Remember that one (hundred of) time(s) people at this forum opposed the notion of Korathi being a major sloppy play/gamedesign enabler? Also remember how popular unitless SC become when they're viable, despite being hated by everyone and their dog? And, well, do you realize how prominent...

Vilgefortz - involves a chance to shoot yourself in the foot. True, this can also go your way, but good decks aren't supposed to be highrolly in their critical plays. Either way, gives some of the lost value back to your opponent, unlike Duels or bounty engines. VVM - more expensive than duels...

NR has duels and boardwipe engines, SY and SK both crap out damage, SC easily pack a bunch of rather hard removals since their points usually come from a few powerplays and they want to play specials anyway, because of Gord and Whisperers. All of them get some kind of guaranteed points from it...

To be fair, classic Crimes have the same issue as Precision Strike ST - when they're good, the game quickly stops being fun for everyone else. I bet CDPR are reluctant to do anything about them after the Drill fiasco. Passiflora has been relevant recently, so it's not like it needs a "big" buff...

Oh, the thread's still alive. Good. I still concur with the opinion that AT LEAST the banish aspect of Invo and Heatwave should be gone for good. And I don't say at lightly, because, well, I've lost enough games to gold replay cheese lately, mostly MO and SK. But it still doesn't exculpate...

Kinda...whatever? An okay meme at best, an overpriced Decoction Deluxe at worst Entirely unwarranted. Gedy doesn't even play for that many points, Mushy Truffle does. "Viy is op, let's nerf OH" energy here. Cool. Still not enough due to how incoherent self-wound is, but the general idea is...

And that's quite weird. Or maybe they don't pay attention to feedback whatsoever? I don't know. "Swingy cards" direction taken by CDPR during WotW - especially since the leader package drop - has been almost universally hated by the community and they still won't back down with this nonsense...

Oh, sure. Defenders. Except it's a forced move that defends (sorry) your important units and is still pretty awful in terms of tempo. A solid 7 for 9, plus whatever points advantage you get for using it instead of your normal card - which is unlikely to be much, considering the extreme...

...Except only the part about the tall removal and banish is true in practice, and maybe the Simlas part is kinda true? Sometimes? But you actually play him with Coup de Grace or Terranova most of the time, and it has nothing to do with Invo. Invoing Simlas is a thing that happens exactly never...

True Not entirely true. And I say it as the prime Korathi hater around here. Ditto Absolutely wrong. You steal for points 99 times out of 100, which means a stupid Sea Jackal or a Fleder.

They indeed aren't a problem now. But they could become one again. Look, all I am saying is that creating another Milva and making matchusp more binary is a hard no-no. Generally, seeing control decks as an answer to something/anything is a hard no-no, too. You shouldn't be forced to play a...

That's a totally wrong way to go about this, though. Games should be won through skill, not decided by favorability of matchups. Strong control decks can be a huge problem in this sense, as evidenced by still-recent Flurry/Precision Strike pandemics. Can't really play an engine deck if nothing...

What's up with this sudden arrogant gatekeeping? I am in pro rank, have been for a year, and I've played enough Rain SK to know what I am talking about. Ask Speci next time he streams what he thinks about this archetype if you don't trust my opinion. And, by the way, anything below 2500 is...

There is, though. She is extremely expensive, on par with certain scenarios, which lowers the quality of your deck in general. And unlike scenarios, Fucusya doesn't offer any further value - you get a unit and/or some rain, and that's it. If you res a high-cost unit in particular, she's...

I've seen a better proposal - just remove the Alchemy tag from Golden Froth. Problem solved, Preachers are now in line with everything else. The very concept of Alumni is that of a gold card. 4 body, 4 damage on deploy (and they can do better) is literally Milaen. Imagine being able to roll...
