Elements 1.30

Shard of Focus is the Earth shard, right? At first I thought it was Gravity, but it doesn't really give a bonus to Gravity decks.

Gravity: you need gravity quanta if you want to use the black hole, or you can fling it with a catapult.

Of course, I completely overlooked that. >.>

Now, Accretion doesn't seem to be an active, triggered ability. What is it? If it is, how much does it cost?

Active, no cost.

Wait a minute, free reusable PC and really high health that can go much higher?

Am i failing to see something or is this just a little bit too powerful?

[Xenocidius]

3 random quanta and 4 turns to destroy up to 4 permanents (more with Rage Potion), and get a Black Hole? Seems very powerful compared to Pulverizer. I guess we'll see though.

Seems like it has some nice synergy with Gravity, except idk if many people will use it to gain the Black Hole... kinda seems like it's just a 'side effect' if you will. Idk :3
Still a nice/interesting card

[TheIdioticIdiot]

first it was SoSe adding to the arena rainbows
now we get SoF replacing pulverizer?

I kinda think SoF is OP

[Bhlewos]

Woohoo! Finally a Gravity shard! It's like Christmas all over again.

OP, maybe -- I guess we'll find out soon once people test...for now, I'm just glad Gravity has a shard.

[suxerz]

Yeay! New updates! Though I'm not too excited about the new shard at the moment, I can't wait for the other shards and test them!

Agreed, and while black hole and the potential synergies with gravity are nice, it somehow doesnt ring shard unless it plainly gives a bonus to gravity (and there was obviously some confusion to the shard's element). I think a slight cost increase could be in order, but giving reusable PC that any element can use is an excellent change to the game. Just my thoughts.

[Bhlewos]

Upon some reflection I think this could find uses in rainbows as well (just like SoSe did, even though it was an Entropy card). The Black Hole comes only after four uses, so five turns, and in the meantime it's a great PC card. I'm afraid Gravity won't be strengthened as much by this Shard as rainbows will.

Still, we'll have to see. These are just my thoughts.

[rowcla]

Course it can! matter of fact it can be used effectively in any deck, regardless of whether it has gravity! the PC provided is strong enough for it to not matter!

Edit: Or use acceleration to keep the shard in play and keep using it to destroy more permanents

Actually, you can't destroy more creatures if you accel the shard since it's lobo'd. But still, with that much HP you don't really need to keep it growing.

Not to be a complete killjoy here, but it's hard having to follow two different discussions about the same card simultaneously in two different locations.  Therefore I would suggest comments specifically regarding Shard of Focus and its mechanics, balancing issues, etc. being directed to the thread posted for the card itself here:  http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,35191.0/topicseen.html
