Rules Discussion / Re: ERRATA - Hand of Bim-Shalla

I'm sure there was more then just one tournament that factored into this decision.
I think alot of players even at home were finding that this combo of HoBS was being used outside of the cards intentions, and it seems like it was a problem for alot of people.
The card still has a purpose, and is a good card IMO even being unique.
And in the future there might be more cards that can utilize this card to a better effect.
I know in my games, a Buddy Build Priest would use up to 6 of these and it made for some less then fun games.
And compared to some other games that are even newer then Mage Wars, this is a very small change, with very little errata and I think they are trying there hardest to keep it that way.
I doubt this was an easy decision for them, and know they donot handle errata lightly.
Point being, I respect your opinion, but I highly doubt this was due to one tournament.
They should have made it level 2. That would have reduced the number of copies in books, as well as increasing the cost to put them in for non-Holy Mages. That would have been a decent fix without gutting the card. Just seems excessive.
Although that would be better they shouldn't even have done that. This was unnecessary in the current environment. Is it because of future design considerations?
I'm with Koz on this. It decreases the games appeal for me and I rarely use HoB.
@Patrick Conner.
Errata usually comes with an explanation. Could we please have one.
