I can see the reasoning for helping Victor behind the design of the card for those extremley annoying allies. However, if you play it out right, you should still have some other opportunity to kill
Sandworm and
Dakrath.
For myself, I am trying to find a way that we can allow for it to be recycled by Victor without being too strong.
Also, i feel it gives the other Hunters too much value as well in regards to what there bad match ups should be.
While this kills the original intention of the card, aimed at Victor, I think it balances the card as a whole for the class while allowing you to recycle it for the draw.
The draw is what Victor lacks at this time. His main sources are Wrath of the Forrest and
Tainted Oracle with Gambit being a one time usage. While the ally death was always great to have guaranteed after ability usage, 90-95% of the cases you will be able to kill the ally after you target it with your ability anyhow. Maybe Dakrath,
Sandworm and Fortified will still be a pain to get rid of but heck, they are supposed to be a pain in the butt.
Tome of Blessings is a card that may see more play in future with new releases. However, it actually screws all classes other than Wulven and Rogues with their access to cheap removal anyway. He can still bring that ally down to 1 health and that is more than most others can do.
I believe that Victory can still find a way to deal 3 damage to an ally after bringing it down to 1.
