Nymphs OP?

Starting this post because with OL we can now have observations on some players having 6 of every nymph

With Time Barrier & SoR, Golden Nymph takes on an absurd power level. To understand how expensive hasten is: compare HG to Sanct. Golden Nymph's sturdy health & medium attack are large enough to pressure alone. Upped it isn't as bad since HG's hasten becomes much cheaper while precog on nymph remains the same cost

Golden Nymph would be OP with hasten, but with card control & in-element innovation, precog is now genuinely much stronger than hasten

If anyone has some nymph QQ to post, please do

Comparing Blue Nymph to other generator creatures..

Name active-cost:generated-cost
N cost if creature was vanilla, X for skill based on difference of cost, -1 if duo
=cost

Goose 1:1
2 body, 3 for skill, -1 duo
=4

Pharaoh 2:2
4.5 body, 4.5 skill
=9

FFQ 2:3
3.5 body, 3.5 skill, -1 duo
=6

Blue 3:6
5.5 body, 2.5 skill
=8

Jack 1:1
3.5 body, 2.5 skill, -1 duo
=5

tl;dr Blue Nymph has the best active cost effectiveness at the lowest cost to body. Adding +2 to the generated base costs makes these numbers less outrageous. Additionally the overall cost of Blue Nymph being so low may be related to UG being overpriced by 0.5-1 quanta. Arguably the skill can have a duo bonus since UG requires :fire. But that's double dipping since UG's cost should already take duo bonus into account
