“There is 50% chance to create a Good Gargoyle Gem when my turn begins.” I’d love to know which outsourced center wrote/designed this monstrosity. ---

For anyone curious, “Destroy a 5x5 Circle” is the same shape as Haunted Guardian’s “Explode Gems in a 3x3 Cross”, which is a 5x5 without the 4 corners… Would be a lot easier as a 5x5 block and would be easier to skip 5x5 in the first place, but alas. ---

At least you could have found a quote not already in use for the flavor text… unless it’s Jotnar under the armor? ![Screenshot_20230407_145419](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/c/3cb90dcfd0edfd09c31d9b8316968c4794b113a2.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20230407_145353](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/e/feda2d3ad6e4f5e50f4afc5d6c82fb949ce93fc6.jpeg) ---

Considering the art is missing… they didn’t. ---

Given the Colossus is only a construct, at least it’s not a giant disappointment. This mythic cycle of effects is not impressive in the slightest. It deliberately feels like they took it as a personal challenge when some of the zodiacs were criticized for being among the worst mythics out there. ---

I read it’s spell 5 times, because I was sure I missed something the 4 first times, at the 5th time I just understood that it is just REALLY poor. ---

Why not just make it 100% of the time? 50% should be something that’s on an epic… ---

> “Create and Explode a Good Gargoyle Gem when my turn begins” … or a similar variation (“Explode, and then Create,”?) would be a bit more interesting and helpful(?), and still wouldn’t make it a must-have. ---

This should have been Construct / Giant rather than just Construct… and also just a whole lot better in general. ---
