Ok everyone says sacred nova is a great card, and i would agree.... when it actually works. that card has lost me more games than i have won with it. does anyone know of a substitute for it?

there isn't anything comparable for a priest chain. It's too good. exorcism is the closest but doesn't chain or hurt humans and has a lower max

That card is so damn good that it doesnt need a substitution.
Think of it like this. With this card u get a dmg boost between 0 and 10 against players with 0 spirit and can chain anything. Also most players do not counter theurgy cards.

Good cards that give attack bonus and chain normally give u attack +2/+3. Although there is a big randomnes in sacred nova, statistically it should be more powerful for chaining.

Of course sacred nova has a statistical weakness against chars with high spirit.
e.g. a char with spirit = 3 (a mage)
Power boost with spiritual dual: +0, +0, +0, +0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6, +7
Avarage: +2,8

On the other hand a char with spirit = 1 (any warrior)
power boost: +0, +0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5 ..., +9
avarage: +4,5

Against a char with spirit = 0 the average is even +5,5!

So if u use this card against mages or other chars with high spirit scores, its dmg boost is still good. If u use it against warriors, its dmg boost is great!

i agree it is a good card against chars with low spirit but if is does hit big, say agianst gakusha you won't kill him and he will kill you

i wouldn't change it really, as said before exorcism it's the closest thing but still not good enough. personally i love it, i've OHKO characters in the first turn while their hp is full far too many times with it..

Agreed, and it's the highest possible magic damage priest had to offer..
Plus got many nasty combos:

Sacred Nova + Solaris =epic heal
Sacred Nova + Spiritual Duel = epic payback
Sacred nova + you name it = epic combos

I wouldnt fully disregard it but if you feel it isnt performing well for you and you run three take one out for something else that would help your deck.

As good as it can be it can be just as bad, but its no different than when you need the top 2 attack possibilities and you get the low.

Priests are an act of faith, and sometimes that faith fails you. If you don't like the random, go use Sphinx, otherwise me getting a unexpected 1 turn KO with my priest against Abomination using Sacred Nova is good enough for me .
