Boo hiss to the Watershed Anchor double nerf. Also what happened with the Snaptooth Ancient? Did he get a manual cost modifier?
So, highlighted: Watershed anchor got hit, increased cost and no water, I think it may be too harsh. Boghopper dredger got +3 nora and was also hit by the change above. Darkmarsh outlaw got -3 nora and it's becoming better with every patch, multi 1 and absorb build at 83 nora or absorb + surge at 80 look like the way to go. Psychic conundrun at 35 is worth a try I guess. Tortun land cannon at 45 is good Collective ambassador at 72 (-1 nora cost) is a good option for meta play in goodstuff with cleansing aura (witches) Lagoon buff is fine I think. Ctharia looks super solid
Yeah, we just need to get Preordained and +5 nora on The Collective to make Collective decks a thing. Hopefully with something to make it so The Collective can't be used in splits.
Boo! Boo! Yay! Yay! Apathy! Apathy! ----------------- Well, that sums up my feelings on the FS portion of our patch.
I liked Global Encourage, would have been better to reduce the cost of the ability than remove it IMO.
I think they should have given Princess Ctharia another unique ability, considering she IS legendary. Maybe not something like her old one but....HEY....shes cheaper now at least. Sad that i'll only be using her for water gen now. EWW
i know >.< haha, i mean, the damage increase and all is crazy good when my arcanist are blasting fools bunching together, but a LEG rune should feel special. Like how darkmarsh outlaw has his brand ability and all that jazz. Like she is a princess, should have more BAM. She's strong but not in a way that makes people go O.O....haha might sound a tad whiny, but hey!....Lost queen has regal and she's a rare...
Would you still believe that if the alternative was a cost reduction to the ability? Say -3 nora or something? Or maybe if the ability was switched to give actual global Encourage and have the Mirefolk gain the crappy Impervious portion? I can see some of the arguments for why she's better without it compared to what was there, but removal wasn't the only option. *shrug* Just some things to think about.
The only thing that really bothers me about is the removal of Water Front on the Relic. I thought that supplied a good bit of utility and helped further allow our Aquatics to be "splashed" into other decks, but I do think the cost adjustment is actually fairly justified.
Yeah, I am less concerned over the cost adjustement than the removal of water front. I liked that semi-aquatics had multiple options for water generation relics. I guess I am going to have to add in another Circadian Vault or actually use tidemaster's bandoleer now.
Due to Regal Prescence and Water Front, Ctharia is one of those champs you want to get out early. Mirefolk Fealty made her a late game deploy or you ended up wasting however much nora. Water gen is going to be reduced in future so prepare for it :/
