[Official] Shard of Focus | Shard of Focus

[rob77dp]

Okay, so coming to this topic a bit 'late' and reading 42 pages of comments to find out if this "Other nerf" suggestion has happened doesn't strike me as fun...  So if this already has been suggested, consider it an additional vote for it as the nerf.

Starts with max HP (24 seems right) and each activation removes 8 HP and it simply dies at <=0 HP... So combination of declining HP to activate and no Black Hole result.

As it stands, SoFo is essentially a double-whammy card advantage.  You play one SoFo and gain:
-3 opposing permanents (cards)
+1 Black Hole
... for a total card advantage of FOUR as I see it.

My 2 cents - hope it helps!

My Two Cents:

1) Shard Of Focus needs to be changed completely. Free, multiple-use permanent removal is unprecedented and overpowered enough without the Rage/GPull synergies that currently exist.

2) SoFo should be a permanent or spell, not a creature. How can a glowing crystal even be animate? (ignoring golems.. )
If it is turned into a permanent, Give it either spammable GPull casts, or a cloak-bonewall like combo ability, hiding your permanents beneath several layers of SoFo. and no countdown timer.
If it's turned into a spell, give it an ability based around chimera- GPull, Momentum, +30hp. On a single target. I don't have many shard-worthy ideas for this one.

instead of a creature, make it a permanent
after shard of focus eats one perm, it is very difficult to remove from the field of play...
but if it was a perm itself, even after 1 or two times it destroys a perm, you can steal or defraug it

just wondering: can't it be made that it uses "7 of 1 "random" type quantum" (and probably lower the cost to 5 or something).

That would stop a quick spawn of these using novae.

Sounds good, but since there are no cards like that so far maybe zanz intends to never have to such a cost type.

I know SoFo is OP. But does ranting really help change the mechanism of this sh**'d?

Seeing as this is all going on in a "Nerf This Card" thread, the whole idea is changing or deciding to change a card - so if ranting will ever help or get a change made, this is the only place it may happen. 

Still, un-focused (pun!) rants or angry posts without attempting a 'solution' to the problem help not so much...

It is petty clear that most if not all of us agreed that Shard of OpFocus is OP, we all know a counter SoOpFo deck meant a decent Pt farming deck, and the only thing can bring your prefect gold farming deck down are SoOpFo.

Though I also agree telling what to do (suggesting ways to balance, or comment on the suggestions) is better than what not to do (it is F*ing OP change it, change it.)
