H4xx00r!

SoP is growing on me, but I'm still wary of SoS (Sacrifice). Haven't tried Serendipity and Void out yet.

EDIT: And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Flooding buff. Seeing the field surrounded by water...simply beautiful.

[Jocko]

Those aren't available yet. Obtainable through custom AI, but with no effect yet. (Well, i believe that playing Void currently acts as SoS)

[Bhlewos]

Well that explains a lot. I tried facing an SoV AI3 and was utterly confused until I visited chat. xD

[EmeraldTiger]

If an idea for remaining shards has not come to mind yet, may I recommend a Defense buff of some kind for .
  more destruction or a weapon buff. some how use the freedom of movement theme.
  a mass or density based idea might be good.
  a new theme is needed here, because in CI&A I think we have been doing the same basic things repeatedly that are already in game.

:/ Fractal Ball Lightning worries me a bit. It feels like the game is turning into a blitzkrieg.

[Tiko]

more destruction or a weapon buff.

Seriously? That'd be the very last thing Fire would need..

Hmm? Blitztal has been around since, well, blitz and it can get 3tk which a SoP deck just won't do.

I'm loving SoSerendipity/Void, I see SoSacrifice hasn't been changed this update, I hope this doesn't mean it's going live in it's current form.

It doesn't have the same explosive power of a blitz deck, but it has A LOT more staying power. The only thing that can stop a free 6/1 fractallable creature is mass CC...

1. After noticing the afore-mentioned buff to SoP, I decided to try a Fractal Mind Flayer deck. I made one, went to AI3 to test it out, and then noticed that by playing multiple SoPs I could gain the damage from extra SoP's, and still only wait 1 turn for the creatures to 'revive'. While this is pretty good, I was wondering if it was intentional?

It seems intentional that the delay isn't cumulative, as the only special case where it is cumulative is with Warden.

2. Why was SoS given to AI with healing? I was testing the above SoP deck and I had 2hp, was about to be finished by AI's Owl's Eye, when BANG, I won. I was puzzled by this, wondering why I had won. Then I realized that the AI had multiple Empathic Bond's in play, along with a FFQ and a couple of other creatures. It had literally healed itself to death. So I was wondering why that particular AI had been given SoS, when it would be so easy for it to commit suicide?

All AI are given the new cards in Beta to see how they use it and thus spot unintended behaviour and bugs.

More importantly, it scales in damage like a Destroyer rush. You can have 80 damage per turn out by turn 7 (or faster if lucky). Luckily, you won't have done any more damage on the previous turns unless you add it to the deck (such as a weapon. I actually like Dirk with Death mark), but often you can Fractal again and actually achieve a OTK.

Is this a glitch? Some Entropy cards get 2 bands behind the name when they're not rare.

[Higurashi]

Yes, it appears to be a visual bug. The first line of unupped Entropy cards have bands on them in Beta.. sometimes.
