Card Ideas and Art / Re: Void Dragon | Elite Void Dragon

Yeah... thanks OldTrees for phrasing that more nicely. Now waiting for reply from OP...

Again, sorry I singled you out man. I'm glad you didn't feel offended, because that was never my intent to begin with...I just wanted to point out those cards you introduced really didn't fit the current game environment as I see it. Hopefully you will come to agree with me as you play more games against AI and others in PVP.

Best of luck in your journey of Element games too.

Sorry I'm not here for the competition but rather was led here because I use the 'Show unread posts since last visit' function of forums a lot.

I have a question though: Are the cards created for the competition suppose to be balanced in terms of Elements meta game or simply for the sake of using EmeraldTiger's art. I really want to know this as I nearly typed an essay (exaggeration) on why the big bang card by one of the applicants is completely overpowered before I realized the submission was for this competition not to the crucible.

So is it ok if the card's effects are completely wack as long as it's fitting to the image? Like seriously...looking at lionheart, impede and big bang just really makes me wonder if he's ever seen how even one creature removed will make creature deck die to stall decks and knows it's pretty taboo to design cards that single out one target element (in this case darkness).

Thanks for taking time to answer question. I'm sorry if I singled Chrisbenton out. I hope this card competition goes well :)

Out of curiousity, since this card gives your opponents quantum to play, it technically costs 0 quantum for you right?

How does this work with mulligan system Zanz has put in place? I remember the wording he used to describe mulligan as something along the lines of

~"the mulligan stops you from having an opening hand which no card can be played once" ... so would the mulligan stop you from having a hand with 7 spells and this card or would it shuffle deck again?

Politics / Re: The Two-Party System
« on: April 16, 2011, 05:15:20 am »
Hi,

I'm not an US citizen so I really can't comment on the OP. However, I'd like to offer my own view on politics in general (a defeatist point of view)

C&Ped, but out of my own NTS notepad so completely original:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Naive view of Politics:

The problem with politics is people who think they can fix things (type A) run while the people who recognize how messed up things (type B) are are too busy trying to figure out how to fix things

Then type A gets into office and realises the horrors of the real world and hires type B who isn't completely done with his studies yet.

2 possible outcomes: 1) type B fails to solve problem - type A blaims type B and shoulders off the majority of the blunt.
                              2) type B succeeds to resolve some crisis - type A takes the credit for 'finding the right man for the job'.

Real Politics:

if you don't have funding and connections (type C) you don't get in, regardless of whether you are type A or type B.

2 possible outcomes: 1) term goes by alright - type C gets reelected/promoted for having done a good job.
                         2) major catastrophy(ies) during term - type C will say his type A opposition party could not have done any better and blames his type B        consultants for the failures. Rage quits with dramatic exit making 'prophecies' to tropical island resort.

 Unless you're type C you can't win. You can't break even. You can't even get out of the game.
 (NOTE: type D~Z were too absorbed in their own lives they never even made it into the game)

I'm type P.
----------------------------------------

Sorry if you find my comment irrelevant... :(

I read you should reserve a spot under your OP.

Name: Capricious means given to sudden behavior change.
eg He's such a capricious boss I never know how he'll react.

Capricious describes this deck because you don't know what to expect will come from those 'improvements' ^ . ^
The CA is camelcased to distinguish this deck from another I'm working on called COmpulsive Forest. Coming soon.

Goal:
- Build fun (ie not efficient) but effective top 50/lv3 deck (can win but non-EM)
- Use entropy nymph (failed so bad...)

Strategy:
Early game (optional)
- Discord to slow enemy down + contribute to quantum lock down if you get butterfly effect on micro aboms fast enough to rid of all towers

Rest of game:
- Mitosize micro abom/werewolf as often as long as it doesn't prevent you from playing a druid/BE when you need one
- Druid(s) improves the micro abom(s) mitosized each turn or gambles and mutates enemy critter in to hopefully something useless
- Play butterfly effect on unimproved micro aboms (or werewolf.. *gulp*) to remove nasty permanents
- Evolve werewolf if you have enough improvement material off of micro aboms
- Nymph for some healing/CC

Special notes:
- The quantum towers are really there just incase you run into a BH or EQ replace with SN can speed things up
- Yes it's really bad to not draw a micro abom so just mito your werewolf even if is slightly more expensive/loss of ability
- It's actually Ok to get your discord stolen, just harder to play BE
- To date, I've actually won more games from mass micro abom spam than from enemy getting crushed by mutant army
- To be honest this deck works better without the nymph because you're very tight on entropy quantum
- Desperate measures- mito your druid if facing super CC heavy deck 4/6 micro aboms died low chance to draw. Saved my ass two times now...

Similar decks:
I did search in decks section of decks using micro abominations. Saw some other decks that also capitalises on mutation concept
but I didn't come across one that employed mitosis + druids. Most of them were based off druids, mutation the spell, fractal
and SoRs. One particular one was very unique in that it used twin universes.

Best ones I saw and consulted:

Da Mutation Lord: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19750.msg267437#msg267437
Blitz Mutant: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,14717.msg199352#msg199352

Version control:

beta: deleted to cover up extreme failures

v1.0: original
500 6qq 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6tu 6tu 6tu 6tu 6tu 6tu 6u1 6u1 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u5 6u6 6u6 6u6 6u8 6u8 7ap 7ap 7ap 7ap 8pn life

v1.1:
- discord is so effective at slowly enemy down i've added one more to draw one earlier
-nymph is plain too expensive removed for the extra discord
- took more SN in place of QT now 3:1

I need help with:
- Any comments on how to improve this deck without changing main theme would be very much appreciated thank you :)
- Extra points (... karma got removed so extra points is just... yeah) if you can teach me how to fit in entropy nymph without messing up quantum use of main strategy I would be VERY grateful.
- I do intend to move this to completed deck section if this ever gets good enough for viable use. Can someone tell me who I should talk to for thread move? Thanks for everything guys.

Can't breathe... first nymph today after a few days break from elements due to Exams ^^. Still have exams actually but this made logging on after a loooong day of cramming totally worth it, even if it was the least rarest nympth :P

My hand was shaking as i reached for the 'get card button'... also completely didn't take note of FG prediction...zzz

Wow... Quantum pillars so UP now it's ridiculous... a 3/118 chance of getting 1 quantum of anything T.T

On the other hand, SuperNova's OPness just jumped leaps and bounds...

Yes please! I've been trying to get some friends to join me in this awesome game but many are immediately turned off once they realize how much grinding is required to even play unupped tournies....

Having something like this could really help expand the community ^^.
