Does anyone know if they will be making a good six drop in the starter? I would love to see a 6 drop Huntress with abilities similar to her 3 drop version or maybe even a different Barbara Gordon<>Batgirl. In anycase, I ask because I want to play Dick Grayson at 4 and not have to replace him on 6.
I think Cassandra Cain should always be the primary 4-drop with DG, HFA as a secondary. You only need him in certain matchups and Bat-Signal can get him when you need him. I think the 6-drop Grayson is quite underrated with both an exceptional defensive ability and a decent second ability to get you cards.
If you are not playing 7 drop bats, 6 drop dick Grayson is a excellent card. Say you still have spoiler out. They attacker her so she can evade, instead you reinforce with Dick Grayson. I cant say how many times I have done this.
I would love too see a 12/12 Huntress with the exact same ability as the 3-drop. That would be very cool.

I somewhat disagree with that. My current deck does just that but I'm really leary of doing it that way. Cassandra is strong as can be but she also has loyalty. With CS being so strong and typically using Total Anarchy there is a very good chance that you won't have a GK character on the field come turn 4. Also, let's face it sometimes Bat-Signals are nowhere to be found. Dick Grayson is not just tech against army decks. He is also very strong against Teen Titans because it is not uncommon for them to have Hawk and Tim Drake on the field at the same time. Well, DG can stun both of them in one attack. In addition, think of the current metagame and what's dominant:
1. Curved Sentinels (army)
2. Teen Titans (as mentioned above)
3. EMS (some Army and same cost characters)
4. Fantastic Fun (multiple level 1 characters)
In today's game Dick Grayson<>NW, HFA is your main 4-drop. The problem is that with the emergence of Azrael<>Batman, Nightfall there is significant replacement between turns 4 and 6 and then 6 and 7. So, until another more viable 6-drop comes around, Dick Grayson gets the nod.

I totally agree, I just have an issue with the replacement.
After seeing the new commisner Gorden I notice something that might explain why GK isn't acutely tier 1. The reason being is that allot of there good cards are one cost people. I don't know the exat link to the new Gorden but it is in German, so his effect is, when he comes into play search your deck for a card named batman and put it in your hand, shuffle your deck.
Boris > Alfred??? See I prefer Alfred because you can re-drop him if needed, plus he can also search equipments. Even if you can't reuse Alfred he's a decent throw-away for Fizzle.
I can't see me playing that Commissioner Gordon, maybe in DCMA, but not GA. The original Commish is much better in GA.
well i agrre about thw whole boris alfred thing, on that alfred is way better. Not only can he fetch equip. he has a way cooler name. Plus the old commish is ten times better then the new one, but he might be good just in the starter. Modern age GK dosn't have to many choices for one drops though.
The reason I say Boris is better is because you can use him immediately.
True, but he's useless without Doom, Doomstadt, or something else that let's you control Doom. But he is cool if you have multiples and miss a drop like you said.
reggob,
You really don't need 1 drops unless they're like Boris, Alfred, Dagger, or Longshot, etc. Unless you're doing like a weenie type rush deck of course. But if you're trying to hit a long curve like through 8, then it's kind of a waste.
I like Alfred Better than Boris Cause GK has the best equipment in the Game. Not to mention going back to your hand allows you to discard him for Flametrap of Fizzle. Droping Alfred is bad off Curve as he WILL get stunned most of the time for some huge BEL. You will be able to pop alfred earlier than you can Boris, and playing alfred again on any turn 3 or before is sweet. SAy you are agaist FFUn. YOu go Alfred,Oracal,Alfred+Commish, This way you could have 2 fizzles or a fizzle and a Utility Belt.
Boris and Alfred both serve a good purpose. I like Alfred because I at least maintain hand advantage because there is a lot of discarding in Gotham Knights.

UDE spoiled a stupid card today. Any word on when the new Batman Starter is coming out?
well with all these good one-drops maybe GK can do swarm. I know peolpe have done it before, but less use of GCPD officers. Nah, most of GK's low drops surrport to much to really swarm well.
