Trio & Quartet / Re: MrSexington's "Zomg Hope!" Deck

« on: March 14, 2010, 10:21:32 pm »

Obvious weaknesses: Rain of Fire, Plague, and general mass creature control. Draining quanta would probably screw this deck over as well, in addition to bad draws.

mark is 

this is what i would run. fractal a RoL early to buff the shield and start building light quanta. then fractal a dragon, spam them and luciferase them to solidify your shield even when the RoLs get nuked.

I think Phase Spider Fractal might still be faster

actually i don't think phase spider + fractal will work anymore. you can play out phase spiders, but as soon as you fractal one you're stuck with a hand full of creatures and no quanta. fractal + ball lightning i think still works though.

this still works quite well against ai3 after the fractal nerf. (ie, drains all  after use)

Aether / Re: Lightning Storm (new card)

just saw this card in the trainer. i basically came up with the same thing. just added precogs to speed it up. it definitely needs to be nerfed.


mark is of course

Competitions / Re: Competition: Best Weapon Idea

@ftbhrygvn, i'm a little confused as to how this works...

wouldn't its ability create a new weapon, and then that weapon would just be played over the first?

i'm glad that this deck is inspiring some new designs. i like the idea of forest specters over lava destroyers. that pretty much been a permanent change to the deck i'm testing now. i'm not sure about eternity yet. usually if i include it, i also add a PA and FQ so i have a creature that can actually be bounced more than a few times. i haven't started getting any real consistent statistics so far, as i haven't settled on a build that feels right yet.

Any other suggestions, or is the card fine and balanced as is?  Or should I instead assume it's not interesting enough to be a contender in the contest?

i think the ability cost needs to different. fire comes to mind first, but that does ruin the aesthetics of the card.  this plus permafrost shield is already quite powerful. not letting it stay mono would help. also instead of increasing the damage done to frozen creatures for the upped version from one to two, i would better one of the other stats. reduce the ability cost from three to two is what i would do.

i think this card is WAY OVERPOWERED!

it needs to cost 10
make it deal no damage
make it reduce attack by 0
make the shades 0|0 that have the ability: 'sit around'

@Delreich - not directed at you (or anyone inparticular). those are reasonable suggestions, though i don't agree with the last one.

The next time the card is drawn, it is a CREATURE not a weapon.

on top of the 'any targeted spell other than steal kills this card' clause you would have to mention the fact that it returns as a creature after it's been flown as this is not how all the other weapons work. like jmizz said, stick to simplicity. your original idea was interesting while still being straight forward and easy to understand.

Card Ideas and Art / Re: Best Weapon Idea Contest Entry - Heavy Axe/Great Axe

« on: March 12, 2010, 05:26:43 pm »

actually, since all the 'other' weapons are non-rare, my goal was to make another weapon that could be included with the ones already in the bazaar. i didn't want it to outclass them so much that it would become a rare. i probably should have mentioned that i intended this to be non-rare.

this does the most damage out of any weapon in the game, so there needs to be a fairly substantial reason not to play it over a gavel. i suppose with the hp loss the cost could still be reduced from 5/4 to 4/3 though.

also, it's true that there are still more powerful weapons in the game, there are still scenarios where people would use it. mono-air might always want to use eagle's eye, but mono-entropy might not always want to use discord.

Really, if it's that overpowered, I'll increase the ability cost to 4 and upgraded 3 .

i don't think it's OP at all. i think it's quite powerful, but so is pulverizer. plus i would love to see an eclipse nuked with a board full of shades. like pulling the rug out from under them, it would make me laugh out loud.
