Standalone! Whoo!

The term "Golden" always confused me. There are Golden Nymphs, Golden Hourglasses, and Golden Dragons of 2 different elemental types...

Basically, this is a super Hourglass. If the upgraded version only uses 1 Time...

sadly with that ability it wont be used often if ever :) due to the fact that seeing there hand once is more than plenty to be able to get a just of there deck ^^" maybe more of an abilty like reverse time P.s. didnt notice the draw one card nice o.O"

I have to disagree. The unupgraded Golden Hourglass uses 2 Time to draw.

If you use Golden Nymph, then you will be able to see your opponent's hand for the entire game. This is a HUGE advantage, not to mention the card draw.

just was saying i wouldn't waste the quantum to figure outs ^^' i guess it depends on your playing style but you know must decks by the first check ::) less they add cards that do damage for being able to look at there hand or somthing due to how many cards you got to see or if they made a card exchange or somthing that lets you trade cards from your hand to theres

i dont see why i would use this card at all.

i i were playing a deck based on or using hourglasses i dont see why i would replace them for this really ugly nymph. this is the far most useless nymph among all. why? because a) it coasts a lot, really a lot. especially if compared to hourglass. b) and for what? i can spend 2 quanta to draw a card. hurray! the hourglass cost me also 2 quanta.

So the only advantage compared to the hourglass is that i can have a look at my opponents hand. ok - this sounds nice, but what is it good for. if you are experienced enough you will already fairly know what cards do your opponent hold in his hands. and the second time you use this skill there will most likely  nothing changed at all. and the this is a creature card, which can be frozen, destroyed, devoured, copied, gravity-pulled .....

btw. the same goes for the single alchemy card "precognition". but i will left my sentence there ....

I don't even want to comment your english. But I can't stand how you comment new cards- precog, this and black hole.

Maybe it's just me, but I think your comments are a bit too "definitive" for a guy who has 3 posts on a forum. Why do you think people who have much more experience than you spent their time posting on this card, that now has pages of comments? Would you be a bit more propositive and less destructive?
And, I don't mean to insult you-, but just how dumb must a person be to say seeing your opponent's hand once per turn is not useful?

Will you play a permanent if your opponent has an explosion?
Will you play 4 pillars if your opponent has an earthquake?
Will you play a dragon if your opponent has a rewind?
Will you buff your strongest creature if your opponent has twin universe?

The list goes on... and on... and on... and on...

So stop this stupid destructive comments rush and try to think before posting.

O.s.: Oh, and btw, it's not like "the second time you use this skill there will most likely nothing changed at all" (middle age english? Geroglyphics? Linear A?) because there is a thing called "drawing a card" which happens at least once per turn.

I, for one, can see myself using the Nymph much more often than the Alchemy card when it comes to precognition, for exactly the purpose JMizz describes.  Knowing consistently whether the AI is about to replace his Mirror Shield with a Phase Shield or has an Explosion to take out my Hourglass before I get to use it is the kind of thing that will make a game.
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.

Just gonna say this one thing, have you looked at the other nymphs? (and yes, it does coast a lot)

And, by the way, if it costs 2 to draw unupped, odds are it'll cost 1 upped. Just like Hourglass. With an EVIDENT advantage.
