ERRATA - Hand of Bim-Shalla

(1/3) > >>

patrickconnor:


Hand of Bim-Shalla:

This spell now has the “Unique” trait. Unique – Each player may only have one (1) copy of this object in play at a time.

Koz:
The real power of the Hands were it's ability to stack.  Now...meh.

Do not like.   >:(

Overreaction to the results of a single tournament IMO.  This puts a bad taste in my mouth for this game honestly.

DarthDadaD20:
I am sorry to hear that Koz.

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.

Do you have these replacements available at higher resolution? I've got a good printer and would like to make my semi-official replacement proxies look good, not pixelated.

Edit: Yes, they're linked in higher resolution from the blog post:

I'm not really in a position to judge game balance, but this seems awfully early for such a strong nerf indeed...

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.
