General Discussion / Re: The Rent Is Too Darn High: 193 cards - 1,737,000 electrum

The rent is too damn high (

) for anyone that isn't tuned in.

On topic, as more and more cards are added the grind keeps piling up.  Imagine being a newbie today with that mountain infront of you.

Can you put up the results against the FG? Or which are the best FG to face with this deck?

Sure. I'll do a 50 or 60 sample with this deck. I'd recommend trying it out in the Trainer "http://www.elementsthegame.com/trainer" first.

Also, just paired up with Graviton for the first time tonight. Perhaps another lucky hand.

This is my current FG build. I find it a lot more fun and less time consuming than a SGbow variant.

The main purpose isn't to fractal like you'd expect in a CC Why Bother? variant, but rather to Antimatter & Liquid Shadow a main enemy damage dealer.

1. Antimatter 7+ attack target.
2. Liquid Shadow Antimattered target if they have 7+ HP, the higher the better.
3. Lava Golem Quinted for gradual damage.
4. Drop Improved Fog always if you don't have Jade Shield.
5. Drop Jade Shield against direct damage or permanent controlling FG's. Otherwise Permafrost it up.
6. Pulvy's are obviously just permanent control, think Feral Bond, Unstable Gas, Dusk Shield, Fire Shield, Jade Staff, you name it.
7. It's no 5 turn win, but you can get the job done before decking out.


Notice the Miracle giving me plenty of elbow room for smacking him in the face? This was the first match I paired up to try and take a snapshot with. Got lucky maybe, or it's just a fairly decent build.

im thinking about changin the card text to something like this; "Evolution: Caveman gains +1/+1 a turn
  : Grow" and raising the cost maybe by 1

Oh, I like that.

Evolution: +1/+1 every turn, and raise the cost by (1)

Additionally for all it's worth, Fotosynthesis made a lot of the monster you see in Elements today using "Spore Creature Creator". Perhaps you might want to consider investing some time into tinkering and making your own Greater Demon.

At first I thought your "Greater Demon" was Nidhogg from Final Fantasy X.

Then, I rethought about it and recognized it as one of the most notorious dragons. Bahamut from Final Fantasy 9.

I took your advise and:
 - Dissipation Shield 
 + Permafrost Shield

Although i m not that happy that it costs me 7
If i get it in the first 3 hands it pretty sucks, because i won't be able to play it for long (~5 turns mostly).
But, the good thing is that works marvellous.

Also, i grinded T50 to get the green shards.
I ve now got 3 SoG; most probably i will grin until i get the 6th; and remove the heal  and the improved heal 
Maybe i could trhow an ehnhance/protect artifact or another quintessence (many gods either explosion my weapons or shocwave/rage/rewind/etc my fling weapons or creatures.
I mean, basically i either grow an army with oughty+graveyard+fallen elf or with elite queen+fallen elf.

What do you think?

I find that...

1. If you have a Oty, always play it as a primary creature.
Fallen Elf and Firefly Queen are second tier and can be played with the similar priority but Fallen Elf takes priority.

2. When choosing which is the best to pair up with, I'd have to say Fallen Elf. Fallen Elf can mutate a Skeleton into a create which may or may not change the game (steal, devour, paradox, congeal, precognition) while Firefly Queen cannot. Fallen Elf can most importantly mutate those large ogres of creatures that your opponent plays.

For example, let's say a Forest Spirit was played and it's up to twenty-some HP. Now, mutating it might give it an ability which causes a concern for a turn, but if your Oty has 9 HP and the newly mutated create has less than that (most cases does), then you'll just eat it for a win-win. Always mutate any game-changing threats before mutating your own creature. Slightly risky, but if you have a creature of your own that can paradox, congeal, or devour again... because of previous Fallen Elf mutations, it's still better than simply have a FireFly Queen that only produces a single monster.

In this case, strategy takes priority over brute force. An army is created from Boneyard and Oty with Reign of Fire far faster and more efficiently than FFQ can on its own in substitute for Fallen Elf.

Fallen Elf > Firefly Queen. When choosing which to quint determine if you have Feral Bond or SoG. If SoG's more than Feral Bonds, then Fallen Elf wins.

In this deck, Permafrost shield takes a bit to get up and running. However, as any FG Eternity based deck suggest, it takes at least seven turns to truly get setup properly in most cases. Generally Permafrost takes less than 10.

Art Class / Re: Lesson 1: An Introduction

bored_ninja777: It's a start, but it's pretty flat as is. Try to work in a bit more perspective, or use a more dynamic pose. Experiment with some small scribbles, to see where you end up. You mention the colours, too; I'd really like to see some work on that.


TENSUKI: I'm fairly certain that that isn't your work. I can see why you posted it, but at this point, it's prety irrelevant. This is not about the concept.

ArtCrusade: Why the heck did you start over? If a painting seems to not work out, the best thing you can do is to keep going at it until it's completely screwed up. The more you work on it the more you'll realise where you made the mistakes - this is something you learn a lot from!


Kael: Your sketch is rough, but a good (and effective) start. Your experience with technical drawing shows, and that's a great thing for concept art. However, you seem to be a bit too focused on the concept. The only requirements I gave in this assignment, was to create art for the Changeling card. That's it. Concept developments is quite a few steps further down the line.

That's a bit disheartening. Nonetheless, you're right.

Good luck on the Art Class! I really like what you're doing.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of what a changeling might look like is Sora in Anti-form:
