Some other things to note:
1. Dimensional Shield is imbalanced. You can basically chain them together and never get hit.
2. Choosing a game and then clicking "back to main" awards you a loss without ever having playing.

@Zanzarino: The cancel thing should probably be adjusted so quantums aren't lost. In .4 are there even and spells that can you gain an effect from and then hit cancel?

is dimenshional shield bugged? its supposed to last only 3 turns, but the comps always lasts till i day, way past 3 turns...

I see... also.. i'd like something useful to happen if you go second, because as it is now, the starting player has a major advantage over the second one. A draw or something would balance it more.

That "error" is intended, it keeps player from abusing the cancel function. I know you are not one of them, but there is always someone trying to get at least part of the card effect, cancel, and re-use it.

Entertaining, but a major error - If you click firebolt, then hit cancel, even though you didnt use the spell, you still lose 3 fire quantams..

But that is what makes it more strategic is having to win with the cards that you are dealt with. You have to create a deck where luck is in your favour i.e keeping hold of a minimum amount of elements and cards means you got a better chance of getting what you want into play.

@icecue7 it is based on luck because it all depends on the cards you get. there isn't enough "helper" cards to make it strategy-based

Just beat a top 50 who was playing otyughs and a fire deck. I stole his fire wall, killed his dragons with my parasites, and killed him with like three Chrysoara that just kept stacking him up on poison. Take that everybody who thinks that only aether, fire, and otyughs can win! This is posted about 10 minutes after my last comment

I have done quite well with a darkness deck that also uses quite a bit of death and water. Parasites and Chrysaora are the best cards with low costs, nova is an awesome first play, and dusk mantle halves all damage to you(in the form of attacks missing). Dragons are just plain awesome, but they are not the best cards. Only use a "steal" on an opponent's weapon or shield.

@Zanzarino: If you are correct, then I wonder why others haven't done the same. From EA's point of view, it may be a tool intended only for the creation of creatures for Spore or for the publicity of Spore.

@travcm: I am not "stealing" images from sporepedia or using any part of the spore game, the images you see in the game are made for the game by a group of artists that use spore as a TOOL. The Last time I checked the copyright belongs to the artist, not to the company that created the tool: The copyright of this game is mine and not property of Adobe, or Macromedia. Even though I did use Macromedia flash to create it.

Anyone that thinks this game is based on luck sucks at deck building. Though to be fair there is a ton of luck in choosing your starting colour the first time you play as some colours do quite suck.

Wow I got pretty lucky. The game glitched hardcore and I would automatically win any battle I entered. Then I got double coins for winning with full HP, and every time I spun the slots I would get a blank card with a coin value of NaN, and if I sold one, I could buy as many cards as I wanted :D

this game is based on luck. there is no skill involved. Also, the cards in the shop are too expensive. how are you supposed to get 106 coins for the dragons?

@zanzarino - hi, is not working again.. is getting back again - each time i login is getting the same earlier score - i don't think is only for 10min because i played for 2-3 hours.. i'll just sent a screenshot again in the bug report

Now that I have 100 wins and 50 losses, I've become more familiar with the cards and such. I think previous comments have captured the power of the Otyugh...they really keep the game (against the AI) pretty easy.

My server have been down for about 10 minutes today, during that period of time the auto-save requests have been ignored. It should be fine now.

After playing a hundred or so times, I'm not tired of my deck and would like to create a new one. It's a shame I can't have more than one.

@Scaw, have you been playing "PvP?" Then that's probably why. It's not the games issue, but rather the fact that too many people use the card in their decks.
@Terrokian, does Top 10 really matter though? Plus, he's still working on the game. Notice how it's only version 0.3. You could be patient.

ya once ya got ya deck all set the extra money n cards mean nada. also chaffing that any score earned is permanent. in other words I have 1900 points. I play and win one hand for 25 pts and I'm suddenly top 10 for the day. really need to redo the scoring system.

*lol* I own now 37 fire dragons (think the name is crimson dragon)- what I am supposed to do with them - never use this dragons. Maybe u should check that this card doesnt come so often. Somtimes i get 3 in a row.

A good Otyugh deck will plop down a 0/3 critter and then 2 +3/3 blessings on it. Makes it a 6/9 creature that eats anything. You can feed it more Otyughs or hit it with another blessing according to needs. When I play I makes sure to hold one blessing back for those annoying Parallel Universes. That way when they copy my Otyugh, I just buff it on my turn and eat the copy. The Dimensional Shield is annoying too. I usually spend the time eating whatever creatures are in play. I took a screenie of an Otyugh I had that was 23/26. CPU used three DS on me so he got to eat for a long time.

Very enjoyable game, got the hang of it rather quickly, I like how you get a chance to win extra cards depending on what level you play at. 5/5

Since there are so many cards, sometimes the opponent plays a spell and I didn't have enough time to read it. It's a bit frustrating. As a long-time Magic player, I found the game to be just a little bit heavy in the front end...but it's surprisingly balanced.

Nikrom I dont understand why u have troubles with Othyugs. This is one of the cards I having no probs at all. Always use parrallel universe and lightning to blast his card after I copied it. I really struggle with poision.

Another note. So far the only realistic decks I see is is the Fire (6 Novas 6 Crimson Dragons 6 Fire Bolts 12 Fire Pillars), Aether (6 Novas 6 Lightnings 6 Dimensional Shields 6 Parallel Universe 6 Aether Pillars), and Light/Gravity (6 Novas 6 Otyughs 6 Blessings 6 Gravity Pillars 6 Light Pillars). All other deck combos just seem to really lose to these 3. That is not to say they don't win occasionally. But they definitely lose the majority of the time.

This game is awesome. But it would be great if we could choose our opponent.
I wonder if it's normal that some cards like devonian dragon or vampiric stiletto cannot be bought by the bazaar.
And the hammer doesn't seems to work, my gravity creatures do not inflict 1 damage bonus.
Great game!

there's a bug on Boneyard.I had 4 summoned skeletons (not generated by the boneyard but played from hand), thunderstorm came in wiped em up and no new skeletons were generated by my 3 boneyards.Boneyard states whenever ANY creature is killed a skeleton is generated.I am noticing that it is not doing this as it should.The scoring system needs checked.You get 25 points for a tier 4 win or lose 15 points for a tier 4 loss.I have 1900 points on my one acct and there is no realistic way (even though I win 95%) that I can foresee ever getting 25000. I will need 924 straight wins just to tie it. IMHO we really need to recheck gameplay balance. My Otyugh deck so long as it doesn't go horribly wrong (3 lands 3 novas and 2 blessings then draw nothing but pillars for example) is unbeatable.

I would love to be able to replay the same opponent deck if losing to opponent - just to see if it was bad luck in the shuffle.

@Nikrom, zanzarino is definitely working on the game still and getting new cards put together for each element so it will be more balanced, and working on the multiplayer aspect. You should check out his thread about the game (it includes some of his ideas for the next update): http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=794854

And a new rank system. This one is based in time wasted on game. It is unfair. Better would be, in example, a rank system based in deifference btwn won and lose pvp matches.

A few ideas: A "save deck" tool for do more than 1 deck (actually I hace over 1000 coins.) Everybody will be tired of use only a unique deck. A game as this claims for use creativity and do more decks. Also, the A.I. have no idea about playing againts Otyughs or use resources properly, i.e use Fire Bolt against licantrope and not to kill it. But the most important, the bult deck tool.

I wish Kong deleted the 1000 character limit on the comments...
Also, I wish the spaces showed up after each Enter I pressed...formatting helps a person read...Kong just won't allow me to format it into a way that readers can appreciate it...
