[Official] Graboid | Elite Graboid

[EvaRia]

Proposed tweak makes it around as fast as it was before, but in return makes the burrowing shenanigans easier to deal with and harder to pull of OTK.

The speed isn't actually an issue with a bit of control, but the 2 ATK immortals and OTK potential/advantage with burrowing makes it too difficult to deal with.

[Joseph7]

I personally like this nerf. It makes the graboid's burrowing ability less useful, because it would only attack 3, 4 if upped. Good nerf.

[Cheesy111]

I really like this nerf.  It's not a huge detriment to shrieker rush or earth shrieker decks but it effectively hurts the potential of graboids to wear down an opponent in a battle of attrition.  Great idea.

[dragonsdemesne]

I don't like the fact that the unupped one would cost only 2 under your proposal.  That would arguably make graboid rush even faster, not slower.  If the unupped graboid cost 3, I'd agree with your other changes.  It makes the burrowing/unburrowing more costly, and it helps differentiate shrieker (the actual shrieker, not graboid) from just being an undercosted earth dragon, since the attack values are different.

[OldTrees]

I think 2 + 1 card + 1 turn (burrowed) + 1 < 7 + 1 card
I think that inequality is a problem.

[ZephyrPhantom]

I'm a bit concerned about the unupped's increased potential in Speedbows, especially when you can fire off two Novas a turn.

Will -1 damage really slow down a Grabbow enough to compensate for a cheaper Grabboid?

[Ilias22]

I like this card as it is .i dont thik it needs nerf...But i am a bit confused ....This nerf you say is like a buff for me.

[Vangelios]

Greetings Evaria, the idea of ​​changing the graboid is good, I think he should be revised.
 but this suggestion makes he more powerful, have become lycanthropes with more damage and  gain the ability of Shrieker, so much more powerful than lycanthrope, also the detail that he enter into play invulnerable.
  with the cost of 2 it is very advantageous for speeddeck and rainbow. would be good reduce the attack and maintain their original price.

[justaburd]

I feel that if you keep the new stats, but the old cost, that would be a nerf. As it is right now, most of the time you're not using graboid damage, and 7 cost means it's easier to replay after an RT. -1 damage doesn't really offset that. Maybe -2 damage on shrieker would do it.

Something I came up with a while back. Slows the speed of Grabbow overall, while giving it more flexibility. Also, making it less like Stone Dragon.

With all due respect, I think this is a bad idea.
While 6|3 or 8|3 after evolving is still pretty agressive, evolved you also give them the ability to deal with the control player's remaining life after he stabilized behind a shield.

@majofa
Dirt Dragon should have 3 atk.
I think the buff to burrow might be slightly too much but I agree that mere burrow might not be sufficient.
