road less travel is stronger then repaid in full

[lightandarkness]

repaid in full I feel like it need a buff. Maybe if ally is killed discard it and draw 2 card. As it stand road less travel seem more useful and a lot better. Your armor sandworm has 1 health left boom use road less travel. Then you can replay it. Road less travel is a lot better.

And Aeon stormcaller is stronger than Firesnake, yet they're both intended for board control

Of course, you know I'm exaggerating, but you can't compare cards exactly like that.

I don't like RIF either, but one big difference after the nerf to rlt is the cc...at 2cc, RIF might be the better choice depending on your deck. I will say that if RIF isn't buffed (or changed), it won't be in any of my decks though.

Another thing about these two cards, is that RIF technically should be stronger, considering it is a class card rather than a faction card, and technically should be stronger since it is available to fewer heroes. Like how Fireball is stronger than Special Delivery.

One is 2cc and one is 3cc.

They have different costs, different conditions, different outcomes & different class restrictions. I don't see how they can be compared.

You're on a roll today tman! You should start a thrrad about Wily Smuggler not being strictly better than Spirit Warden.

Class restrictions allow Wulven to distribute and balance abilities. RIF would be insane in Mage or Zaladar decks. It's balanced for Rogues. Sword Thief isn't strictly better than Seductress but it allows Rogues to play up tp 8 disablers or mix & match accordingly. No other class can do that.

I know it was Wulven who first stated that class cards would be better than faction/neutral cards, but they've broken that guideline already and, more importantly, flexibility is a form of power IMO.

I feel someone has been misquoted or misunderstood.

The message should have been that it's OK for a class card to be strictly better than an equivalent faction/neutral card, if that class is meant to be better at that thing. That doesn't mean they all will be. You are right that added flexibility is a form of power.

Which class card is strictly worse than an equivalent faction/neutral one?

[FDL]

You are right

Thanks GDC! I know nothing about misquoting anyone or taking statements out of contexts though.

Every human 3cc vs seductress and aldon.
Every shadow 3cc vs gargoyle and dmt.
