Dune Scorpion | Dune Scorpion

[twinsbuster]

A new version of dune scorpion is available in the trainer.

The new neurotoxin effect adds 1 poison damage, like the other scorpions, but every time the opponent plays a card while poisoned with neurotoxin one extra poison is added to the counter.

Purify removes neurotoxin.

Please take some time to try the new version and compare against the old one.

Oh, you want to provide a strong combo with Dune Scorpion and Nightmare against AI. But it'll be a trio.

Definitely liking this A LOT more. Thanks Zanz.

The poison effect makes more sense and is in line with the other Scorpions (excluding the fact that the other two have easier ways of getting the poison onto the opponent). Major plus with the combination (as twinsbuster pointed out) between this card and Nightmare, as the opponent will have to make the choice of deciding if playing the card is worth adding more poison to their health.

Purify might see even more use now... hm...

I'm testing it right now in trainer, and this change may give me a chance to try this against FG's in a new deck...

Please also notice it is another anti fractal card

Although the combo with nightmare exist, it will not be well used. It needs three cards with different elements: "Dune Scorpion, buff spell and Nightmare" for just dealing some poison damage.

This deck's a bit bloated but I beat Ferox, Miracle, and Neptune.  Lost to Decay, Rainbow, Graviton, and Scorpio.  Would have figured Neptune had Purify, but nope.   

Code: [Select]

6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 744 74a 74a 74a 74a 7n2 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q3 7q3 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q8 7q8 7qc 7qc 7qd 7qd 7qd 7qd
It's basically just Osiris with Dunes added in.  If you can get them locked with Turtle Shield and Eternity, Nuerotoxin can get pretty high, even if it's your only real damage due to FG CC.

UPDATE:  Lost to Gemini, Divine Glory, and Eternal Phoenix

...Lost to Divine Glory, Seism, Miracle twice, Graviton, and Dream Catcher
It would be nice if Turtle Shield affected weapons.

...Lost to Hermes, Ferox, Octane, Chaos Lord, Neptune... modified deck beat Dream Catcher this time.

thats awesome. Now there are more cards to counter that OPish fractal

[BluePriest]

I like that vesion, but I also like the old one. I think a new scorpion should come out that way we can have both

[smuglapse]

What is weird about it, is that it just requires the one application.  You get your Dunie out with buff, it hits, and then your opponent immediately kills it.  Well, no problem it's already done the deed, now it's up to your Eternity, Rewinds, and possibly Nightmares to build up the damage.  It fits in perfectly with Time.

Is there a deck in the trainer that uses it, so we can see what it's like getting hit with this thing?

[Malduk]

I really love the change. It is not just less annoying that original, but also more useful.
This + Rewinds = lockdown with load of poison damage. I just tried Dunes with flying Eternities, it worked pretty well. Dune is out early, so unless your opponent has a Purify, you have nice growing unstoppable damage.

[jmdt]

Wow, time got a huge buff with this change.  They never before had enough damage to really hurt an opponent quickly, but this gives a card that really can pile it on along with ethernity and rewind that they use already.

Fractal's op argument gets smaller by the minute with the new cards zanz is releasing.

[kev]

btw the card reads "successfu" in trainer.

[guolin]

Wow, this new Neurotoxin = amazing. First of all, there won't the complaint that people's hands are their safe zones, and Duney violates them. (thanks, Zanz, for keeping Elements unique from the other Card Games) Secondly, this new mechanic is excellent. I'm going to try it in trainer, and I'll probably start making decks using this card once it's released.

[RedWarrior0]

Awesome new change. This and Nightmare are the Fractal nerfs everyone wants.
