Banish is OP

[drsilver]

I've been playing shadow era for two and a half years. The Dark Prophecies is awesome and I pre-order the physical cards as well.

But I noticed that somehow the new card Banish is really OP on the test server. Priest is already immune from attachment, now put an 5cc like Aeon or Ogloth on board against Priest is just like a joke. Banish is way stronger than Retreat! or Assassination. Retreat! technically increases opponent's hand, Assassination requires an healthy ally on board (Assassination just like a stronger extra sharp). But Banish is even stronger then MC for me since it put the card in deck rather than graveyard. So Gravebone and SK can do nothing about it. With 4 Banish and 4 Tidal Wave, Wulven and Rogue etc. can NEVER get the board control.

Banish is really OP, but I don't want to weaken Banish that much, so those are my suggestions.

Banish, 5cc, Target ally is shuffled into its owner's deck
Banish, 3cc, Target ally is shuffled into its owner's deck, and you discard a card from your hand.

Also, I know that A Legend Rises used to be +2 attack, but now +1 attack is really too weak. My opinion is +1 attack and +3 health (like Elementalis), or +2 attack but no increase health.

I am sure that some other people could have better idea to modify this card. Maybe some Priest players will dislike my post but I am just telling the truth, and I like Priest too.

stronger than MC ? come on.

way stronger than retreat or assassination ? It'd better be, at 5cc against 2 or 3cc.

Its a good card, but you have to also assess it in context. If steadfast is heavily played, banish may not be so good. We have to wait and see

It's a one for one that some allies are immune to. It is good removal but far from OP.

If Banish is OP, MC should be banned..

What i am saying is, Banish is too strong as a 4cc card. It will be totally fine if its 5cc.

I think its a very good card but 5cc would be to much.

It's really not OP though.


I mean as a 5cc it would just be terrible and as a 3cc it would probably be too powerful unless it provides something like a cantrip to the opponent... nah I think it would still be too powerful.


It's a 1 for 1. I think 4cc is about right.

It's a 1 for 1 that doesn't even kill. Any deck with enough card draw (which should be all of them) will be able to get the card again eventually. I don't think it would even be that OP at 3cc, although shuffling into deck is a lot stronger than Retreat's bounce to hand.

And here I sat thinking that this card was too expensive to add to my priest deck. It's difficult to do a combo move until late in the game. I thought retreat was better than this card because I can use retreat plus cast a Jas on turn 5. Casting banish on turn 5,6,7 probably means I'm not casting anything else, I'm just delaying my opponent and hoping he doesn't have another ally.

I'm going to have to think about this card more carefully... I now realize this card is more like an anti draw card... if you draw aeon and I banish and you draw aeon again, I just denied you a turn and a card... interesting...
