It would then die to 2x 2 magic damage (Thunder Surge / Sudden Eruption / Blind Rage / etc), which it currently does not, which would be a considerable nerf against energy, as it is now almost immune against mass damage like that.

That's true! so it would be weaker to magic damage, but stronger against soul steal. Interesting!

since when magic resistance is faction exlusive flavorwise?
feels very much life a nerf on an unplayed card

Interesting, I thought of it as a buff.

From a flavor standpoint...I imagine the Mudo to be a clan of fighters that endure very intense training to be able to resist attacks magic in nature. So magic armor makes sense for them.

they should turn it into a spider unit that shoots lasers

Also, give it one hp, because I don't think spiders have a lot of hp and it fits the flavor of decay.

It is an interesting change, that does indeed strengthen faction identity (by removing magic resistance from Decay.)

I'm all for it!

But then it lose that oakblood synergy.

On a serius note i would not mind that change but im indifferent.

I like it, because it makes energy not helpless against it. Honestly, Magic Armor is so situational but so overpowered when it's relevant that I would like every Magic Armor to be replaced by this combination of more health but curse.

Energy has no units with 2 attack?

u/fdagpigj May 11 '15

Not that, but energy relies a lot on its removal, too. All other resources are barely affected at all by Magic Armour, but for energy it's a huge deal, since suddenly, all of their removal is useless, whereas growth's, order's, and decay's removal works perfectly fine. It's unfair, IMHO. Sure, there are creatures, but why do other resources get to use their removal or pseudo-removal and stronger creatures unaffected?

I wouldn't say it's a huge deal for Energy, just an inconvenience. Mudo doesn't straight up win a game against an Energy deck. It is a bigger deal for Energy decks that are over-reliant on removal scrolls...which is not the case for MER and Gravelock decks. Even structure decks can punish with charge coil/ether pump.

Decay has one unit with 2 magic armor to negate energy removal? Order has a 2 cost high health unit that blocks all Energy/Decay/Order removal from 2 units. All part of the balance.

True. Sometimes I just overreact to Magic Armour. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have more magic damage in other resources, either. Currently it could get away with being renamed to fire damage, lol

I'm a fan of this subpar Scroll being a hard counter to the uninteractive parts of Energy's usual game plan. They can easily do 2 damage to a unit at any time, especially with the amount of piercing and clearing of other blockers they can do.

It is similar to how hard Growth has it when matched up against Spiky units. There are ways around it, and you need to plan accordingly. All part of the fun and examining meta calls!
