The new "Summon" mechanic seems a bit boring and unrewarding. In battle, a unit is not summoned to be dropped on the field as cannon fodder without doing anything. It would be much more interesting and also makes sense if a summoned unit is played as normal and deploys. Cards like Vilgefortz, Tibor Eggebracht and Golyat (deathwish) would also become more interesting, I dare say more balanced (although Vilgefortz ranged may have to be limited to summoning bronze only then).
Regarding the above "played as normal", I mean played on a row where normally played as by the player who owns the card. So spying units are played on the opponents side, or on your side if you summon an opponent's spying unit. Which brings me to something I experienced yesterday. I got really unlucky with this mechanic and felt that this should not be possible.
- I killed my opponent's Golyat
- Golyat's deathwish summoned my Sabrina Glevissig to a row on my side that already had 4 units
- Opponent plays Sihil (of all cards!) and kills Sabrina, triggering her deathwish for a nice 13 total damage
So in short, proposal for Summon to summon units to a row where they could normally be played by the player who owns the card and to let summoned units deploy. Looking forward to others' thoughts on this.
Edit to add "I".
