Buff this Card: Gravity Nymph https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=29711.msg377849#msg377849

Gravity Nymph suXXors!  This card costs a whopping NINE :gravity quanta, it takes THREE  :gravity to cast Black Hole, and at 1/4 it is one of the puniest nymphs around.  I mean, think about it, have you ever actually seen anybody put Black Hole in their decks?  Why on earth would you spend quanta for black hole on a stick?  And think about what Sanctuary does to this card; it completely wrecks it!  Sanctuary stops black hole AND the gravity nymph has such a low attack that you need FIVE of them to overcome one measly sanctuary, and even then, it will take you 100 turns to win!  If you are stupid enough to use 6 gravity nymphs in your deck, then it will still take you 50 turns, unless you use a real card and not this junky thing.

And don't even get me started on the lack of combos.  All it has to combo with are cards like Discord, Quicksand, and Shard of Readiness.  Your opponent can kill it with Shockwave, Thunderbolt, Fire Lance, Elite Otyugh, Eagle's Eye, Pandemonium; hell, even SCARABS can eat the damn thing!

So, I propose the following buffs to Gravity Nymph:
-its casting cost needs to be divided by 3
-its activation cost needs to be divided by 3
-its attack and defense need to be multiplied by 3

Behold, I give you the new, *balanced* Gravity Nymph: (with new, more appropriate art for its new stats)

it wouldn't take 100 turns to kill someone with 5 grav nymphs, think about that   ::)

With a Sanctuary on the opponent's field it would.

Well, not really, it would actually take around 96.

WAY to underpowered.  The effect needs to include "automatically destroy all sanctuaries and neutralize the sanctuary protection symbol when this card is played."

Ancient Ones like Cthulhu are not stopped by pitiful mortal spells like Sanctuary.  Or shields, or anything like that...

New keyword mechanic:
Lovecraftian Creature: Any creature that has this keyword is considered to have momentum, adrenaline, airborne, and is immortal, but only against your opponent's spells.  Lovecraftian creatures are Great Old Ones and as such ignore Sanctuary.  Also, all damage they inflict is taken away from the opponent's maximum hp, rather than as normal damage.

Hopefully that clarification makes Gravity Nymph more playable.
