PS. I wouldn't play that deck you listed against mono-Aether.

I changed the poll so that people see the results after they have voted. I also removed the possibility of changing your vote (that was a pretty weird combination imo).

Not showing the results is just silly. People naturally want to see the results after they have voted and there's absolutely no good reason not to show them the results. We are not voting for the president here.
:(

Well it was good to see that the votes so far weren't askew.

Argh. 7 straight games with no pillars in opening hand. My deck is over 1/3rd pillars.
Really wish for a Mulligan or Re-draw tool.

A lot of creatures have different abilities with different costs when upgraded and vice-versa(ex. fallen elf/druid, puffers, FFQs just to name a few), this card can allow you to take advantage of some of the upgraded abilities without spending 1500 electrum, this way it'll give newer players an incentive on upgrading their cards. and remember that this allows downgrading of creatures as well
Still not seeing it. Add draw a card to the effect so you don't lose card advantage otherwise you could do better with a creature yourself or a destroy effect. As it stands you don't really gain or cause them a card loss during normal play.

If I knock back a Fire Fly Queen to its basic version it still pumps out fireflies I have to deal with. If I use it to pump my Queen from basic to Elite I could still be better off with another queen, a rustler, or Life Pillar to get ahead.
