Assasination

[Fristar]

This card is wrong.

The name of the card is assasination and yet there is no requirement of stealth or of being a rouge ally to do it.
This does need to be changed.
A human non rougue ally of cost 1 killing any cost ally is crap.
It needs a requirement that the ally be stealth or something to activate the assisanation ability.

Are you going to complain about every card that made you lose a game? XD

^This. Seriously dude, this is practically all you ever do on this forum. It gets annoying really quickly when every thread from you is "Change this", "Change that", "This thing is broken", etc. You gotta learn to play around cards like Assassination, Mind Control, Tidal Wave, etc. They are part of the game that you have to deal with, you can't just be all like "I lost because of this card, that means they need to change it". Seriously, you're gonna wind up complaining about Urgent Business someday at the rate you're going.

Wow relax dude. You are taking this a little to personally.
Read what I said, not that I lost to it.
If all your going to do is never provide your opinion but non constructive yes man comments just ignore my posts.

It is off balance when any non rouge ally card used by a rouge hero to Assisinate a higher card. Resource 1 human ally assisanates resource 7 level ally.
If u like what it does change the name to free kill. Thought we had themes etc in this game though.

So is the issue the name of the card or the balance? I'll agree that if considering solely the lore of the game then perhaps the card mechanic/name digresses from a rogue theme. Who knows, maybe we'll find out eventually that Lance Shadowstalker trained Birgitte Skullborn or Ascetic of Aldmor on the weekends to be part time assassins?

But technically speaking: ANY Human Hero can have ANY Ally kill ANY cost opposing Ally as well. The card is called The Bigger They Are... not saying it's anywhere near as used as Assassination - just saying it's out there and does pretty much the same thing; your ally can even be frozen/disabled. Coming to think of it the card art kinda looks like a wizard with a staff. Is it actually the ally doing the killing or is it more like a spell?You know, those surrounding circumstances make it sound like a Mage Ability though no? In any case, Boris can still use it if he has a grunt on the board.....hmmm...maybe they could rename it... but then they might also have to rename The Harder They Fall...

Assassination is fine as is imo.

The card is not fine.
It is a rouge ability that requires a rouge hero to use it yet you can use it with a non-rogue ally. It should only be used with rouge allies otherwise its just wrong.

the ally gets exhausted so no issue

plus no errata so doesn't matter if it's balanced or broken

Funny fristar is using his time to state his opinion in a forum made for just that. And you people feel the need to attack him for it. Why don't you guys go find something more constructive to do?

Well Bigger they are/Harder they fall in combination with 1 cc ally can kill any ally as well, but they carry different set of restrictions. The 1cc discount of Assasination is justified considering it is a class card. It is also justified compared to Banish and Transmog Curse that have much less restrictions at only 1cc more.

In terms of usage pre SF the card has fallen out a favor a bit considering there are better tempo options nowdays.
