I am back into QM s**t and I started facing Aramias pretty much like dear old Eladwen... for stupid mage rush Aramia is even stronger and faster. Maybe too strong? It's a doubt I have since Flameforged Gauntlet was buffed, but I couldn't think about it because there weren't so many annoying Aramias around.
With 9 resources and 3SE Aramia can slap you Fireball+Fireball+Fireball+Boomerang into your face, half HPs are gone and you are usually dead unless Aramia wasn't ablt to deal you other 15 damage before them. Unlikely imho.
And if you compare her ability to Baduruu's resource acceleration, the most similar one in SE, you can't put them on the same level.
BADU's PROS:
ARAMIA's PROS:
- he can play weapons without cc restriction
- he gives +1 attack
- she can also play armors and items
- she draws 1 card
- she draws the card you want
- she spends 1 less SE
- she can cast Fireball, while Badu has Flaming Arrow
All in all, Aramia > Baduruu. If you had to choose one of them in meltdown Aramia all the way.
So I toss it in, does she need some kind of nerf instead of dealing with Confluence of Fate and Embers of Just? Maybe she was the balancing issue with Aetherborn Wisp; while now if she can start spamming fire damage with gauntlet you are 99% dead when going second and maybe not that safe even when going first.
It's not something that you couldn't do with Eladwen, and Aramia suffers Elad's bad matchups as well. But if you want to give a stupid deck to a stupid noob and let him win now you have a nice option with Aramia, even better than Amber. At least if Amber doesn't draw weapons or Blood Frenzy she's in trouble, while Aramia must draw a weapon or draw engine.
