I will make time to read this at some point if people keep bumping it.

Maybe move the original post to the 2nd post, and give an abridged version in the first post?

It's not a bad read.

TL;DR - I don't agree with sooth

Calmdown: one point you made is some decks should have autolose conditions.

Then why does boris not autolose against ANY deck? This alone implies he is over powered up the wazoo. Which makes your buff of his already strong ability even stronger.

And do not try quoting jericho. Raphael has been testing it, jericho does NOT win when going second. Practically ever.

Glad to hear Raph is being open about his Boris testing. He's one of, if not *the* best player and deck builder in this game. He's certainly one of the better contributors in this forum. I'll respect any conclusions he gives us about Boris. Hopefully Calmdown does too.

I've read it now, so you can quit bumping it.

My thoughts: this could be the makings of contest-winning article! I like the discussion of win strategies and who has what counter. These are the basics that all serious players should be aware of.

I could build a Boris deck that autoloses to Jericho if I wanted to. Calmdown's point is that is not a competitive build.

On the other hand, I'd contend that decks that guarantee 50% or better against all comers are probably overpowered. Although there isn't a theoretical limit to such decks, there is a realistic one, and that means a small number of effective heroes.
