Patch Notes and Development News / Re: Elements 1.21

What does the small green indicator mean left of my cards? It blinks red when I draw a card.

From the first page of this thread:

Bug Fix:
- Blessing/Dive should now stack properly
- Arctic Squid is treated as rare in the bazaar
- A small green/red light appeared close to the cards in the hand. Players can not play more cards while the light is red, this will prevent several overlapping effects and bugs. When this happened in pvp it also caused desync.
Side effect: players have to wait for all the effects to be resolved.

It would be nice to have a real version history maintained, with all fixed bugs, new features, etc. listed.

This thread is in the "Patch Notes and Development News" forums which seems to be exactly what you're talking about...

Not sure if shards are allowed or not.  Basically a slower/stalling deck that protects most of its permanents and uses shards, permafrost, and inundation to prevent it from dying, while eventually spiking with ice lances and dragons (or possibly winning by deck-out if the opponent can't get enough damage).  Poseidon is there to stop decks from stalling forever with Eternity, and an early protected Poseidon can be big trouble for a lot of decks.

I put low amounts of the non-shard permanents in because once one is in play and protected, the rest become dead cards.  Also, inundation only shows its usefulness at mid-late game.  Early on it is just a drain of quanta.

Minor Edit: Changed name color to blue (realized teal was for aether).

I've been messing around with it in the trainer, and the main problem I'm having is I need to wait until 2 turns have passed before I can supernova, and after that my entropy mark is pretty much useless.  However it does give it some consistency, but those two turns occasionally allow my opponent to set something dangerous up.

The smaller 30 card one seems to run much better overall, though.

How do you plan to get to use your supernovas?

The mark is entropy.  I'll make that more clear I guess.

This is an idea I was toying with after seeing some of the mono-gravity anti-rainbow decks.  Basically it relies on getting out gravity nymphs to constantly spam black hole, while you use the spare quantam in the other elements to control whatever they manage to get through while you beat them down with Arsenic.  Fire Buckler is there for immortals and Mirror Shield is for spells.  Precognition is basically a free card, and with this deck lets you see how much quantum you can let slide.

I was thinking of adding some explosions/pulverizer(s)/flying weapons as well, to really lock down the pillars or using normal novas with a water mark.  Also have an alternate slimmed down version, but I'm a little worried about deck-outs if they sneak some shards of gratitude into play.

Unfortunately I think it's just too slow compared to said mono gravity decks, but any feedback would be great.

EDIT: Added 30 card version
