Yeah that mana shock is quite nice. I'll try to use the Emerald Green sometime. I've just never used them. I only used them in the early game when they were the only dragon available. Their speed of 7 is too low for me and if using a dragon I really like the benefit of the double hit from Red & Black fire, I totally exploit that. Plus R&B are much tougher imo.

I have a question about how the Emerald Green Dragon mana shock works. It seems to get more mana the more dragons are in the stack. But how much is the mana acquisition affected by the quantity of units that are shocked? Meaning, if I can only land between 2 stacks of enemy units will it give me less mana than if I got a situation where the mana shock hits 4 different stacks at the same time? Or how about if 1 of the enemy stacks being shocked only has very few units in it and the damage done by the shock far exceeds the total life of that stack, does it still give the same quantity of mana from that stack?

Probably the big turn-off for the mana shock, which is one big reason I don't use the EGD that much is it seems like sometimes I get like 1-2 mana from it even if other times I get as much as 24 mana (the most I can remember getting).

I wonder if I should put the question as a new topic in case some people don't read this far down in this one...
It would really be nice to know the exact and complete mechanics for how the the EGD mana shock works.
