Nerf This Card! / Re: Puffer Fish

« on: August 25, 2010, 11:38:43 pm »

The problem isn't the changes you made, it's the basis for why you changed the card.

You don't want your opponent to play one.

Your otyugh based rainbow can't kill them, your permafrost shield can't block them, and your SoGs can't keep up with the cumulative damage.  Both your (and rastafla's) argument centers around scorpio being too difficult.

That is not a good reason to nerf a card.  When a god is out of balance with the rest, change the god, not the card.  It's like editing the bottom of a pyramid because the top looks crooked.  It doesn't end well.

So instead of proposing Puffer-fish nerfs, why not propose scorpio nerfs.  It fixes the problem while maintaining game balance.

Since when have the FG's been made fair yet without nerfing cards. I don't think that will ever happen so nerfing cards that make them unfair will be the only option. I don't think the designers realizes how brutal the FG's really are. And why does beating them have to be the only good option for getting upgrades? IF being the source of upgrades is their purpose then they are too toughor not rewarding enough for that purpose.

Great! ROL hope is what I started with. I swithced to rainbow and shard got nerfed before I could get to ROL hope. I did not know how its winrate was affected becasue I had only faced most gods with it only once when I got back to it. The rainbow deck "CC why bother?" seemd better but maybe rainbows just have a higher winrate and the "Why BOther?" deck jsut took over.  What decks with shards don't work anymore?

Would Rol hope stll work after the SOG nerf? Would only the one with 4 shards and miracle and the one with no shards work? I think it works, but still testing. Using deck in OP (luciferin) with 1 electrocuter added and the verion from the ROL hope strategy guide. -1 Luciferin, -1miracle, -1 QT +1 SOG, +1 Aether Pillar, +1 Electorcutor

I tried something similar with dune scorpion and phase shield but it was too inconsistant. Ah, deathstalker so you can use Poison.

I beat obliterator wihout destroing its pulverizer with this one. Needed both antimaters, and waited untill I could play a bunch of permanents at once. Got neurotoxin started early enough.
