Any news regarding whether these cards will be looked into and what is being planned?
Not a regular here at the forums, though some may know my solo
Darkclaw,
Gwenneth and
Nishaven decks that have achieved mediocre to good results. Perhaps I am much to be blamed for possible changes coming to some of these cards, so thought I could leave some input.
The fundamental advantage for a solo deck is that opponent's anti-ally cards are empty draws. The heavy disadvantage, however, is that eventually the opponent will have ultimate board control. In most matches a solo deck has no other option than to rely on cards like
Rain Delay. In addition there are class specific cards, for example
Full Moon and
Holy Shield. The mages have Voice of Vinter to slow down opponent's allies.
I can well understand the reason for banning In to the Forest (the hidden status, making the card almost untouchable, was the problem) but do these other suggested cards have the same issue?
Voice of Winter can be destroyed by item destruction cards.
Rain Delay and
Full Moon are openly targettable and will go away by any ability removal card. The list of such cards include:
Change of Fortune (neutral ability)
Shrine of Negatia (human ability)
Sayemeht's Retribution (human ability)
Shriek of Revulsion (shadow ability)
Shriek of Vengeance (shadow ability)
Focused Prayer (priest ability)
Sorcerer of Endia (human ally)
Twilight Ritualist (human ally)
Eriss Fatewearer (human ally)
Rapacious Vermin (shadow ally)
Thriss Demolitionist (shadow ally)
Winged Redeemer (neutral ally)
Tar Adun (hero ability)
Loest (hero ability)
Quite many options really, and something available to every class (even in terms of instant abilities).
My fear is, that if
Rain Delay,
Full Moon, Holy Shiled and Voice of Winter are altered heavily, then the deck diversity of Shadow Era will take a blow. Solo decks (
Darkclaw,
Gwenneth,
Threbin, solo mages...) would no longer remain feasible and the only deck type left would be ally decks fighting over board control. Perhaps this is intentional and desired goal, but if not, please consider before making the changes.
