Is there a better or more viable unupped deck, even if it had rares?

Seism / Re: Oracle : Seism

The unupgraded deck - how exactly does it win? I'm 0/6 against seism with it as of today.
It seems that the moment you play dimensional shield, you will not get enough quanta to play a phase dragon until when your dimensional shield runs out, where playing another dimensional shield will prevent your ability to play the dragon.
Also, if you don't go first, you're liable to lose 2 pendulums, regardless.
I have never managed to get him below 150 HP...

I think the "ignore shield" effect should stick to gravity...

Bah, really early in the morning.
I'd say I prefer the split tournaments for people on opposite sides of the world.
Tournament looks interesting, though.

Gah, sorry, I never saw the "special rules" spoiler.
Guess I'm out of this one.

Card Idea Competition Submissions / Round 1: Large Maggot | Giant Maggot

« on: February 28, 2012, 05:00:44 am »

NAME:: Large Maggot ELEMENT: COST: 2 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2|1 TEXT: Each turn, large maggot drains and gains +1|+2.	NAME: Gigantic Maggot ELEMENT: COST: 2 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2|3 TEXT: Each turn, large maggot drains and gains +1|+2.

ART: --- IDEA: Retribution NOTES: Based on the idea of a maggot feeding off of you and slowly getting bigger. Synergy between darkness & time, works well with devourer. If maggot cannot drain  , it will die. (Or maybe that's too harsh, lose X HP?) When adrenalined, the ability will function similar to venom. SERIES: ---

Deck Help / Re: Armour

Why not use armagio's for acceleration, and pack in a few momentums as separate cards? Would seem much more effective.
Also, you're going to need some pendulums. Your mark might not be able to power all that earth quanta.
This deck seems to have a slow start-up, so a shield would be recommended as well.

Technically photon would be equally powerful as a dirk because it still has an infinite ratio.

What % is a small chance?
Also, this doesn't really fit with the Elements fantasy mechanic, nor are instant kills very interesting...

Skull Bucklers?

You bring up a good point.
However, that card is a shield and only one of it can be played. This card can be put on the field 23 times (possible with fractal).
I will reconsider my opinion if I know what this small % is. Did you mean that it works in a similar manner to the shield?

Card Ideas and Art / Bonecrusher | Bonecrusher

« on: January 27, 2012, 02:16:29 am »

NAME: Bonecrusher ELEMENT: Death COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: 3 | 6 when flying TEXT: Weapon: Deal 3 damage at the end of every turn. : Sacrifice a creature. Bonecrusher gains +2 ATK.	NAME: Bonecrusher ELEMENT: Death COST: 1 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: 2 | 6 when flying TEXT: Weapon: Deal 2 damage at the end of every turn. : Sacrifice a creature. Bonecrusher gains +2 ATK.

ART: IDEA: Retribution NOTES: The creature has to be yours, of course. Synergy with bonewall, boneyard, vulture, soul catcher etc. Ability can only be used once per turn. The name is "Sacrifice" (couldn't fit on card) Base damage and cost can probably be tweaked. If anyone can find or make suitable art, here's something that I think the card's image would look like: http://media.playdota.com/items/72/thumb.jpg SERIES:
