Eh not too much an OP card, tho if an opponent with double draw (or even single) can get 3 upped ones out, they reap the game. "well then use PC, same as dims then" lolno. PC only rids you of 1 stack. 3 upped repulsors, 6 stacks, PC it, goes to 5 stacks as opposed to 0. eh, there are arguments for and against, but whatever

There's an argument to make it cost 6 since PC-resistant Jade Shield costs 6

Alternatively return it to 1-cost 1-stack, which only seemed useful vs Swamp

yea my proposition is for it to increase the DR, but still act as a single shield that can be completely removed with 1PC. maybe thats UP tho

the main drawback of repulsor is the deck space that it takes, so making that change increases too much the card advantage a single PC card would have on it. I think the only thing that may be OP is the upgraded giving 2 stacks and even so, I don't see that being abused anywhere.

There are so many ways to win without creature damage that repulsion isn't really as OP as it looks. It's hard to make a deck using it.

I do personally think Repulsors is fine. There's no deck demonstrating its overwhelming power, & arena balance isn't too much of a concern to me. Besides that, if Repulsors are really rampant, Earthquake destroys 3 of them. Dragons should be able to overwhelm them too. 3 Repulsors cost 15 quanta & 3 cards

Unlike Phase Shield, Repulsors need their self synergy. It isn't efficient to run a low number of Repulsors

  • ... Oxidants happen...
Letting EQ tear repulsors to shreds helps a bit too.
It would be interesting to have another EQ like effect out there somewhere.

Honestly, I don't think nerfing repulsor itself is necessarily the right tactic at this point. Though I wouldn't be opposed to seeing some kind of side nerfage.

More Byako or EQ like abilities / mechanics come to mind here... Stacking shields could use a little gentle nerf battage in general I think.
