General Discussion / Re: Embarassing moments

Much worse moment -- finally beat three plat arenas in a row, the third deck was doing the stupid spin that was going to fail, but just when I hit okay, it switched to the bonus spin, which immediately cancelled itself so I lost my sexy bonus upgraded rare prize. 

I feel like this is a sub-optimal design choice, to have the button you push to hit okay for the regular spin suddenly shift into cancelling the bonus spin, with no confirmation. I am a sad panda.

General Discussion / Embarassing moments

« on: January 18, 2012, 09:06:13 am »

So, I'm trying the Platinum Arena League, and I finally win two games in a row and just need one more to get the good spin. But I'm up against this annoying deck that seems to have an infinity of rewinds, and it's kicking my posterior. And I'm getting irked at this because it's becoming impossible for me to keep anything on the table, and I'm now pretty much doomed, and I glance at the name of this jerk who built such an annoying deck that ruined my chances for a superspin... and it's me.

Mind Gate, hands down.  You never play the same game twice when you have that out.

This was my answer until they made Shard of Serendipity. Now I'm grinding arena in hopes of getting 6 of that shard.

General Discussion / Re: Which element wins if you're only allowed to make mono decks?

Probably fire. Mono-fire decks tend to be pretty common even in an environment where people aren't restricted to mono decks.

Yay update! This makes the cat much more playable to make good duos with death. Not that I've gotten one working yet, mind you. But fun anyway.

Here's some theme for the scorps: A forest scorp has a mild sting, but it will attack anything, that's its nature. The death and dune scorpions have to be angered first, but once they're mad, watch the &@^$ out.

General Discussion / Re: Most Hated Deck

Starting to be SN-powered rainbows. I feel like more than half of the arena is either SN-bows or Fire. I give most of these thumbs down, and anything I don't see a lot thumbs up.

General Discussion / Re: Lava Destroyer + Heavy Armor = 7/7

« on: December 01, 2011, 06:35:35 am »

People always overlook the Scarab+Heavy Armor thing... It's very powerful, especially if you're playing a Nova or PSNbow, a 2/7 devourer with good potential of coming out on turn 1 is a hard thing to handle for most decks.

But you sort of have to build your deck around it then, no? Without HA, a lone Scarab is pretty sad..

Death / Re: Bone Wall / Bone Wall (Elite)

« on: December 01, 2011, 06:31:34 am »

If you have a Bone Wall, and your opponent too, and you use steal, you will replace all your charges for 1 charge.

This surprised me too. I know stealing with an empty board only steals one, but I figured it would stack if you already had some.

General Discussion / Re: Elemental Popularity! Which one is your favorite?

« on: November 29, 2011, 08:11:54 am »

Ragidy pretty much covered what I was gonna say. 

Although I'll post anyway to say Mindgate is my favorite card in the game.

Not quite sure what you're asking here.

Something like:
Fire has good PC and fast creatures
Life has good creatures but no PC
Entropy has a great toolkit but limited cheap beats

?

Card Ideas and Art / Re: Shelter | Aegis (rework)

Just realized this is very similar to a card currently in the armory section.

Would you mind linking it rather than wasting valuable space in this thread?
