But it is very much board dependent. If you play against deck comprising a lot of removals (e.g. green or blue decks) it is 8-10 point card for 13 provisions. Also if it is pulled from deck without activating deploy effect...
I do not argue, it is good card, but would not say that objectively better than Old Speartip.
I am not saying it should not exist, what I am saying is that it only requires 4 units in a row to reach the same value as Speartip, while being able to move points to damage (to dodge removal and disable engines) and being 2 points cheaper.
Saying it is an 8 point card is not exactly easy to be the case, it is extremely uncommon to have less than 2 units on a row, unless you are doing something wrong.
What I am saying that this is an Old Speartip on crack as a finisher and can more easily swing a round in your favor, while being a lower provision investment.
And against a Green deck it will easily still be good as a large body.
Not to mention that against Blue this will rather likely be used to cement a (-1) for the last round, being a large point gap to overcome, while denying 1 engine.
This is definitely an all around stronger version of Old Speartip, which in an on itself allows to tempo an opponent down a card, a concept terribly neglected by Scoiatael in homecoming, this should fix that.
The power of the bomb depends on whether it counts "killed by poison" as a trigger for its deathblow.
So it is either slightly conditional or mass removal.
