[POLL] Which Cards are Overpowered? 1.30

[teffy]

For me, earthquake really is a frustration card, so I often quit, when s.o. plays a Quicksand in his first or second turn.
The Artifact card came out, when Earthquake came out, so it was made as a counter card, but it has another use, now.

i dont think any of them are OP, just powerful. i didnt vote for most op, just most powerful

[Kyarss]

quicksand is ridiculously easy to cast. Early game your opponent is screwed. You throw out 2 of those and you have major card and quanta advantage.

[acelink]

I don't feel any are strongly overpowered.  They all have their advantages and disadvantages. Although I would change a few cards.

Graboid
Changed so it goes Graboid (burrowed)-> Shrieker (Burrowed) and pay 1 to un-burrow.

Quicksand
Changed so Pillar destruction happens over turns.  1 destroyed during casters turn, 1 destroyed at the end of opponents turn, 1 destroyed at the end of your (second) turn.

Blackhole
Dark Matter's version only drains 2 quanta.

I voted for Quicksand and pulverizer. Pulverizer is already nerfed, so I got no more problems with it. Quicksand is way too effective against the vast majority of the decks in this game.

[Robsta43]

Both the cards I voted for are going to be nerfed in 1.21 (you all ARE playing 1.20 right?), Pulverisor and Hourglasses. 

When looking for overpowered cards, I look at my own deck and think... what in here would I still use if it cost a little more quanta?

There is a reason I don't use a gravity nymph in my rainbow deck, and it's not because I don't have one (cause I do).  The same goes for Quicksand (although I would like a trident).

For my first post...

As a long time CCG player, one of the biggest complaints from folks has been resource destruction. It stinks to not be able to play what's in your hand. The ones from the list that I find overpowered are quicksand/earthquake and pulverizer. I've heard the latter has been gimped a bit, I believe the same needs to be done to qs/eq.

As a side note, well done to those that have had a hand in designing this game. Very well done.

I voted for Black Hole (it can give a huge advantage vs rainbow decks), Shard of Gratitude (5hp every turn for only 2 quanta) and Fallen Elf/Druid (ability cost too low).

Add some of the new cards pleas,e like fractal and hope.

I wouyldnt vote for them, but im sure some people would.

[Xinef]

Hope has already been nerfed enough. Now it is (IMHO) comparable to bone wall in power. The main problem with it before nerf was that it was equally useful in early game as in late game, and useful even without light emitting creatures, now it is not so suited for early game (unless you use fractaled RoLs, which are easy to counter with any creature control), so much more balanced.

On the other hand I guess fractal is still one of the most powerful cards right now (though I'm not saying it's OP), so I guess adding these (and other new cards, especially thorn shield and flood) to the poll might certainly make sense.

I agree on the fractal thing, its powerfull as heck, but not op, it cant be used with imortals or phase dragons, so its one of the few aether cards that doesnt work well with an aether deck.(even with recluses it drains all quanta, snd that HURTS,) also hope has almost become UP, there arent that many light epiting creatures, so it  only works with  ffq decks.

Black hole isn't really OVERPOWERED perse... but unbalanced definately
Useless against a mono deck, crippling to a rainbow, now maybe it could even be left alone, with its obvious advantage and weakness, but maybe theres a way to balance it a little more (take a minimum of X quanta even if theres only 1 type, and a maximum of Y quanta even if they have all types?)

Quicksand probably needs to be changed so it can't be used to deny ALL quanta at such an early point... the 1 3rd of pillars/pumpspell ideas by Kael Hate look perfect

That said, I don't see any REAL need to change any of the cards, some are rather powerful, but that's really a perk of picking the right element now isn't it?
