Being in chat when it was announced and then finding out it was inspired by my own card.  I'd say that moment rates right up there with winning my first Elements tournament, opening presents on Christmas morning, holding the Stanley Cup, losing my virginity, etc.
One of these things is a lie.  You decide.

On another note, +Karma for Plastique.  Gratz d00d.
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

Cost needs to remain HIGH! Zanz is switching taking the comments, and escaping for a game centered around rushes. This card isn't meant to rush. If you lower the cost to five, it will be used in speed rainbows like a gargoyle. don't lower the cost, leave it high.

6 is still actually pretty expensive for a 7|4 creature with an inherent drawback.  5 would be too cheap unupped, though.

I think the people that are looking for a reduction to 5 are also expecting a drop in attack power.

And while its effect is sometimes a drawback, it also has its perks in a dedicated deck. It's meant to interact with nightmare and I think it will do that nicely. The effect is there because zanz is trying to make a card that would pair up with nightmare.

I'll let you know how things go once torb and I can test that deck, but I have high hopes.

I think the cost is fine. You need a higher attack, because once you play it, you need it to kill the other player. You can't expect them to discard 8 15 GotP before they beat you with the 8 cards they already played. They will have to be an atacker along with their other things.

Thing is, with that high of a cost, I'm afraid that GotD will become the Time splash in Darkness/Aether decks rather than Nightmare to Time decks as Fractal + Pest + Nightmare + GotD has amazing potential to completely lock down your opponent and actually force them to either throw away their essential cards or GotD. Like the other Time creatures, probably excluding Dragon, GotD has prefect synergy with another element, but the difference is that Pharaoh, Anubis, Vuvu, and even Fate Egg (though to a lesser extent) can be viable under a Time deck with a splash ( :time :gravity:time :aether:time :light:entropy:time  :rainbow ). This is a buff to Darkness than it is for Time for that reason.

Wait... plastique lost his virginity to the Stanley Cup on Christmas morning?

That's probably really flattering for a Canadian.

This card is awesome. Nightmare it, and then discard away. 'Nuff said.  Also makes a good beatstick if needed, and finally gives time a mid-range attacker. Epic win, + Karma for plastique.
