Regrade resets the turn counter of Dim Shield. In best case, this equates to an extra 15 turns of stall

Life / Re: Buff Equalize
« on: January 03, 2021, 09:47:58 pm »
I've been thinking about Equalise buffs a bit recently, nothing concrete but I had the same idea. Issue is that it makes the card too similar to Heal and Living Weapon. Especially since LW heals based on creature's max hp, Equalise would essentially heal based on attack instead.
Further, imo buffs to Equalise should keep Voodoolise as a viable combo. And these changes would... presumably damage the owner. An interesting idea to think about, though, especially as it makes BB/Equalise a thing as a suuuuper budget Unstable Gas, or having Pacify/Equalise exist for similar reasons, while also killing the creature. Imagining an Auburn BB spam Equalise otk is way too strong though. So it could just be hard coded, or use Catapult calculations
I'd be intrigued about max hp alteration, it has the same issues as above, and isn't really thematically sound, but differs it enough from Heal and LW to consider

Simple Regrade Mono Aether but with even less interaction than before!

Decks / WBH (Because DBH is ugly)
« on: December 23, 2020, 02:23:33 am »
I take it back Whirlpool is a good card.
GoO Whirlpool is interesting, it alleviates a lot of issues that Discord has (awkward quanta for turn 1/2 Discord in decks that would prefer to run full pillars, not blocked by Shields, no awkward downtime after BH since Whirlpool can activate in the middle of a turn), but requires 8 slots instead of 4 to use. This heavily restricts the amount of damage/control cards the deck can run, but the lockdown is far more apparent.

I feel for the Luci version you can get away with 3 Hogs, letting you put in Hourglass or something similar. Since they're getting drilled anyway

Decks / New Starter Decks
« on: December 17, 2020, 12:34:03 pm »
With the idea of removing the element choice from the beginning of the game (since it doesn't impact the game in any way), there's the idea of using 6 duo decks, 3 quad decks and 1 rainbow deck as a replacement. These decks do have the intent of being fairly varied, but of course there is some overlap. Looking for more opinions on the decks before considering them anything close to official.
There are restrictions on amount of Uncommons and Commons, so for deck choices please keep in mind that uncommon substitutions should be 1:1, and further keep in mind that the decks are supposed to be improvable-but-good, since it makes no sense to give bad decks to new players.

Considering Salvagers get the +1 when a perm is destroyed, I'd consider going heavier into the Deflags
Edit: Just realised you do have the 3 Deflags, though I'd partially consider another form of PC too

Decks / Poison Heal
« on: December 07, 2020, 01:11:45 am »Poison Heal
PDials is fairly dead with the severe nerfs to Sundial, however other Poison decks still exist. This one is tuned more for Arena 2 farming since there is a distinct lack of those kinds of farming decks, thus, cards like Dim Shield can just be stolen or deflagged, or otherwise bypassed. SoSac is comparably harder to remove, although the AI does a damn good job of trying. Hence, we run Heals to deter bursting, and also to raise our hp over the 40hp threshold needed to play SoSac, in situations where you're only being hit for 16 a turn rather than the 20 for the even match. This is also the reason why we choose Heal over SoDiv, however SoDiv may be a preferable option.
SoBra is a consideration for the deck so you can draw into more poisons and more SoSacs, however the heal version is a lot more consistent. I can often end with positive winrates against Arena 2, which is hard to say of many many decks. Enjoy using this for 2 days until people start to counter it!!

New Card Suggestions / Re: Unstable Transporter
« on: December 06, 2020, 09:44:22 am »
Despite the high chance of failure, I am concerned about the ability to run 6 of them in a deck. At least with something like OE you're required to use Flying Weapon or something similar, and something like Elf is significantly easier to deal with, and costs quite a lot. I would expect a cost increase to probably the ability to prevent the abuse, and careful tinkering of the elements so that it's not just in Cardinal elements, nor give Life too much CC. Despite this, I do quite like the theme of the card, and the ability is quite interesting too

It's probably not worth making a new thread about it, since I'm literally just replacing 6 cards with 6 different cards, however here's the Time Terror version

Standard deck, GoO inclusion makes the decks much more consistent. Despite SoPa having the freeze, GoO getting T1 SoPa out makes up for it.
SoPa Wardens w/ Dev
Devourers preferred in OEtG as they provide some amount of early game denial, +creature that can burrow +quanta generation to fuel itself and other cards. GoO being able to fuel T1 SoPas makes the deck extremely potent.

Decks / SoW Reflect - The Many Variations
« on: December 05, 2020, 03:01:02 am »
As there are many decks to cover, they will be split into multiple sections in multiple spoilers. Different variants include different amount of SoW copies, which correlate to how heavily they require the combo to go off. As such, some variants utilising 4 SoW will use it as a creature denial rather than a dedicated win condition.
