I would like to suggest that the design team think about changing this card slightly. Right now, A Legend Rises is seeing some use, and is a pretty decent card. This card, on the other hand, I have never seen played. I'm sure you at Wulven can check the stats on the usage of this card and will see that it barely gets used.
The problem, I think, is that there are other ways to counter attachments that are more versatile than this card. Sever ties and sabre are the same cost, but they don't have the condition (at least 3 attack), and they can be used on hero attachments too. The only real upside to this card is that it strips multiple attachments--but it rarely happens that you need that. I imagine that when the set was being designed it was assumed that people would be creating multi-attachment monsters (wisp anyone?), but as it turns out that just isn't too viable. The 3 health loss could conditionally be helpful, but often it won't really matter. The card just isn't quite worth playing regularly right now.
Here is what I would like to see. I would like to see the card read, "Target opposing ally with 3 or more attack loses all beneficial attachments and has its health reduced by 3. Any attachments removed in this way do not grant any benefits upon destruction."
The "beneficial" proviso should have been there already, I think. Otherwise, often a normal sever ties is going to be better to an ally who has a negative attachment plus, say, A Legend Rises.
The second suggested change would give A Legend Rises a unique function in terms of the present sets of cards. Right now there is no way to counter Treasured Heirloom so that it doesn't give cards. This would actually make A Legend Falls a bit more useful. This may be a strong benefit against humans, but it doesn't seem too strong given that the card already has conditions that make it different from severed ties.
Alternatively, if the card stays exactly as it, it should be changed to 3cc. Otherwise it's never going to be used.
[Also apologies to the DT for starting another thread like this. I guess I like thinking about these kinds of issues even if its too late to expect any changes.]
