Flooding | Inundation

[kobisjeruk]

Except that both instant-kill effects have some fairly stringent requirements on them, while the freeze can literally stop any non-immaterial/non-Adrenalined creature in it's tracks...cold.

sorry Essence, you still need to learn from xinef, lord of the puns

[kobisjeruk]

sorry for the double post

anyway, this and skull buckler and latest grey nymph buff makes for a different type of anti-FG (the combo is nothing new but nothing we see too often)

add sanctuary and you have some serious stall/denial rainbow that could very well take on just about all FG
my kill card of choice is 2 lava golem and 1 blue nymph
i dont use trainer (trainer is BAD) so flooding for now is more like a mass CC card that you use for a couple of turns before you kill with a pulvy and skull buckler is nothing more than a cheap shield but man, i cant wait for the next patch

This still needs a buff, IMHO.

This means that only the first 5 creatures are safe from now on. It also got a minor FX update.

Discuss.

A much-needed buff to Flooding. Maybe it'll actually get used now. I'd still prefer something like this though:

[PlayerOa]

Awesome. Now I may actually use it in Mono Water.

IMO it is still underpowered.
How about , non Middle row creatures take 1 point of damage every turn ?

No.

The thing I still don't like about this is it completely destroys some deck strategies in one turn, while still not doing anything to a lot of other decks. (A lot like rock paper scissors.) To me, flooding could go anywhere, and you can't predict what it will hit, and it doesn't stay forever. I had a flood a week or two ago and we had to take about 3 detours to get home, but the flood was gone the next day. I'd like it to flood a random 6-8 creature slots for up to 2 turns. Or 1/3 to 1/2 of the unflooded slots.

I don't get it people; a long-awaited buff (and finally, a real buff) arrived to the most underused card in the game, and you still complain? (Not only here, see this (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,31187.msg426335#msg426335) pointless cryout..)

The thing I still don't like about this is it completely destroys some deck strategies in one turn, while still not doing anything to a lot of other decks.

Just to name a few: Dim Shield, Wings, Black Hole, Reverse Time, Sanctuary, etc.
Also, Water always takes the shape of the environment, so it is predictable somewhat. Imagine the first 5 creature slots as 'high ground' if that helps.

From all the suggestions around the forums, probably this was the best thing that could ever happen to this card - and even then without losing it's theme or being forced to be completely reworked.

finaly a buff wich actualy buffs flooding, this'll make it better with only 5 creatures for the opponent, especialy when you add in some squids to lock those 5 non drown creatures down.

A good buff. Now it has got some real, good synergy. Antimatter, Squid, Permafrost Shield... Flooding has a use now.
