    It's actually the best reason for him to be nerfed. There are certain types of cards that are okay when played by every hero. Bad santa for instance, or bazaar. Those are well balamced neutral cards that serve their own purpose, and don't really replace the other class draw engines. A powerful neutral ally however, that's a problem is it starts replacing all the class options instead. Available to all hero's means it needs to be weaker than what's available to limited hero's.

If a neutral card is stronger than every other similar card of class alignment, then why would the card in the class alignment ever be used? That's why shriek of revulsion is better than sever ties. Why yari blade dancer is stronger than puwen. When a neutral 2 drop is stronger, (and therefore the better choice) than any other 2 drop of faction OR class alignment, then none of those other cards can see play in ANY deck.

    If a neutral card is beating out yari blade dancer in a warrior deck, because the neutral card is better, then that's a problem in design. Even if masked bandit isn't over powered, he still shouldn't be the go to 2 drop for every single deck. And he can replace every other two drop, because he's a neutral card.
    It is not better than any other 2cc drop. It is just the counter to feaster. I'd rather play karash and bladedancer in my decks, because they ae miles better than bandit, but then I will just lose a certain amount of matches where I can't keep up with feaster fta. That is the only reason

    The problem is feaster not bandit.

    I don't see the issue. It's incredibly easy to deal with, and every hero has a way of doing so. Yes his stats are above curve, but not by much, and you don't even really need hard removal to deal with it as any damage source deals with it so If anything its easier to deal with than a lot of 2 drops cause you only need 1 point of damage

    Neutral op cards makes any good aligned or combo decks useless, all 625 cards should be nearly equal so you can pick from variety of choices, but now you have very restricted card pool because of op cards

    Are you talking about Undercosted (OP on paper) or Broken (OP in games)?

    I really wish those clearer terms would catch on ...

    Imagine you have to pick 2cc allies for your deck, say you have 30 different cards to choose from, but looking on stats there is no choice whatsoever, because some cards like bandit is clearly better then others so you have many cards you wish to use but u can't, because objectively they are worse.
    I just don't get why people complain about nerfing overpowered cards, leaving some cards overpowered, you just throwing away 3/4 of SE card pool this way.

    OK. You could help me see your point of view by listing all the cards you think Masked Bandit is clearer better than.

    Again....whats the point of using yari bladedancer or karash or many 2/3 2cc allies exept harbs (undead) when you face feasterling in half your games. Bandit stats are one of the few counters to feasterling.

    No. He is a pseudo 2/4. 1dmg and he goes away.
