my sentiments exactly...

Also, since Strategic Thinking does'nt say play this card at the start the recruit phase: if I pay attention to the timing of when I play this card then I can my get my counter magic going without helping my best bud sitting across the table from me. hehehe...:devious:

This is kind of like asking what do you like better, Secret Files or Membership Drive.

It's apples and oranges. If you were building a deck would you ever have to make a choice between these two cards?

I seriously doubt it.

That's where I come in. Giving you something to talk about and stuff.

And in your analogy it would be more like Secret Files vs. World War III since Membership Drive is nerfed by the recruit instead of the comes into play.

I'm still with Strategic Thinking. silkmane is right, you can offset the drawback easier than Call in a Favor.

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Which IS better... apples or oranges?

Apples.

They sexy.

But oranges squirt.

woundl't he lose any counters when he leaves play?

also someone siad call in a favor was the cheaper alternative but the two auctions i saw on ebay went for $40 a piece which is mobilize range....not cheaper imho.

When redshift returns to play he will get the counters again that turn.

Strategic thinking IS strong, and used with a little strategy (off initative AFTER your opponent has already recruited, for instance) can be a game deciding play.

That said, the same is true for Favor, since you can wait until your opponent has already recruited, however, this one will help your opponent for the next turn's drop if not already in hand. That seems like a much worse position to be in, even after strategically waiting to play it.

Apples. Generally more flavorful, and many more health benefits that can't be recreated by alternatives. While oranges ARE healthy, there are several other citrus fruits that are much better for you in EVERY respect. Sadly, they don't generally taste as good as oranges... can't win them all.

sorry maybe this was asked, but how is it worse then a membership drive. if anything it is better. you could play on one drops, not two or higher and other then that they are the same.

confused?
