Rank FF's from best to worst

    Expansion has been out a while and people have settled into their new decks and stuff. So it's time to rank the full faction bg's from best to worst!

    This is obviously based on your own opinion and is susceptible to bias but I wonder if there will be a correlation/similarity between peoples lists or will they be entirely all over the place? (I predict the former, but the latter would indicate better balance)

    My list (From best--->worst)

    SP-IS---FW-UD----ST-SL-KF-FS

    There are more dashes where I believe there to be a bigger jump. For example SP/IS are fairly similar in the amazingness department.. Then there's a gap where FW/UD sit, and again a bigger gap where the others lie fairly similar.

    What do you think? Does my list suck?! Why? :)

    While playing Leoss I feel it's this

    (Just so everyone gets it and doesn't know me, my hate towards KF is out of the charts)

    FW
    ST/SP/IS
    UD/SL/KF/FS

    1. Worms is still the best deck, and the rest of FW can do unfair stuff, from Surge Spirits to attrition decks, to just having Essence Devourer.

    2. ST has Beasts in addition to strong AoE options. Not sure why SP is suddenly where it is, but goodstuff is great, with Voil and Moga picking up themes. IS has muscle and utility, as always, and can get some serious stat buffs going.

    3. I think UD's blip was a matter of the maps changing slightly and over-reaction to Avarice. The faction has damage, and can attack well, but will suffer as other decks adapt and learn to handle UD's new rushing patterns. SL has good themes and strong runes, but pays a lot for any fancy tools it gets. Salaman exist, but FS has been on the down-hill for a while now; I think this is a result not of this expansion but of larger trends in Pox that are starting to punish what used to be viable archetypes. KF has utility, and they have cheapness, especially in Magic, but as SPD breakpoints on maps have changed and ranged in general got tapped, their historic power has cooled.

    That would be my assessment of the groups. But it's really important to say this: just because the factions may be ordinarily ranked does not mean they suffer from serious imbalance; I believe that every faction can field legitimate, tier 1 decks, regardless of their differences.

    KF/SP/IS - UD/SL/FW - FS/ST

    I put KF @ #1 because I'm not a zealot.. My faction is always the best.
