Static Shock

[Secruoser]

Is it still possible to change it? If possible, please make it able to target the same target twice to make it not so useless. 2cc for 2 damage on 1 target or 1 damage on 2 targets seems reasonable.

I think it was meant to combo with ravagers...

Combo with Ravagers? Never seen anyone running a Shadow Mage Ravager deck. But as for changing it, it is too late, Dark Prophecies is already set in stone. I think making it stronger would kinda be a bad idea though, Mages already have so much strong direct damage. Also if you want it to do a bit more damage you could use Voltar's Ring with it if your deck is based on electrical damage. Also could be used as a cheap alternate way to give Thunderstone Golem his buff , aside from Lightning Strike.

oh I was mixed up, thought they were talking about that lame elemental card, Shocking Grasp. I always forget the useless cards...

If you use the lighting ring it is actually a half way decent card.

Too bad lighting ring doesn't seem to be half way decent.

Sometimes I wish Dark Prophecies would have gone through a longer beta test process: so many underwhelming cards that could have opened some different archetypes.

If only Voltar Ring costed 3cc (or hey even 2 with some limitations) there could be a viable electric-Nish deck.

As it stands Static Shock, Voltar's Ring and Thunderstone Golem are just too slow to build a deck around.
I remember Gondorian saying that the next set will bring damage type synergy cards, maybe not All Hope is Lost? ;D

You're right, DP has some good ideas not developed.
Lingering Essence for Jericho is another one.
With SF they are trying to convert some of these ideas into playable decks, but sometimes it works (Jericho), sometimes it doesn't (Nish)
