Story is this: The oracle has given me a devonian dragon the one day. I made a deck, all in good order.
The next day I again get a devonian dragon. My deck went down to rank 600 or something and was thus not active anymore. Usually that means that I "build a new deck" with that card.
But since it was the same card the button was grayed out and modifying the deck doesn't reset your rank.

Is this a bug? Or something that hasn't been thought about?
Some of you will say "sure, if you have the same card you cant make a new deck, this is totally legit"
In my opinion everyone should get the same chance in submitting his deck, which means once a day (especially since the decks age and loose HP)

I can't really think of any possibility how to abuse a free deck-submit a day, which means I think it'd be good to be able to re-submit a deck, even if it has the same oracle card.

Maybe the outcome would have been different if you had something in creature slot one, and the voodo doll in creature slot 2?
If unstable gas damages (and evaluates) the creatures in a 1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4... (yours-enemies-yours-enemies) manner, a different constellation could've killed you...

Edit: you still win, the slots are probably damaged in a 1-2-3-4-5...1-2-3-4-5... (first yours then the enemies) manner. Or you get a "bonus" for being the attacker.

The power of pandemoniums... unluckely the opponent has the vulture since he used parellel universe on it. The bonewall count is nice too.

Why not just keep the nymph the same?
What do you mean with "the same"? The same as now or the same as before 10HP were added. Because that is exactly the two "parties" that are arguing with each other.

Ok, so now we have catapult. Now we have acceleration. Everyone is dancing in joy.
Didn't we agree somewhere that the problem with the dragon is not being UP but it is its redundacy?

If I can decide between catapulting an armago or a dragon I take the armagio. Why should I waste 8 attack per turn for a smaller punch? I would even take armagios into my deck just for having a Plan B: Plan B is using the armagio's gravity pull (while the catapult "reloads" for example, if I'm just one turn from dieing)

If I can decide between accelerating an armagio or a dragon I take the armagio. The speed is pretty much the same: Either I wait until the armagio hits the 8 attack the dragon has or I wait until I have the quanta to play the dragon. It comes down to waiting. Then it also costs less. And another advantage: With the dragon it can get up to 35|1 and then it dies. With armagio I can get up to 49|1 and THEN it dies AND it had more turns on the field. Plus the plan B if I take only armagios in my deck.

I personally don't see advantages in taking the dragon, or just very situational ones.

I know I might be a bit early with being uncontent as acceleration hasnt even been put into the actual game, so I acknowledge that all my points can turn out to be invalid once the card is in the game. But I don't assume so.

The reason it can cost more and still be good is that you can use it as many times as you want for repetitive healing.
But this also holds true for the purple nymph! And yet the situation
antimatter card: :entropy :entropy :entropy :entropy :entropy :entropy :entropy :entropy
antimatter nymph:  :entropy :entropy :entropy :entropy
luciferin card:  :rainbow :rainbow
luciferin nymph:  :light :light :light :light
is the same!

Well, some FG-rainbows use it, like Skittles and CCYB (Not so much, but helps w/ Golems).
I think it's pretty balanced. Not every card needs to be a rush card ;)
Don't use FG's as an argument when reasoning about cards!

Other than that: By being nerfed it was made unplayable. The nerf should be reverted. But I dont think buffing it even more after that will be really important because upcoming changes tend to make stalls stronger (shields being buffed, small creatures producing quanta unupped, cost decrease in flooding and arctic squid...), which will maybe again counter the currently to strong rushes.

Has the art of all the pillars changed due to similar problems or just because it was booring?

I dont like the new card art.
What has reverse time to do with razors???

29 cards of one element with 1 card in the other element also count as duo......
I want to note something about looking at rules, that applies in general, even outside the internet.

I have to illustrate it with an offtopic story that really happened:
A rich man wanted to live in a village in the mountains. He builds a villa there. Around his earth the builds a fence. Now this little village has some rules (a.k.a. the village-law). One of those rules is: "Fences can be only build out of stone". What did the man do? Without knowing the village-law he has build a fence out of metal.
Some of you will cry: "He has broken the law, he has to change the fence immediantly". But in fact he was completely innocent. The judge decided that in this case the grammatical interpretation (a.k.a. "the text IS the law") is not correct and went with the teleological interpretation (teleos [not to confuse with theos] means something in the direction of "will"/"intention"). The question was "why has this law been created?". The answer was: Because up in the mountais wood is raw, and building fences out of wood would be a waste. It was never the intention of that law to prohibit metal fences. In some countries (only example I know is switzerland but I'm sure there are more) it is absolutely legal for the judge to re-interpretate the law and, in a way, to ignore it.

Why am I bringing this up? Because I see really often devils advocates around. If someone leaves a match after 0.0035 second because he sees that he has the wrong mark then the opposite side could just ignore it insdead of crying "left = forefeit". On the other hand, if someone takes a 29 cards mono + 1 photon deck then I think tournament organisers are still allowed to kick him from the tournament.
But I'm not even asking that all the "mono"-users will be kicked, or that organisers will arbitarily make up their own rules, or that we start living in anarchy. I'm asking that everyone should try to be nice, and to be a little more fair than he has to be.
I really feel like those thoughts should be stickied to google or get printed on the moon so that everyone will be reminded to calm down and forgive, from time to time.
This is why I expect to not see too many monos in this tournament.

I'd like to note that a few cards that have 0 cards are from an element. Go by color.
Are you trying to confuse? :P

A few cards that have 0 cost are colored/belonging to an element

Generate a random effect, and if it's unusable on the player (TU, Rewind, etc.) It just cancels.
Rewind could possibly make the opponent skip the next draw. Freeze (and any delay possiblilites, if ever added) would delay the weapon, like the voodo doll mechanic.
TU. Copy weapon and place it as animated? Maybe OP
Gravity pull could render your shield ineffective (since g-pulled creatures have priority over shields), but probably OP agian.
