Academy Forcemaster very much depends on whether you are a hardcore competitive player, or a someone that enjoys seeing cool stuff (Spike vs Timmy in MtG jargon). Honestly, there is very little in there that's is that good for Arena play - about 3 enchantments that are borderline inclusions, and one piece of equipment for certain builds - certainly none of the creatures. Lost Grimoire certainly adds more. That said, it does open up lots of newdirections for deckbuilding, just mostly sub-optimal ones - that matters in some circles, not in others.

Personally, I'd say Academy core is the most important for Arena in general (Crumble, Disperse and Leather Chausses alone justify it), and Tempered Faulds in Warlord are amazing. Forcemaster and Warlock are weak for Arena, and Priestess is average.

Beautiful idea, if the cards would be available.

1x Galvanize
Show me another non-holy card that can remove corrodes.

Rust
Potentially also a second set of Armor

Disarm

And I have 2 chest pieces and a Disarm in almost every book...

Which is why I didn't say a 15 dice Ludwig. It is not a consideration for Spike players, there are Timmy players who would consider it.

But they won't get more than 3?

But there's no reason to stop Timmy players doing anything...

This stops a 11 dice Ludwig and 6D ranged major creatures.

Ludwig is hardly a consideration? +Ranged doesn't affect Zone Attacks or Additional Strikes...

this is not a problem in the grand scheme of things.

For you. I'm entitled to feel differently.

But this conversation is going nowhere. We have different opinions, and that's fine.

No rule problems or none that you are aware of? Try looking at things like Attack vs Attack Action...

But yes there is a lot of doubling up with non-keyworded abilities stacking with keyworded abilities. I don't think any of the instances are game-breaking, but it's still something that shouldn't have happened on principle.

Let people do what they want to do- you think community game management is bad, then move on- there are a lot of great games released nowadays that are a lot better. Let people who enjoy the game continue on enjoying it.

You misunderstand me - I DO enjoy the game as it is now, and play regularly. However voicing my opinion is important, because fracturing teh community even further will reduce my playerbase (and thus enjoyment in future.

You are absolutely entitled to voice your support for this, as am I to do the reverse...
