Was there anything wrong with the ''blackhole both players'' (except gravity quanta) idea?

It's unnecessarily clunky and punitive while failing to answer the real problems with sofo.

Maybe then, +0|+15 would be better?
I like that.

For non mark players it is basically a one turn delay deflag. For mark users, it gets two uses. I wanted to keep the hp in CC range, and it also allows for synergy with lightning, rage pot, infection, and the like. I got rid of the black hole effect since I felt it's silly giving such a polarized and elemental hate (rainbow hate) to every single element. Upgraded will probably have it cost 3 , so it can now be splashed as a deflag, but it costs a bit more and has a one turn delay.

I worry that fractal+this is still viable though.

Or we can go the whole other side of the spectrum. Accretion: Gain +0/+30. Disappears if hp>30. If mark is gravity, disappears if hp>60

also for the upgraded card now rage potion + this becomes an even "better" combo.

Chrome is good browser, every letter smaller than 8pt is seen as 8pt.

New idea for a nerf: SoF stays as is but on activation (every activation of accretion) it costs you all quanta but gravity (like SoSa does).
You can still play the black hole but it hurts most decks that just pack them with novae to slow you down since they are slowed too.
Also, some of the combos (rage potion) become unviable, while the gravity combos (gravity pull, overdrive) still work.

As I was 500 hp EMing Plat  8) (not bragging or anything  ), I noticed something about Sofo that no one else has yet mentioned on the forums. I think zanz has already fixed the main problem: first turn nova then Sofo. It seems AI skips the first Accretion it can do with Sofo now. In other words, Sofo has a 2 turn summoning sickness (although this does nothing in PVP). Though I'm not sure, because AI changes are harder to dectect than card changes.

That problem cannot be fixed by AI alterations.
