Elements 1.30

He usually does that when the cards are released in the full game as well.

Doesn't really make for a compelling case when Aether is stuck at 13 too and is less complete as an element. I wouldn't assume anything about card creation besides the fact that Zanz will do what he feels like. If it's cool, why the heck not.

maybe there's another aether card coming soon as well?

And correct me if I'm wrong (I probably wasn't around at the time), but I think aether got it's 13th card much later than fire.  So there's been a larger gap of time between new fire cards.

And even if I'm completely wrong in everything I just said, I do know that zanz himself said that the next (non-shard) card he was making was fire.  Which is why this card isn't light/life/another element with needs.

Just gave that deck a whirl, AnimationX.  I'm impressed.

yeah, ive been playing around with SoF in a few decks, it fits into a wide variety of decks.  gravity pull on these is more effective than amigos, mitosis (optionally with SoR) on these is silly good, or fractal if you prefer, and adrenaline/acceleration or catapult are all viable tactics which focus on shard of... focus.

[dragonsdemesne]

@Moomoose:  I just suddenly had a vision of monolife using SoF, SoR, and mitosis, along with SoG/Feral Bond for healing, spine carapace for creature killing, and so on.  Go monolife! 

re Seraph: As others have mentioned, this isn't a game-breaking card.  I mentioned earlier that it's quite similar to other fire cards, and others have pointed out that this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it means that Seraph won't be warping the metagame in the way shard of focus will if left unaltered.  I still think it's a little bizarre in the fire element, but I'm willing to forgive that if it means we get it implemented, since I love seeing the game expand.

@those who said aether needs a new card instead of fire: Maybe we'll see a new aether card posted by zanz soon... After all, the 'in development' page has grown from SoC to SoC+SoF to SoC+SoF+Seraph, so perhaps he's got even more cards lurking somewhere that only he knows about   Just because Fire is getting Seraph doesn't mean Aether won't get something, too.

[glennfoo]

let us hope the shards for other elements(fire, earth, etc) will be in the development page soon too...

[furballdn]

has anyone tried to build a deck with saraph and gravity pull?

Yes (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,213.0.html).

Actually, no.
The Seraph would die after only 1 hit (it only has 1 health). The ability makes it untargetable, not invincible.
SoF, yes.. UTAlan made one of those.

I made one (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,37057.0.html) as well.

So, 1.293 was released but there is no Seraph in the Bazaar. Is it rare?
