That's just the risk with all creatures that has to be accepted, though. There's always plenty of creature control to go around. It's sort of sad, but I remain adamant on how I see this card.

I think that changes to existing cards are in the Patch Notes and Development News forum; perhaps you should PM whoever admins those and ask for a thread?
Lol, thats Zanz domain.


I think Terro, Zeru, Jmizzle, and SG have the rights  here.

All masters have rights here, changes like that are normally discussed in the patch thread though.

After Glitches nice deck, I started wondering what else would be possible with this card, and I came up with a nice pillarless one:

Code: [Select]
7af 7af 7af 7af 7af 7al 7an 7an 7an 7an 7an 7an 7ao 7ao 7ao 7ao 7ao 7ao 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jp 7jv 7jv 7jv 7jv 7jv 7jv 7k1The ?'?? are Scorpions.

I doesn't have to be fully upgraded, but the RoL's have to, and upgraded it is much faster (as everything is cheaper).

Strategy:
First bring out your rays and ONE rustler (you don't need more then one, so the other are only vulnerable to control), then bring out you scorpions, bless them and give them adrenaline. (yes, 5 attack + adrenaline is better then 2 attack + adrenaline, because both get 6 extra attack, one extra poison, but with 5 attack you have one less attack, so less poison, fire wall, etc. And you will easier bypass shields). You can even bless them to 8 if you want (because 8 is better then 5, even with adrenaline), but I prefer having all the scorpions at the same rate (so they are all equally targeted by the AI). You can also use the blessing to save a rustler or ray of light when it is poisoned or against a fire wall.
I also prefer to use the first epinephrine on a ray of light if I start with only one or 2 RoL's, to generate more quanta.

The weapons are just because I try to give all my decks one or two weapons, because they are generally better than creatures (otherwise they wouldn't be needed, and shouldn't have to be restricted to only one).

adrenaline+momentum is the best, (maximize attack, poison and bypass shield)
no any light cards needed

I know, I have also made this version (yes, It's my holiday, and I am bored).

Code: [Select]
55q 55q 55q 55q 55q 55q 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5c5 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8Yes, the ?'?? are forest scorpions.

And yes, this deck works unupped.
When going upped, I would suggest to take out a few pillars for whatever cheap card you like. I have tried Frogs, Cockatrices and Improved Heals, and they all worked like a charm.

But the above one is definitely more fun to play, and it is less vulnerable to control because of the blessings. Also, I can be really fast, because you can spam creatures like hell when getting a good draw. This one is slower.

The art looks decidedly un-Elements-ish.  Zanz is going in a different direction, I take it?  We have Leaf Dragon, Gargoyle, and now this little guy.
i think its because of the new tablet (i have nothing to support this though)

The Leaf Dragon and Gargoyle weren't made by Zanz, they were made by members of the community.

In fact, I wish VRT's pillar art were used in game.  It is just jaw-dropping how beautiful they look.

For real... I'm pretty sure people just forgot about those, due to the war and new cards coming out.

Just for those who are curious about what jmizzle7 and I were talking about, see for yourself:



Just a sample, and all were made by VRT.

EDIT:

Here are Pepokish's pillar ideas, or I assume them to be:



I hope neither of them mind I posted them here.   :-\

Dragoon1140, if those images already have their own thread, a link will do so this discussion stays on topic. If they don't, I will split those images to their own topic.

Thread hijacking successful.

Those pillars look so good that if they were used, Towers should be the unupgraded card and Pillars should be the upgraded card.

But yeah.. back to Forest Scorpion. Actually, I don't know what else to say about Forest Scorpion.
