Eh it just looks like a generic bright sword to me, but yeah . Its better to not have a specific weapon visible imo because he can use any (besides glory ) so why focus on one in the art?

Theres a difference between balancing cards around AI and just simply discussing what effects a change might have on existing AI. Noone commented that EP or Decay's decks should cause this change to be different. They were just talking about what could happen with them with this change.

Lol games like this make me glad I have an air nymph... I had a horrible draw except the nymph, with a late pulverizer, and FQ literally drew 1 bond per turn after I got my pulverizer so s/he was still at 200 hp with me on my last card:

Fortunately I had 8 unstable gas up and a fractal, resulting in:
(http://imageplay.net/)
Notice 40 hp left with 35 damage on field plus pulverizer means I EM'd too lol.

Edit: Lol I just had one of the most epic comebacks from a horrible draw I've seen. I took this first screenshot with the intention of posting it saying how impossibly bad of a draw I got. I had 8 cards left and hadnt drawn either of my 2 destroyers, or 2 pulverizers, or air nymph, or fractal. So literally 6/8 of my remaining cards were damage cards... anyways here is that screenshot:
(http://imageplay.net/)
The next turn I finally drew a fractal, and fractal's his pegasus. Then I drew my damage cards and blew through his 200 hp in crazy time, but messed up and ended up leaving him at 2 hp with me at 2 or 3 cards left, and he of course miracled. But I had so much damage out that I was able to do it again and this time I ended up killing him on my last turn. I messed up and didnt get EM, but I cant complain too much .
(http://imageplay.net/)
Note in this game he drew a jade shield as soon as I drew my nymph so all it contributed was 1 damage per turn .

Edit2: And to add a not so happy one... look at the ridiculous start/game Chaos lord had . Note I played a 2nd turn aflatoxin on his rol, but he mutated it to a toadfish with deja vu, which turned into another with deja vu, which turned into another . And he also got a nymph with deja vu with his 2nd rol, and it turned into one with dive which he didnt even need... Oh and he also stole my Pulverizer . I had a whopping 3 turns to play since he went first...

Trio & Quartet / Re: I got Creamed by a Gavel.

« on: December 09, 2010, 08:15:55 am »

kevkev made this deck many many moons ago.  Please search before posting decks.

Thought so. Searched Immolation+Gavel, and Cremate+Gavel but didn’t turn up any hits so I gave up. And I then hit gavel and went through 3 pages and saw no decks like this.

You could've also looked at what is probably the most popular list of decks similar to this, TTW Study (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,8813.0.html) , and seen immogavel 7 decks from the top , and card for card exactly the same as this . Just sayin... lol

Rainbow Decks / Re: (1.24) CC? Why bother?

It might affect the ability to get an early tactical fractal, but its unlikely to affect the late game final punch fractal.

Relics are cards which replace nymphs and mark cards on the spins. You cant win a nymph or mark card from playing anything, only from the oracle or tournaments, so when players have those cards in their decks they become relics on the spins. They dont do anything other than use quanta so you can sell them.

Zanzarino should give credit to Final Fantasy for this card.

Pretty obvious connection IMO.

If it was copied from FF, it would only stop spells from being played rather than all cards .

Yeah the LS is for all those things. I use/used it most to get a pretty much guaranteed em by using chimera+LS last turn, but if needed it can be used as lobo or on AM'd creature. It just depends the game and the situation. As far as mindgate vs fractal, I've tried both and I always prefer'd the fractal. A lot of people like mindgate too though so its really up to you. I like being able to fractal whatever is necessary to get that last burst of damage, or just to use it for other things like fractaling bloodsuckers against incarnate and completely locking down his field, or fractaling condors against morte (with my 2nd deck) and blowing up a couple unstable gasses, making massive condors. I still fractal lava destroyers sometimes too, just depends the game and quanta situatoins. Its very flexible and nonrandom unlike mindgate which can be very random . Also I found when I used mindgate I'd either get it going so late it didnt help much or I'd get it early and end up having it compete with quints for aether quanta.

Lol I afla'd elidnis' first ultharid and he only drew 2 creatures before his board was full . Only reason the game took this long is I couldnt draw a pulverizer to destroy his bonds...
(http://imageplay.net/)

Edit: Poor elidnis. Later I played him and he never drew a single water tower the entire game. All those forest spectres and no way to grow them . I've been able to destroy his water towers before but I think thats the first time I've seen him not even draw one... lol.

This is the deck I use now:

Code: [Select]

5p0 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u7 6u7 71c 77f 77f 7ai 7ak 7dq 7dq 7gp 7gp 7q5 7q5 80h 80h 80iBefore I got the air nymph this was my favorite variant:

Code: [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u7 6u7 71c 74g 77f 77f 7ak 7dq 7dq 7gp 7gp 7q5 7q5 7te 80h 80h 80iI'd say both are pretty similar in success, with the second giving more reliable EM's, but the first being a bit more interesting to play with simply bc I love my air nymph.

Archived Decks / Re: Poseidons big freeze

« on: December 08, 2010, 11:02:17 pm »

Just to clarify if you havent seen this before, the reason its a mono is because every card is a water card. The mark doesn't change whether a deck is a mono/duo/trio/quatro/rainbow. All that matters is the cards. So even though this deck uses water and earth its still technically a mono.
