When you're up against clay, preventing a single battle winner doesn't do a whole lot.

And when every brigade has a FBTN character, every character that isn't CB-something threatens to be a dead card every time you activate its ability.

If Rapha gets a FBTN ability, I'd prefer it to negate cards of */X or less, where X is giants, Philistines, something like that.  Anything that prevents it from being another KoT.

When you print cards that create an offense where the only consistent counter is FBTN ECs, you have to print an extra FBTN EC or two if you want defense diversity.

God bless you

So we have to create more of the same things to make defense more diverse?   ;)

That may be true, but I still think that characters that simply make abilities on cards not work at all is unhealthy for the game in the long-run.  Everything eventually negates, or is CB-something, or both.

Part of that is due to the current average power level and the relatively limited design space Redemption has compared to some other card games.

I mean does anyone seriously believe that people will ever use a mono defense that isn't fast (barring a top-down rule)? Splash is a part of the game right now. FBTN Rapha just gives  you more incentive towards playing a giant splash like Kot attracts all his demon and magician friends. #4 is probably going to be a marginalized type 1 card and great for type 2.

That's a great question. I think of RDT's 2015 nats-winning D and while it was a splash D, it wasn't a speedy one. It encourages me that as long as there's a diversity of quality options within a civilization/theme or brigade, there will be the possibility for making a strong D of it- even if it isn't one of the fastest. As RDT's deck illustrated, how a defense works with the offense is what's most important.

That deck was a speed deck built around Greeks, forced draw, site lock and abom.  He had me locked and beat in about 8-12 minutes in the national finals.

Well what did you expect thinking you could win with a mono-silver deck?

Haha oh yeah it's impossible to win with mono-silver (pre-RoJ of course!)...Why don't you just add in some random never-used Warriors GE while you're at it?  ::)

Ah I thought it was a "turtle" deck, not a speed deck. But I see what you mean, as he was trying to get his oppenent to deck out asap
