It'd be a Yugi card if it does what you guys think it does. I don't think UDE will errata it.

If so, I couldn't tell.

I suppose smileys are useful for expressing the tone of your statement. :)

Also, UDE errated Stilt Man after people on these message boards went crazy about how 2 Stilt-Mans cause an infinite loop. So, hopefully, UDE will at least respond to this, so that we can get to testing for San Fran with a good idea of how the cards will work when we get there.

Completely different.

Stilt-Man worked incorrectly. Whether or not Vsrealms peons said anything, UDE would (should?) have noticed and would have corrected that mistake without us.

If UDE made an oversight and thought that the card could not KO 1 drops multiple times, then he will be given errata; but regardless, neither card would be given errata just because Vsrealms is asking for it.

And like I said, UDE will not come in here and say "The card is not getting errata." So if you don't hear anything, test according to current text.

After you've done this the resource is turned face-down again and you retain priority. You can then pass, or you can shoot another 1-drop.

Use this power only while Adam Strange is in your resource row and only during the recovery phase.

Ok, maybe I'm missing something, but...

1. Put Strange's effect on chain 10 times to blast 10 1 drops.
2. The first effect resolves. Adam Strange is KO'd. He is no longer in the resoucre row.
3. The other 9 effects fail to resolve because Adam Strange is not in the resource row upon resolution.

kyrie,

USE THIS POWER only applies to putting a power on the chain.

KO target 1 drop has no condition (such as, "If A.S. is in your resource row, KO target 1 drop").

The target 1 drop part does not care if he remains in your resource row.

Yeah I know all that but it is just another card those decks will need to tech for. I may be a bit biased since I don't like any deck that relies so heavily on a character or a one drop in particular. I guess I have the simular mind set to Bibamofo. They are suppose to be fragile characters NOT winning games. What I really meant I guess is that it isn't a big deal to me since I don't like those decks but I think they can still play around this card. It just means those decks will need to tech a bit more against it. A cloack of Nabu on Chomin will solve that problem and faces will just need to play more two drops not just Joysticks, Archangles ect for big hits. That's why they stock up their hands anyway. Even if this card can do what it says I'm betting people will still find ways to compensate for it if they exspect it. It's really up to what kairos10 said though. It is if UDE intended for it to do this or not is the question. I personally think it is intentional seeing all the weeine hate we lost in Silver Age. I think it is powerful sure just not unbelievable.

(Pawn_Skipper made a good point about hurting their options in future sets though.)

Edit: And their is no need to be so rude. I get what your saying but if you want people to listen it helps to be a little polite every now an then to others.

Ah, looks like I read it incorrectly. You are right. Wow. This seriously puts the pain on a couple of new deck ideas I had for silver. Guess I'll have to look into ManBull if Strange doesn't get errata.

I personally don't care if you or anybody else listens to me. You obviously listened or you wouldn't have put thought into your reply. Thanks for not just shouting out something without backing it up this time, however.

I still don't think this does anything good for the meta since it wipes out a strategy so many decks use. This wide open meta gets shifted a lot with this card. (See previous post with explanation.)

Hmm - At first I was like - cool a 1 drop board clearer, not as powerful as Flame Trap, but not as costly - But when I think of the decks it nerfs - kind of a toss up.

Anti-GL deserves the hate so I'm ok with that.

X-faces. Gleevil, Straight Faces, etc - really screws them off init where they are trying to hole up for the turn and swing back big the next turn.

New School - deck searchers get pwn3d

Child Lock - BB Sue, GG.

Witching Hour / New Bloods - I was so sure this was going ot be the next bomb - dang! ;)

All good and well saying it should be errata'd. But come on! Do you really think that it would even be a rare if they didn't intend for it to hose certain decks?

If you could only use him once and had to replace him he would be not worth using.

Off curve strategies are rampant and 1 drops are getting larger and more important for alot of decks. This guy was probably printed to give the option of taking out those key characters and changing up the meta a bit.

I think it's good the way it is and besides if you want maximum hosing you have to wait to use the effect til later turn and risk taking huge damage. In this way it is balanced in that you can't just waste it early because it will come back to haunt you later.

Also when I really put my mind to it - this is a good thing, here's why

You are putting a card in your deck that hoses only the 1 drops in an offcurve deck - In comparison to Flametrap - which no one is crying incessantly about, it's pretty even with all of the pros and cons.

In decks where A Strange is a splash it will cost you as much as Flame Trap - EomE + discarded card. And then, you still have to squirrel him onto your row.

Hmmm - I'm thinking this is much ado about doo doo.

Exactly. It gives decks that have absolutely no game against child lock, AGL, faces, whatever a chance to have something that can even or turn the odds in their favour. It's a good card that will give the meta a needed shake.

It may even be able to hold High Voltage back long enough for people to get back at their opponent with higher drops.

I don't think it "wrecks" High voltage - Especially by the time you can conceivable search and get it in your row - Like turn 3 normally

w00t! i got my playset of Adam Strange's already :D

I just think the same. They didn't make a card that doesn't allow to play a type of deck (or more than one: swarm, army...) and they'll errated the card. Come on! They couldn't make a card that for FREE destroys ANY number of 1-drops....it doesn't have any sense...
