[Official] Dusk Mantle | Improved Dusk

I assume you know the birthday paradox then (in a room of 30 people, about 1/2 chance of two people sharing a birthday)
My version 0.5 is you notice random dates (like movie releases) on your birthday than not.

I believe it actually is 50% and I think 50% is fine.

However, I do like this poll option: "Count up the number of attacks and only let 1/2 of them hit".  If there are an odd number of attacks (6 creatures, 1 weapon) then the odd one could then be forced into a random 50%.  This would make really limit the "streakiness" of the shield, and there would be certain guarantees.

For instance, if you had 1 photon, 3 dragons, and no weapon, you would be guaranteed at least 1 dragon hitting.

23 creatures and 1 weapon = 12 guaranteed hits.

The sample size each turn is just too small to see a "real" 50% hit chance for attacks, but once you observe the number of hits and misses over a few thousand attacks, you'll see that the hit rate will fall much closer to the average of 50%.

I don't think that's fair, it should be up to luck.  I agree with the idea that 50% of the attacks /currently going through/ should hit.  So if 12 things are attacking, the game randomly picks 6 of them to hit.  Round halfs up.

Identical topics merged.

Thanks Jmizzle. Sorry for double posting before (I got a warning for that). Main prob was that I didn't know how to put in a poll after you post a topic. Along the same note, how do you add new options into a poll?

EDIT: NVM found how

There is an edit poll button near the top.

It's fine. Actually I think fog shield is the one in need of a nerf (maybe 3-4 cost).

[kurathedog]

No nerfing fog shield.

It used to be 2/1 for 30%. It got buffed to 40%.

If it ever gets nerfed, lower miss chance, not raise cost. Fog is good because of low cost.

[Ryli]

fog is 20% per uantum. This is 8 1/3%. So surely we must be in agreement that this one isn't the one needing a nerf. My opinion is either buff this one or nerf fog shield. I don't mind how it's done, as long as they get balanced.

[tyranim]

if you nerf dusk mantle, you must nerf fog shield (which i will not sit quietly for). this card shouldnt be nerfed, it should either stay the same, or be buffed a LITTLE.

[smuglapse]

"Count number of creatures and let only half of them hit" is not nerfing the shield.  It is just making it more consistent so you don't have 1 game where it blocks everything and 1 game where it blocks nothing.  I would like the same thing to happen with Fog Shield.
