8th Trials - Challenger's Entrance

[andretimpa]

Unless I am misunderstanding something, adding at least 25% 'other' cards to a deck will make it legal even if mono.

Other is an off-element that you don't need to unlock. But it is also spent if you use it, just like any other off-element. That's why Jen said he'd be able to field exactly one legal deck.

2 decks then.  You're allowed to field a mono for 1 game per match.

In the event that a challenger doesn't do any tasks, he will be provided 4 randomly chosen elements (or one of the element sets assigned to the 5 tasks randomly), and he will receive no upgrades for Phase 2. This will severely harm his chances to do anything.

Bear in mind that this ruling is not yet final and might change. I'd advise not to discuss it here, but in suggestions and feedback. Thank you!

That won't be a problem, because I won't be participating. Please remove me from the list - I've removed my sign up post as well.

Gravity is capable of using an objects mass and bending time itself to its advantage.  The Nexus is the core, and Gravity serves such since it the reason for Earth's structure and Time's even flow.  While Gravity cards themselves are not too prominent, the synergy with the other elements directly is what holds the deck together, showing Gravity's capability to influence them and extend its power through them.
The deck's main strategy is getting out a lot of damage.  It also has some control to support the heavy damage, and the Dragon provides an outlet for the quanta sink.  Pharaoh's provide some CC (though slow, possibly being a factor too late), but ultimately provide a growth factor to the damage.  Nothing too complex or difficult.

ART: fotosearch IDEA: Captain Scibra NOTES: Yay overused themes and possibly an idea too.  Anyways, the idea here is that because Gravity has a lot of combo use; and is in my opinion the weakest to counter-combo cards, like RT and Lobo, on top of general CC.  So to help mitigate the weakness, this not only accelerates combos, but also gives a little refund if they are tampered with.

The strategy is that this deck delays the opponent while smashing through any permanents.  This would likely be best used in a match against Time, usable by the Lietenant and General (General would likely upgrade Mercenaries into Guards).  When is truly needed, the Wardens can target themselves to trigger the effect.  As long as it's not a Ghostmare opponent, this deck would fare nicely against any attempt at Reverse Time trying to delay the impending damage.

Adrenaline'd creatures are affected for each attack they make. As creatures with 0 attack are not affected, the attack can't go into the negatives. SERIES:

Nice idea, but sadly it's already taken. ^^" http://elementscommunity.org/forum/level-1-crucible/chain-shield-shield-chain/

No stealing the TrO's idea, please

But since Sub has already posted a card almost identical to yours, I'd advise you to make a new one.

That shield of yours is OP as hell mr. Zaw . Didn't knew this was taken already (shows how much gravity needs a shield that works outside of a heavy-CC deck). I hope my new idea is original. It's probably slighty OP but I won't have the time to finish polishing it. It is also something that is not such a great need for the element but is also missing (direct damage CC).

[Zawadx]

Let's discuss how OP it is in its respective thread, eh?

[Odii Odsen]

I was thinking about a similar idea to andretimpa's shield one year ago, also for . But I never posted it in the card idea section.

This element really needs a second shield. But I guess this thread is not the right one to discuss about this topic.

OT: Good luck all!

TrO friendly post:
