the best Search card, for decks with more than 1 team absolutely, 100% true. by the margin you think. i acctually dissagree with that. as i have stated earlier. i dont thing the gap between Enemy and "all other search cards" is as wide as you do.
again, i agree that it does that, too an extent. there are still other good decks out there that dont run enemy.
that doesnt nesessarily hold true for VS as it might for other games. is it a cause for concern. yeah, a little. but again, we see this in varying degrees.

Dr. Light limited future design of cards a LOT more than Enemy might.

well, just save yourself, and everyone else the agony, and never get your 4th Enemy :p.


ok, now i will admit that Enemy is on UDE's watchlist of "possible problem cards" (this list has been confermed to exist, i think it was Dave Humphries who said it, but no confermation as to what is on the list). but i honestly dont think it will get banned.

Pre-Plan to ban when a replacement comes out is fine.

Announcing such a banning before that replacement is even announced is another, as that will still have a negative impact.

Okay lets just look at at the justifications for the Dr.Lights bannings:

Well similar case so let's see if some of them apply

Ok I do not think I have to emphasize how many EOME are in the top decklists so let's move on.

Well EOME enables all the decks with which Dr.Light was good and many more. It is the ultimate enabler, almost every broken and not so broken combination deck ran it 4x. Honestly would the Arkham deck been that effective if there was no EOME. I can guarantee you now that in any combination deck that will appear in the future EOME will be there holding it together. Exactly like the tutors did in magic.

Honestly I think we can thank the amount of team stamping that will be coming up in the next set with dual loyalties and whatnot to EOME. I am sure their intention was a good generic tutor, however the card ended up doing that whole silver bullet/cherry picking thing so they now have to be careful with designing cards.

Well this is highly debatable.
[warning sweeping generalizations will follow]
On one hand there is the group that likes the card because it enables combinations that were not possible to be consistent on the other hand there is a group of people who hate the auto 4x, cherry picking meta that it unleashed.

I think the problem with the first group's argument that while it might make your deck consistent, it would still get it's beaten consistently by one of the cherry-picking decks or other EOME powered nonsense. Some people are fine with this though so... I think a somewhat less powerful version of it as a replacement (or replacements) would be fine. Make them have an good cost for the effect so they are in line with the other tutors.


Well it did warp the meta into these multi-team decks, which lead to the design of Mobilize to compensate (it is yet to be seen if that will be succesful). I doubt that was the intention of them.

We essentially got one tournament to play with the (Shadow) GLOCK we (my brother and I) have been building and trading for, for a long time before the banning of Dr.Light came. So, well..... yeah :ermm: :cry:

i am not useing a lot of this post because, quite frankly, i agree.

i dont think this is a bad thing. honestly, it needs to happen anyway.



again, i dont think it is non-sense. Mobilize should help stabilize the situation. also, the top 10 decks from PCLA III has diversity to it.

Since Dual Loyalty just came up : Although it's nice in theory - It is a prety horrible form of team stamping in practice - It might as well read "This card will sit in a box/binder."

I think EoE should be banned and Mobilize should be reprinted as a common.

With EoE gone a lot of random frankie/ivy decks wouldn't be viable not having an effective tutor. The only other thing i want is an errata to roy harper to once per turn. (he really is not working as intended comboing with press the attack off int)

Other then that i'm pretty happy with the game.

Well it is a context thing: if the combination of teams is viable than they will be used,,,, I wish I had a deck for Cobalt Man but that combination of teams just did not work out.

Somewhat off topic but forget dual loyalty I want an environment where the 6 drop Captain America is playable... the card was so awesome in the previews but it has no deck that can use it.

well in the avengers team..(vs wise) vision and wonder man r much better than him

Not sure about Vision but the whole Leader theme with most likely Avengers/Thunderbolts just did not worked out. Reservists were way better than that, as was Squadron, Faces and what else the set spawned.

It somewhat irritates me that if I want to play a good Avengers deck, I have to play with the B-list avengers mostly. Apologies if I called your favorite Avenger a B-lister but the mechanic's flavor and leader's crappiness means no Cap, Iron Man or Thor playable.

I think the 6 drop Cap is a great example of a great card on it's own that just did not have the right support for the theme that he was in. Just shows you how much the context of cards matter.

Vision? Are you kidding? Vision is crap compared to Cap. Wonder Man is only considered better because the only build for the Avengers that is worth playing is Reservist, which is why Nau said he wishes there was an environment in which Cap is playable. It would have made a bit more sense if he said deck instead of environment.

EDIT: I'd also like to add that UDE are money-grubbing pricks with no interest in helping out their players. This much is evident in the rarity of Mobilize and to a lesser extent Enemy of my Enemy. I understand they are a company, and they are looking to make a profit, but this is insane.

I think it's even more insane people fall for it and spend hundreds of dollars getting boxes of X-Men and Legion or singles to get these cards.

with mobilize out, i think avengers reservist could add the a-list guys..when glock came out i added thor in my avengers reservist build

Sleeper Agent should be banned.

are you crazy, vision help me beat glock and titans...attack, cover fire, pay 1..negate it, ect...samething with ttgo...you must be kidding if you think vision is crap

lol. Substitute abuse, FTW!
