I think limiting him to being played one at a time wouldn't be much of a nerf. Against decks with board resets you'd be pretty crazy to play more than one at once anyway. Max 1 per deck though, would be a real nerf (and quite fair IMO).

Related question. What happens when 2 Aeons are in play and you attack? Since they're both protectors can you attack either one? Just the last one cast?

I wasn't suggesting that he be one per deck, just one in play at a time, like Aldon

is. And yes, when two Aeons are in play you can choose to attack either one.

Considering that there WILL be Aeon

competition the devs would need to remove this "nerf" once that happens. I suggest just wait it out.

I know, I was. There's usually little point in having 2 tanks on the board at once. Maybe if one's already dying. If you have more than 1 in play at a time you're exposed to Energy Discharge

, Tidal Waves, etc. The problem with Aeon

is that as soon as you kill one, you know the next one is coming next turn (and when you kill that one, the third will drop). If you want to nerf it, the only way is to limit how many there are in the deck, otherwise there's very little point.

Aldon

is completely different. Having 2 Aldon

's in play would be horribly broken, both gaining from their own ability, play a third one and you have an unstopable army. Particularly coupled with Portal

.

I think the current problem is that Aeon

's powers are a bit TOO powerful with the current array of cards. And also that Shadow doesn't have an Aeon

equilvant. There are still pretty reasonable counters for him in most decks - mage: Burns. Wulven: Captured prey/rabid bite. Elemental: MINDCONTROL. Warrior: Crippling Blow

. Priest: Tidal Wave

. Hunter: Retreat

+ Deathtrap (if your lucky).

SO I think the upcoming update with weapons will change things a little. I'm happy with him the way he is currently - would like to see how things fan out in the near future.
