Cards that tend to be immaterial/give immaterial are usually more expensive compared to their mortal/lethal counterparts and cannot be buffed.  I do not think any single card bearing immaterial is overpowered.
people might consider EA to be OP since it's low costs.

Immortality with SoW still just on the par, immortality itself are considered UP...
At the expense of a immortality creature, fire creatures offering almost 3x attack, I even want suggest  to think again who is on the OP side lol.
I consider immaterial creatures to be balanced.

"Fire creatures offering almost 3x attack" I'd like to see which ones have something like that. Below is a list of attack/cost ratios
Brimstone eater: 2
Crimson dragon: 1.2
Ruby dragon: 1.8
Fire Spectre: 0.67
Lava destroyer: 1.4
Phoenix: 1
Minor Phoenix: 2
Seraph: 1.33
Fahrenheit: 1.67 starting out

Compare that to some other cards:
Flesh recluse: 2
Phase recluse: 1.75
Graboid + 1 turn: 2.5
Frog: 2.5
Cockatrice: 1.67

Immortality does not follow a linear growing patter for attack and cost, being instead more like a 1.5 multiplier to attack. Fire trades defense for pure offense.

A ruby dragon is much more easily removed from the game than a phase dragon. A lava golem dies much easier than an immortal.

Well when I said that, I pair minor Phoenix with elite immortal, which fire are 2.8 times cost effective, and almost as hard to get rid of.
In terms of card numbers, fire got Cremation, which greatly reduce number of towers you need.
Dim-shield? Immortal kill themselves with fire-shield as well. Plus, just another 2 :fire, 5 :aether gone.

But true, not every creature like minor Phoenix, now I would rather say they are "just" more than 2x cost effective, than say they are almost 3x.

Phoenix is 7atk (6 cost) + 1hp (0 cost) + phoenix (1 cost) = 7 :fire
Immortal is immortal 4 attack (4*1.5=6 cost) + 3hp (0 cost) = 6 :aether

Minor Phoenix is 4atk (3 cost) + 1hp (0 csot) + phoenix (1 cost) - Upgrade (2 cost) = 2 :fire
Elite Immortal is immortal 5atk (5*1.5=7.5) + 4hp (0 cost) - Upgrade (0.5) = 7 :aether

Elite immortal may be a bit UP since it's upgrade bonus is less than 1. A dead phoenix requires 1 turn + 1 :fire to bring back while immortals can't be targetted at all. Immortals suffer less from debilitating shields than fire's other creatures.

In exchange for its immateriality, are sacrificed price and damage, ie, slow deck with little firepower.
Using the SoW he is competitive, but yet not OP.
Brawl - 4 :fire Red Stars
The luck is much Greater, when there effort and patience.

Do you even read what's written here?
Targetting immortals can be done via SoW. Killing them via Fire Shield or Thorn Carapace.

SoW just makes them deal spell damage, ignoring shields. Fire Shield and Thorn Carapace are the only ways.

False.  :aether has Quint, which puts Immortality on a target creature.  :aether is the only element with the power to do so. If anything, quint is one of the most useful cards in the game. It can be countered by Fire and Thorn, yes. But you can CC any creature before it has a chance to be quinted.

Immortality is not overpowered, as stated by countless people on this thread.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vg 55p 5c3 5c4 5f5 5lg 5lk 5rp 61t


These are just some of the counters to Immortality/SoW, and Aether in general. Make your own deck. You never know until you try to counter it. Good luck, I'm out.

Minor Phoenix is 4atk (3 cost) + 1hp (0 csot) + phoenix (1 cost) - Upgrade (2 cost) = 2 :fire
Elite Immortal is immortal 5atk (5*1.5=7.5) + 4hp (0 cost) - Upgrade (0.5) = 7 :aether

Elite immortal may be a bit UP since it's upgrade bonus is less than 1. A dead phoenix requires 1 turn + 1 :fire to bring back while immortals can't be targetted at all. Immortals suffer less from debilitating shields than fire's other creatures.
You are assuming Immaterial should worth the *1.5, but my point is they aren't.
Or you are assuming Phoenix(Skill) should only worth 1 :fire, but how can that be, if Immaterial worth that whole *1.5?

For damaging spell, when you put the fact that Phoenix are almost triple in attack for same resource in consideration, you will find that single target spells never pull Phoenix to Immortal's pathetic amount of damage.
Most mass damaging spell won't do their job well, if you consider their cost.
The only spell that Immortal do better than Phoenix is Thunderstorm, if your own field aren't considered, Pandemonium.

For debilitating shields, fire is one of the best elements against them, just get rid with 2 :fire ...

For now the only point to using Immortal are SoW, which are petty pathetic...
