Dune Scorpion | Dune Scorpion

It think it'd be much more balanced if it came into play with -1 attack power.  Momentum isn't enough to make it attack, and blessing and the scorpion can be blocked by most shields.

i think the reason it comes into play as a 0 attack creature is so that it doesn't heal your opponent on the turn you play it, because then that would be a major turn-away.
i mean, who wants to play a card that heals your opponent on the first turn (and maybe more) while waiting to play a blessing or momentum?

Huh?  Seriously?  That's a stupid mechanic.  Perhaps edit the cards ability so it doesn't work with a negative attack?

Maybe "when this card deal damage to your opponent?"

That is currently how it works.  You deal negative damage.

Fiddled around with this in the trainer.  I'll admit it's pretty overpowered, significantly less than cards like fractal, but still deserving of a nerf.  And I'm guessing the ability to choose which card you have to discard is too difficult to program.

So you're saying you want me to make an Entropy/Time deck with Antimatter, Chaos Power, and Dune Scorpions?

Hm... you wouldn't even have to focus on the scorpions.  They would just be there to supplement the rest of the deck.  Even just a pair of them in a 30 card deck would be nice.

When this card causes reduces your opponents heal in the amount of it's current attack, make them discard one card.
Happy?

No, i think he means that when it is played, its stats are  -1/3, not make a whole deck based around those three concepts.
And BTW chaos power is way too random to be reliable, i agree its one of the most powerful buff cards in the game along with from Rage Potion.

I don't see why.  It could almost piggyback on the function that makes you discard if you have a full hand.

I'll be posting this in all three thread I guess.

The 9 ??? is 3 scorpions of each type.

I don't care what anyone says, this is fun as hell to play.

The card isn't fantastic against FGs, because they draw two each turn and usually have enough quanta to play whatever they draw. Against players however it would be deadly. I don't think a card that encourages players to blindly play whatever they have in their hand is a good gameplay mechanic. It was already fair being punished for holding out for a combo by not being able to play it earlier; this card makes combos impossible unless you get them in the first few turns.

I don't know, but if you could get it in a time-lock deck (2-3 Eternities rewinding everything), it could actually work.

It is OP, though. Good thing there isn't a Eclipse card for ...

Edit: I feel guilty looking at the index page and seeing my name on 4 or 5 parts...

true...true.

I STILL don't understand this eternity + dune lock you guys are going on about.  If you rewind an opponents creature, it goes on top of their deck, and your dune hits BEFORE it's drawn.  Then, after it's drawn, the AI simply plays the damn creature again, meaning you didn't do squat to kill it.  It's actually just the normal eternity lock, but with some extra anti-spell defense.

Dragon rushes will be killed, just more so with Dune.  Any expensive creature the opponent has might not always be played immediately.
