Anyone know if there will be any change in AI decks ?

I would love to see former decks added to elders or, even better,  new ones.

Issue Archive / ball lightning + luciferase, double death effect [unconfirmed]

« on: January 17, 2011, 10:56:31 am »

 using that deck : http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19463.0.html , and facing graveyard, I noticed a powerfull bug.

When you play luciferase on a ball lightning, it triggers death effect then the ball die another time on its attack turn.

It is easy to test it. Even without any death effect affected cards, you'll see the animation and hear the sound.

It also can be used to create powerfull combo, but need long set up.

Soon to be confirmed

The Sword looks better than that single Micro. And instead of Morning Star.. Hope?

Micro Abomination is cheap and solid. This is the kind of creature you want against maxwell demon.
I see no point in hope as it is supposed to be a rush deck to does pretty well its job.

The name "Photon Fission" makes no sense.

Also, I'd rather take a Discord. Less damage per quantum, but it slows down the opponent and can help with EMs.

You're right, I'm looking for another name. I was looking for somekind of physical reaction involving light.
That's why I even tried to insert a maxwell demon because of maxwell equations have something to see with the photon behaviour.

according to morning glory, my goal was to make a deck that renders any PC useless but Discord seems great even if you can't play it quickly.

I'm very confused on the inclusion of holy light over the alternative luciferase..

Holy light is very effective against decks that packs CC.
For example, imagine you got an eagle eye in your opponent hand, you keep buffing your main creature while you heal it with holy flash. 10hp on a massive creature is plenty.

After 50 match more, ttw turns to be closer to 7 and EM rate drop by half.

I also lost 2 times aginst those damn dim. shield chain.

I try several ideas to twist it, like changing micro abomination for improved mutation or maxwell demon (with towers).

But right now, I'm trying :

Code: [Select]

6tu 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7js 7js 7jv 7jv 7jv 7jv 7jv 7jv 7k1 7k3 7k3 809 809 809 809 809 809
The recent change of luciferase makes it a pretty decent card compare to before.

More solidity, more EM, maybe even quicker, as you don't really need the micro abo with all the floating particles around.

I've just build this deck this morning and found its rush capacity wasn't too bad.

It's pillarless and seems not to be hurt by bad draws.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

Deck import code : [Select]

6rk 6tu 6tu 6tu 6tu 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7js 7js 7jv 7jv 7jv 7jv 7jv 809 809 809 809 809 809 8pj

That deck takes more time to play than classic straight forward rush but gains in versability.

I just took records over 20 games and finished with a 6.6ttw and 40%EM. (AI3)

Going on recording later.

Neurotoxin is a form of poison.  Purify removes all poison.  Therefore Neurotoxin stops affecting you when Purify is used until that poison counter becomes yellow again.

Sounds like the reason why.
I noticed the problem just happens playing purify.
I though that neurotoxin always apply after being hitted by a dune scorpion, regardless if your counter is blue positive or yellow negative.

Playing against the new AI3 carrying dune scorpions, I noticed several times that neurotoxin don't act anymore once purified.

Being attacked one more time by this feared desert hitters and playing cards afterward , in under conditions, does not increase anymore your poison counter.

I'm still looking for this conditions.


Anyone else ??

It may also be usefull in a scarab swarm to bypass shield.

Basilik blooded gem finder seems a nice target too in terms of cost effectivness.
