Now, if you tell me if there is a leader which can do this, that is committing 66% of the leader ability and playing a single card and can generate 19 points without any "Conditions Applied", I would say it is pretty OP. And if someone tells me that that leader is from a faction that is dead and RIP and all, I would be thoroughly confused. But that is what is happening. No offense to my fellow dear MO players, but please don't keep saying that MO is weak and dead when you have got a top 3 leader season after season, closely competing with SK and even NR.
I know SW with Anseis "can" get more value than this "if there is a tall unit on board". More ever SW is a broken leader and no one is saying NR is dead and RIP. Even Inspired Zeal can get 12 points by playing Seltkirk or Anseis and using only 33% of the charges. Imposter can take a tall unit and kill the opponent's tall unit by playing the Mage by committing 100% of the leader ability. PF can use the leader ability and kill the tallest unit unconditionally, playing 8 points + tall unit removed, committing 100% of the leader ability. There can be more examples (Jackpot + Philippa CAN* play for 21 points with 100% leader commitment).
But every other ability needs a certain build-up and condition to get the value, sometimes just yourself working up to the combo and sometimes expecting the opponent to do somethings. But OH + Detlaff is an unconditional 19 points on board without considering any other potential synergies like thrive. You are never under "I can pass now safely" zone. Every time I play against OH, it is just overwhelming. I am not saying OH should be nerfed. NO. But at least acknowledge that OH is pretty damn OP.
Not just that, when playing against OH, you can't play your engine as first card as it will be Manticored and if it is a 4 power unit, it will be instantly Mirunaed. If you stack a row it will be Werecated. OH forces you to play around a lot of cards and make your general overall game play weaker due to instant DW trigger. And on Red Coin, it can abuse like no other leader can. I don't complaint about needing to play around all these cards. It is part of the game, but calling MO weak is something I am not able to accept it.
Also, if you have one playable leader/deck from a faction, that is all a faction can expect. Even SK, though using different leaders it is all Warriors. ST playing two leaders, but use almost identical low-unit decks. One playable decks/archetype is all we can expect now. And in that, MO has got one of the top OP leader/deck.
