wow, this is also RIDICULOUSLY overpowered. just like its death twin. fractal is getting the spot light lately isnt it?
honestly, the death one and this time one, i just cant find the words to describe how increadibly overpowered they are. thankfully they are just prototypes and not ingame cards :P

Why do people still think it's THAT overpowered?

I mean, if you don't have ANY card that can boost its attack to a positive ratio (Momentum and Blessing only - Rage potion kills it unless you couple it with Plate Armor), then it's a dead card vulnerable to nearly every form of creature control (except Thunderstorm if you upgrade it).

The fact that this card requires AT LEAST one other card in order to work makes it a lot less 'deadly' than it appears. PvP-wise, yes, it's still annoying/deadly when used right, but this won't change anything in regards to the False Gods (no one is going to use this against them), and if they somehow lobotomize the momentum off? Get ready to deal with a nasty shield to block that measly 1 damage unless you have another momentum in your hand.

you dont need momentum, but it would go well with it. what im saying is make a fractal/this card/buffer deck and you have EXTREME speed. hold on, im going to build a deck

(reserved for deck)

Was playing around with this in the trainer, and made this little beauty:

Code: [Select]
74a 74a 74a 74a 74a 74c 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7qc 7qc 7qc 7qd 7qd 7qd 7qd 7qd
Combining the momentumed Dune Scorps with the damage and CC of Scarabs makes it quite effective. Also, just a single early Momentumed Scorp can severly hinder the opponent.

???cards are Dune Scorpions, upgraded of course.

ok i take it back, this card isnt ridiculously op, but it is rather powerful. i have yet to build a decent deck using it as a main card. but i did build one that uses all 3 and its pretty good so far. the biggest drawback of this card so far is that its almost completely useless after a few turns, unless your opponent has VERY low quanta and has fast forward cards

How so?  It only allows a maximum of two doses per turn, and that is assuming you buffed it first.

In my opinion, because you shouldn't ever be Fractal'ing this scorpion since buff cards are limited, this card is powerful but balanced.  This is just what :time needed, to be honest.

Anyone know who made the art for these? (I figure that it was Zanz because there is no listing)

Fractaling these is pointless. The  :death one is another thing since eclipse can power them, but since a buff is required for each one, TU or adrenaline is better (which still require ou to have a 3 element deck). I still dont see this card to be OP. Its best at stall decks, rush decks its next to pointless since you can generally play cards the instant you get them, and a single EE takes them out in control decks. Even a lot of Stall decks usually have a good amount of CC, a traditional rainbow wouldnt be hindered by this card too much, especially dial ones.
