It’s the only card that can be broken in the balance council and all because it wasn’t changed like Ciri and Nekker were.
Its effect should be changed to “Spawn a 1-power copy of self to this row.”
But wait?? Wouldn’t that mean the spawned copy can also spawn copies of itself? NO! Because it’s not a base copy. Cards that someone a base copy of self have everything the way it is in the deckbuilder, with the original stats and order available to use. If it’s just a copy (at 1-power), it won’t be able to use its order as the original already used its order.
It doesn’t matter what words they use. The point is that no matter what power the original is, it can spawn a 1-power copy of itself that can’t use its order ability. The only reason it can’t is because the effect is worded to spawn a copy that is 1 base power less than self, rather than just spawning a 1-power copy that can’t use its order ability.
It’s fine that it was nerfed, but it shouldn’t be made to be broken just because of the way it’s coded. I understand devs aren’t changing cards anymore, but please do this last fix so it doesn’t remain the only functionally broken card in the game. If Ciri: Nova and Golden Nekker could receive protections against nerfs bricking their effects, this card should too.
