Empathic Bond | Feral Bond

But Life has the most healing cards and without bonds Life would be weaker. All other colors only have one or no healing cards, but Life has two.
And in my opinion there are no more healing cards needed. There are enough.

 

plus weapon

I kind of agree with Gl1tch... I think it's a little suckish that you get bonuses for finishing with 100% health, but in order to do that, you're pretty much stuck using life (at least to some extent).  I dun wanna use life, so the mastery bonus is a near-impossibility for me.

It's no big deal though.  Longer grinding = more games = more fun.

You can use antimatter as well, and miracle + holy flash, and black hole.
Anyway, EM isn't that big a deal, it's only a little bit extra coins, usually not worth taking extra time for.
The biggest benefit of the bonds is that they help you survive. If you're using them just to get EM you'd probably be better off without them.

good card can make thing interesting

Cost is reduced to 5 / 4 .

It should also be mentioned that this card now heals the player at the end of the turn rather than giving +1 HP after each individual creature attacks.

This is to stop the vampire/adrenaline bug right?

So if I have 7 creatures and 2 bonds, at the end of my turn, it'll just flash +14?

That's correct.

Also, if your creatures die from infection or fire shield before the permanent activates, it will not heal you, which is part of the reason for the lowered cost.

Actually, I think it would flash +7 twice.  And depending on when you fielded them, one or more could take affect after your weapon strikes.

This is a rather unpleasant nerf. The cost decrease sorta makes up for it, I guess. Maybe.

WOOOOO!!!!!

The dark days are over!

Clearly.

This change is greatly offset by the whole 'vampire-adrenaline' fix though - Emphatic Bond now heals after all the creatures attack, meaning it can be a glorified or horribly weakened Shard of Gratitude. The cost reduction is nice, but Life needs to have some other new cards to bring it up to speed with the other elements, considering the new changes that have been brought up. >_>
