5th Trials - Phase 3 - Community Vote

[MrBlonde]

you know i view you with great respect but you bailed on me on two events simultaneously. I understand RL but you (among others) certainly could have changed the outcomes of both of those events. Why should i vote for you.. again?

You shouldn't. If you feel I don't have the time to lead time Light vote for somebody else. However I can assure you I will never again take a commitment to an event which I cannnot respect.

It's hard NOT to vote for you since i know the passion you have for Light and if any player embodies an Element it would be you.  You have always been my toughest challenge and my thorn in my side (when it comes to PvP) and the only thing that would have made last Wars win any better would have been the chance to beat you in the Finals. I asked that question not because of any ill will (like i said i understand RL happens) but just wanted to see how you would respond. Short, sweet, no excuses... pretty much what i expected.  Anyhow i'm quite glad you are running again for .

There have been a lot of changes in Light and War since you were last Master, how do these changes impact Light as a whole, and especially in War?

The Sanctuary is definitely a great Light card especially in War format where unupped rushes (Grabbows) cannot be used to their full strength and thus Stall decks gain some mroe viability. So I think Light has gotten better as an element and this can only impact it for the better.

The main War change is that it ends aftern 10 rounds so I will focus on that. In my opinion, it is not the most Light-favored change simply because in general Light is not a very adaptive element as compared to others (you can slap some defense on a Fire deck and the CC will make it a pretty good semi-stall in teh condition of weeak Vaults, you can add some cheap damage and it will be pretty fast), meaning it will be easier to read what deck will be used. However, I do not consider that to be a HUGE thing, especially that Light got stronger as a whole.

I asked that question not because of any ill will

I know, I wasn't upset or something (as you might know it is hard to read the accent over the internet especially considering English is not my native language).

Meh.

I won't mind if you vote for someone else.

One more question for xdude.

Do you think you would have left Elements if you had not lost your mastership to Ryan? Did you lose some of your passion not being Master?

I think I would've stayed more or at the very least came in once or twice each deckbuilding round and played my War matches (I didn't have too much time). So, in short, yes. There is something special about being a Master, not sure if I can describe it properly though. The extra responsability mixed with the extra power mixed with being one of the only players still there at the end and other factors simply make War a much more exciting experience for somebody like me. I would've probabky also stood to play Trials after that, though i can't promise anything.

While Archangel is a powerful card, Guardian Angel is perceived as weak* and is seldom used.  If given the power to, how would you change Guardian Angel, keeping in mind balance and thematic requirements?

*If you disagree, please post a deck where Guardian Angel plays an important role instead of answering the above question.

@cheesy111
I think that Ga could play in an important role in some decks overall it needs a buff. if anything i would just increase its attack to 3 and maybe raise the cost by one and it would be a great mid attack creature in light and its ability heal would still help in a rage pot, acceleration deck of some kind. As well as any deck that may need that like a gravity pull armigos stall.

@bogtro
Well to tell you the truth english isnt a second language or anything I just simpley suck at grammer/punctuation. It's something I have never quite grasped I know this can be a huge issue to some people and well It's frustrating to me to. When I clearly mess up on things like putting a period or not captalizing my I's or forgetting to put a comma somewhere. As to your question if it feels like my answers are rushed its probably because its part of my personailty I'm someone that likes to get stuff done fast and then if I need to all go back and change it. I probably have gone back and modified some of my questions on this post for grammar, spelling, punctuation. At least 3-5 times and If i still see an error all probably go back and fix it. does this mean I wont have time for war no I will have tons of time for war at the moment the only thing thats a time comitment for me is school which is monday-thursday and I go for about 3 hours a day, so if you feel that becuase I choose to answer my questions when I first see them. That you see that as me rushing it then I'm sorry but I've been in war before and from my expiernce its better to get the stuff done quickly and then modify the decks/vault. Throughtout the time allowed then waiting untill the last minute to get everything done.

Disclaimer: This is not meant to be rude, although it may come off that way as I need to go soon.

@DevilLoss: Being a master is largely about War. War is a large commitment that requires a large amount to time to join, let alone lead. Many of your responses to questions seem to be rushed and contain grossly incorrect grammar. Is this because of unfamiliarity with English (which is fine), or are you simply trying to answer the questions as quickly as possible? If it's the first case, no explanation required. If the second, how can someone expect you to effectively lead a team if you cannot find the time to answer a question?

@Xdude and Root: Some ppl seem to think luciferin(the card not skill) is not really useful and that Holy Light is better. Give me 3 reasons or a deck showing me how luciferin is better than holy light

[xdude]

how would you change Guardian Angel, keeping in mind balance and thematic requirements?

1|6->4|6.
4 cost

Some ppl seem to think luciferin(the card not skill) is not really useful and that Holy Light is better. Give me 3 reasons or a deck showing me how luciferin is better than holy light

Neither of those cards are cards that can be used competitively (really, where did you come up with that "people like HL" idea? :X ). Anyways:

Actually works pretty decently, but I never quite managed to get it to be a real AI4 killer. Anyways you can see why Luciferin is better. That doesn't mean good though.

[xdude]

Nifty. Gl hf Root in the final battle.

@xdude, Dont remember. other than it's 1 quanta less than Luci.
