Card Ideas and Art / Re: Higgs Boson | God Particle

How about a mechanism that eats up quanta.  maybe the higgs particle can summon the mass and use up the opponent's quanta.

That matches my theme, and gives the mechanism a little spice.

maybe it only can use this ability on summon?

err... any opinions?  If that idea is liked, it needs a bunch of balancing....

Actually, the problem is that you have momentum in Gravity, so you can buff this in a mono-Gravity deck...
Dunno how to fix this, but I like the idea overall.

This may sound stupid, but what if I make the card 0/-1?

Why have both this and Alfatoxin/Malignant Cell in the game? (curious)

I was hoping that the mechanics are different enough to be interesting... apparently they are not.  I have a few other ideas for the mass that could work a little better, but I was hoping to shell this one out a bit first.

Make a permanent or spell that makes higgs particle come into existence.

I don't quite understand.

Convention says that creatures with 0hp die at the end of your turn. That means these at best these will produce 1 mass and then die. Which is an expensive waste really.

Please explain how this would work since you seem to want the God Particle to survive.

I was thinking of a way to prevent a fractal. To keep it alive for more than one turn, you are already gonna need a duo, (earth, entropy, life, etc), and none of which are aether...

So this is Aflatoxin without the delay, but it's made up for by requiring you to buff it if you want it to work. It makes sense. Not exactly sure about how balanced it is considering that Mass takes up space while Malignant Cell at least forces you to use a shield.

Perhaps give Mass 5 HP and "enters the field poisoned"?

I know what you mean.  I had been thinking about how to compare it to malignant cell.  Best I can come up with is that as long as this isn't quintted, (which would require a trio)  it is susceptible to cc.  If cc'd, all mass production is stopped, unlike MCs, that can still reproduce if there are more than one...

Still not sure though.  Definitely needs some advice.

PS: check also the upped card codes

  figures.

ah, maybe I will still get a fun un-upped deck out of this.

I like yours though.  Tis a shame that I would need to pick up another element for flying staffs for pvp1

fun pvp 1 or lvl 3 deck.

*ah, hey everybody. It's been a while since I posted last. I'm sorry if this idea is Completely Unoriginal.  I used the deck searching tutorial, but couldn't find a deck that used drudic staff (5c5) with a crusader (5ll)*

 

I have been playing around with crusaders.  I like the idea of staff-wielding crusaders hopped up on adrenaline for some reason.. heh... just makes me laugh.

The idea is that you place crusaders, use adrenaline, wait a turn, use endow.
 You end up with a 4/6 adrenal'd creature that heals 5 hp with each attack (3x per round). 

the deck is slow, but it has a good chance to em.

fun fact: might work upgraded.  3/5 crusader + jade staff = 7/7 crusader that still attacks (and heals) 3x per round.

problems:

6 creatures -> cc is bad =(
quanta problems?   can't get a read on the solar shield
too many drudic staves? I could put in some toadies instead, and that would fix my first problem.

Thanks for reading this far. any advice or criticism is appreciated.

sorry if I am being stupid, but I just am not sure about the rules. ???

So if the person that I am playing against plays a graboid rush deck, then a pharaoh/scarab deck, would that be breaking the rules?  Even though graboids aren't  creatures they use 

OR

If I play a deck centered around fallen elfs, and then a deck with ffqs. Since both of their abilities use  , even if it is fed from the mark, it is illegal?

some of the comments are a little ambiguous regarding this.
 
EDIT: Ok, thanks for the clarification.

« on: October 15, 2010, 10:22:40 pm »

I kinda like your sense of humor. We need more people like that on these forums with all the seriousness lately

As for the deck, it's a popular and very well known combo. Pendulums work very well in this deck, however.

It's better against the AI though, because they're not all that strategic

Why Thank You

About a week or 2 ago, I ran into a fabulous voodoo doll/pandemonium deck.  Thats what made me want to play around with voodoo dolls, but I don't really like the entropy combo. So, here I am now.  Anyway, I kinda fudged the mark.  I am really bad at making trios, so I sort of planned a duo and use my devourers as a "darkness pillar".


But yea this works tons better against the AI.

reverse time says "poof, there goes all of your offense and defense. say goodnight ^.^" i ran into that problem quite a bit while making voodoo decks

You are correct sir.  The only solace that I have against rewind is that I can stop eternity from hitting me by using basilisk blood on a voo doo doll.  But yea, rewinds KILL this.

Like many of my plans, this  seemed like a good idea at the time.  In practice however, this deck is still pretty rough.

I would like to use this in pvp1, and in some ways, it is kinda effective. It has some HUGE strategic holes though.

1.  With a good draw, I can beat rush decks, but poison is gg for me.
2.  Momentum is also gg for me.
3.  FARM DECKS- Seriously, I lost to a FARM DECK

Also, people are smart.  If I place a gravity pulled voodoo doll, the game SLOWS down like a train-wreck.    They don't place cards until they draw something like rewind. 

I have been thinking about adding liquid shadows and/or gargoyles, but I would like to hear some advice.

EDIT: Fun fact: the mark is darkness, not just dark
