The main reason the 0/2 Buckler is joked about is because it's one of the worst enhancements in the game. While there are probably a handful of worse cards (though I cannot think of any off the top of my head, except for maybe Jacob's Ladder in T2), Buckler became a joke a while ago and has simply stuck.
Are there any other cards that are in a similar situation to this one?

It's more useful.Quote from: Forever 12 on December 30, 2011, 03:16:25 PMAre there any other cards that are in a similar situation to this one?Well, 0/2 Coat of Mail and 0/2 Helmet of Brass are in the same boat, but Buckler is unique because we joke about it. Also, if you hear somebody say "Black is weak", it's a joke.

Ironically enough, Black took a big hit with the new 2011 set. There are better defenses in all sizes.
If you don't know Buckler is a 0/2 enhancement, Red brigade, with the ability to return a hero to your hand if discarded.
Actually the one that is referenced most of all is the very rare promo of which I think I heard there were only 5 in existence.
Deborah, Gideon, and Samson are some really good judges with no special abilities but some really intense and powerful cards that can be played on them.

What is this ANB that you speak of?
What other enhancement could bring such fame and infamy? What but Green brigade could cause both REPs and RLKs alike to scowl in terror annoyance that would make someone want to strangle a man?

What's an "Errata"?
Quote from: Forever 12 on January 02, 2012, 11:24:25 AMWhat's an "Errata"?When Rob Anderson (the creator of Redemption, and owner of Cactus Game Design) changes the way a card works. For instance, Holy Grail received the errata that it couldn't be used during the battle phase on characters in battle.
