A brief history: Post Home Coming, MO and SK dominated all factions for months and months together. ST and NR were shitty and NG was in the middle ground. After crying for months and months together slowly ST had got some buffs and was becoming better. And after a new nerfs MO became horrible and it was only SK for many months. All the decks in any tournaments were SK and ST decks would rarely surface as consistent as it had been lately. Then with poison and harmony, ST started to get stronger. Initially it was shite, but after getting good support for poison and harmony, ST became really strong.
So, the new comers who had only seen ST's glorious strength shouldln't mistake that ST was always like this. I might have created more than 20 or 25 threads whining about ST and SK (because it was like how it is now) before ST was buffed (Aelirenn was 9, Isengrim needed 5 elfs to break even, Dwarfs were shit - I mean, shittier than now, Malena didn't have zeal and was 7 provision, Treant didn't have Zeal condition, Deadeye Ambush was pathetic, Precison Strike was horrible, etc.) You get the picture right? Nothing about ST was great and almost everything was shite.
After repeated whining and whining ST became good. But there was one big loop hole. Mystic Echo. I hate that f**king ability so much. It is because of ME, ST looked so strong. And because of that image, ST started getting junker cards than all other factions and this trend had been going on for a very long time and my own ST commandos may not realize that. Lets go over what ST got in the last several updates.
Iron Judgement - Just open deck builder and filter based on Iron Judgement card set and select factions one by one. You will easily realise that ST got the weakest of all the sets. While every other faction is using the cards from IJ, ST only uses Defender and everything else is mediocre at best and even the defender is the weakest of all defenders.
MOO - Scenarios - When scenarios were introduced, every other faction got super strong scenario and ST's scenario is the weakest. While every other Scenario puts a 4 body engine, ST puts a 3 body token. Weakest Scenario in the game.
MF - (not for middle finger, but Mahakam Forge) - MF is the weakest leader introduced in the whole bunch - playing a 4P bronze card once.
Master Mirror - Weakest Evolving Card, Weakest Echo card, Weakest keyword introduced award all goes to ST. [If any MO friends are reading it and wants to say MO echo card is weaker, my kind advice is to play ST echo card and then feel the pain and come back].
And at the same time, every other faction had been getting better and better cards - all because of ME and WoB. Now, that is butchered ST is now in the drains. I don't know how many threads I will have to create and how many fevers I will have to cause, but I will fight for ST. Until then, this can be the place where injured commandos can come and get healed after getting out-numberd and butchered in game.
