The cost to effect ratio doesn't even resemble balanced. It's even worse than Shard of Divinity in this regard.

How so? This is a renewable source of healing while Shard of Divinity is a one-shot health gain. They are both good but do two different things.

[RoKetha]

I meant it's way too cheap. 2 quanta of any element in any deck for renewable healing while the only other renewable healing in the game costs 5/4 life and requires you to play a deck with lots of creatures to be effective. The cost should be closer to 4 quanta if it's to be balanced. Similarly, Shard of Divinity is a little too cheap for a 20 HP heal for any element.

It depends. In my opinion shard of divinity is good as long as your opponent doesn't like to stall and damage you slowly. SoGs are great for stalling. But they can be destroyed, so heavy permanent destruction makes them nearly useless.

[jmizzle7]

Yeah, I think both are balanced in the upgraded card pool. They are way too powerful for non-upped cards and should never be compared to them, IMO, just because they are, well, upped.

[YoYoBro]

I agree with Jmizzle opinion. And one can easily check that by seeing how much it's used in tournaments decks

Yes.

[Sigh]

Finally! Something to differentiate between this and the other unupped shard.

i find that even though this is great great card and all, it is too easily stolen and when that happens, you are helping your opponent big time.  You must be very wary of what element your opponent is producing.  I find that in some games, i never get to use my SoGs at all because alot of people are darkness mark, or they run rainbows.  When i dont use the card at all and just hold it, it becomes a waste of valuable card space.  Even though SoD has an overall weaker effect, you know that when you get it, you can use it immediatly, no questions asked.  But because SoDs are so weak, i find myself not using any shards at all

Darkness is very versatile.  Very dangerous element.

I guess the Shards have a green background that become Shard Of Gratitude and not the blue background that give Shard Of Divinity. Is this true?

I played a lot in the top 50 and won 8 Shards with the blue background. I improved  6 Shards and they have all been transformed into Shard Of Divinity. No one has given a Shard Of Gratitude.

I do not understand why I won 8 blue shard and no green shard?
