Meh, I've seen other more useful and important cardsWhat is a more fundamentally changing card than this ?
But it is a nice idea.
I completed my 100 game test with only 3 Sundials. It is my version from the first post minus a SD with a 12th QT added. I'm not even going to show it here because it is much, much worse.ok.. i've been trying a 41 card version with 12 qt and I don't think THAT gave an improvement either... the 4sd no miracle version seems to be by far the best...
Statistically over 100 games, it did not even come close, clocking in at a win rate of 0.47. Here are the detailed stats. (http://elementsstatistics.comxa.com/getstatistics.php?dv=3028838437)
Conclusion:
If you do not use the Improved Miracle, you had better play with at least 4 Sundials. I died to many more early rushes than I did with my 4 SD version. I was quite surprised to see how important it is when the Miracle is not in the deck.
Hmm, it's interesting, but I doubt it will be useful.combined with scyther's "gift" this could be interesting (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,2881.0.html)
Unless your fighting something like fire, where creatures have more attack then strength, or you're fighting growth, it's not good. And even if you are fighting those things, you decrease the damage you take less than something like time's shield would unless you have a way to destroy the shield permanent.
Remember, you can't give this shield to your opponent, it comes into play on your side of the field. You cannot base a deck around flipping your own creatures, only your enemy. This card would work better as an instant.
Have the creature die at the end of the turn.awesome idea! +1 karma glitch (edit: since i gave +1 karma already in past hour to someone, i can't quite give it to you now.. but i will later!)! This totally works with the whole idea of them being called out and crawling out (and then crawling back into cavern/depths)
That would help balance it more, and make the dark/death synergy (I love this word, thanks for it Scyther!) even more brutal.
OP.hm.. i guess i could increase the price to 10 summoning and 5 per creature...
Right off the bat.
It breaks one of the fundamental rules in the game, only 6 of each creature in a deck. 12 with PUs. You can just sit there an spawn things all game. I mean, imagine a field full of devourers?
Suddenly you don't have to upgrade every card to have a fully upgraded dark deck. Just 6 devourers, six of these, some steals, some drain lifes, some nightfalls, and pillars. Dropping six creatures a turn?! And upgraded! WAYYYY OP.
Not to mention that on the off chance you get a creature you don't like, you have an infinite supply of parasites to kill them off. Sorry kid, that's just crazy.
I know everyone hates instant kills, but isn't anti-matter even WORSE than an instant kill?you can rewind or bless yourself out of antimatter.. here you have taken the card AND you get to use its ability
With dark do you mean darkness + death or just darkness?just darkness
Yes definately some of the others are OP but they are works in progress and when I have finished the set I will post the new remade balanced cards all up at once to view.yeah.. if it's more diverse is good.. if it is a stackable small shield + ability.. it seems a little bit stretched...
I like the fact that they shield but am unsure as well, I considered that some of the Gods may actually have attack abilites some may have heal etc, but so far have just gone with shield,
Thanks again
Scyther
