I'm not going to be able to say what exactly the issue is here. If it's with bribery itself or perhaps NG being able to replay it. All I know is that there is an issue. I noticed it awhile back when someone would use bribery to replay defenders. That seemed pretty crazy especially if they could do it more than once. Today the issue showed itself to me more than ever.
I was playing a swarm deck so I wasn't going to be using much control and I was just trying to outpoint this player in the final round. I knew he would get a lot of value replaying bribery and probably his leader and if I lost on points that way then so be it, fair play. The issue is that this person ended up using bribery to spawn Igni from my deck. Not once, not twice, but THREE times. Bribery is far too consistent if it can pull the same gold three times.
Again, I don't know what the solution is here. I want bribery to be playable but it seems far too strong to me in it's current form.
Edit:
I have two huge issues with this card.
-First and foremost this is a strong RNG card. I really don't like RNG cards. There is enough RNG built into the game already through the match up and your card draw. Adding in cards that can roll low or very high simply makes the game worse.
-My second problem with this card is that there there is a good chance that the good card the bribery player pulls will straight up counter your own strategy. One example is playing a swarm deck and your opponent pulls something like glusty or yennifer.
