How do you want do defeat a "Phase dragon" Deck???

You can't. It's impossible. Phase Dragons reign supreme in the world of Elements. Any deck that contains them automatically wins.

Yeah, this deck fails against shields like that and probably does work just as well if not better with Fire Lances.

He can still deck you out. Happened to me once while I was playing a RoL Fractal. Got some pretty crappy Dragon draws... that and the fact that Divine Glory has a surprising amount of Miracles may still screw you over.

The name is good, I think. Something simpler, like The Barracks, may also work.

And I agree. Lots of people say that just because someone doesn't have forum experience doesn't mean that they lack game experience, and this is true, but forum experience gives you a chance for people to understand and accept your game experience. Also, it shows your dedication to the forum and, thus, your dedication to an event like the War.

I agree with most of what Puppy said and I think that lowering the cost to something roughly similar with other growth creatures ( spirit, fire eater) may work. How about decreasing the unupped cost by 2 and the upped cost by 3 ? It may sound pretty drastic, but after Puppy's evidence, I think it may be a good move.

General Discussion / Re: Rate a Card: Nymph's Tear

« on: June 17, 2010, 11:16:29 pm »

Agreed with all of the above. Essentially, it's a Nymph - but it costs 1 extra card and quanta to set up. It is trumped by any other Nymph and trounced by Nymph Queen.

I guess it could be used as pillar control... for idiots. But besides that, as unit stated, it's only really useful in a specialized deck, and even then, those decks aren't top-tier. They require a bit of luck and lots of quanta to work smoothly.

So, all in all... interesting and gives players a glimpse of rare cards, but not very practical.

And another advantage of going second:

You can psychologically traumatize your opponent by playing the 3-turn win Golem deck that only works on a perfect draw and going 2nd.

But these 3 reasons are very minimal compared to the advantage of going first. In a mirror battle, going first is a huge factor.
