Then it gets too complicated. Your average player would have no idea how to calculate his shield's strength.

Why not make it like bone wall -- for 2 air you can add a counter. It starts with one counter and it blocks 5x % of attacks, where x is the number of counters.

Maybe put a max of 15 counters (75%) on it or something. That way it starts off as a very weak shield but gradually gets better, and if you survive long enough, gets even better than a dusk shield.

To the contrary. That 2 damage really does add up and make a difference. The only shields that affect it are turtle shells and fire bucklers, and neither of those are really used much. And they clear up bonewalls for your arsenic better.

Just some more. But these might suck...

Azure Dragon: Ironically, the only dragon that lives in the air.
Emerald Dragon: It's not easy being green.
Crimson Dragon: Thinks its hot stuff.
Bone Dragon: It's immune to flesh spiders!
Hematite Golem: What happens when you hit it with a stone dragon?
Stone Dragon: What happens when you hit a hematite golem with it?

Revision of your Cockatrice one: At first glance, a puffy, flightless bird. At second glance, well, there is no second glance.

Yea, Dark Matter. The only one having nymphs at the moment as far as i know.

That's why it was 1050. It was upgraded. Unupgraded, it's 110.

Topic I made about it.

Overall, I agree with you. Even though good upgraded false god decks are still getting 50% +, unupgraded you almost don't have a prayer.

Competitions / Re: MONTHLY CHALLENGE: Screenshots' rush

Alright. I did the master 700 quanta one (Natural Hypernova, #7) but we have a problem:
I used a PA to protect one of my 2 eternitys; the other was quinted.

Once I realized this, I refrained from using the PAed eternity. But if you look at the screenies, the AI couldn't have done anything about the eternity there even if it wasn't PAed. Heck, I didn't even need that eternity since the AI's deck glitched so I didn't have to prevent it from decking out. (This was actually a problem for me since I had planned to win through letting the AI deck out. Instead I had to wait for those nymphs to kill it).

If I really have to, I'll go ahead and redo it sometime later without the PA.

Master
Challenge 8

Since there weren't any deck restrictions, I'm assuming the final screenshot is just fine.

I don't understand the "cards left" and "cards won" feature.

With cards left, if you're trying to get a sense of the deck's speed, that's not how to do it. Sometimes a game takes forever and yet I still have 10 cards left in my deck, be it due to AI slowness or rewinds. Other times when I get the hourglasses out, the game goes very fast but I only have 3 cards left. There's too many variables that go into cards left to use it as a stat.

And with the cards won, I have no idea how that's relevant to how good a deck is.
