It only feels biased against you because you only remember the times it goes badly, there have been loads of times when i have won a game out of sheer luck but these instances are far less memorable than when the game seems to be against you.

good point... But for T50, this is not true. Some times, i just play against the same three farms again and again... This is nice, but not "fair"

So wait, if you can't attack, how does this help you win? oh i guess you could poison and chain these. If you don't have another one of these or a phase shield, you automatically die because you can't heal before it resets your hp.

poison, spells, and weapons, or deck-out of the opponent. Vampire reversed are another way (as your opponent's creatures still attack).
I think other ways will come into the game, and this card could become very strong.

On behalf of tigers everywhere, Im sure if they could vote they wouldnt want to be all killed, and those left alive live in cages/zoos.

How many deaths do tigers cause each year? Are Fundamentalist Muslims, deer, cars & peanut allergies all responsible for more deaths, cos I'm sure we can make all these extinct?

You should not put on the same level humans, animals and items. I am pretty sure you can try to get rid of animals and items.
But you can"t get rid of people, cause the problem is never people, but ideas, and ideas are difficult to kill, if not impossible.

I think we don't need to save them. But if they extinct, we will not know how to make new tigers.
So I vote to keep a few in zoo and in closed

nature reserved

, and to kill

the others.

- I have ten quantum pillars and don't get any gravity quantum during 2 turns (odds are less than 1/1'000'000'000)
...more like 1:185 .

I have 10 pillars, so I produce 30 random quantum a turn, and 60 quantum in 2 turns.
The probability of not producing one type of quanta is (1-1/12)^60 =

1/185

LOL you are right, I failed my first computation...

General Discussion / Randomness in Elements

I feel there is a big problem in the randomness of elements.
every days examples :

- I have ten quantum pillars and don't get any gravity quantum during 2 turns (odds are less than 1/1'000'000'000)
- I play against TOP50 and still have the same opponents
- Devourers always eat my most wanted quanta
- I don't get any cards with the oracle, and suddenly i got three nymphs in a row during the week-end

Please, add your suspicious experience in this thread, and any solution you think about.
