Borg, I just wanted to say that I very much like your point on the 7-dice target amount. 7 Dice is the tipping point in a lot of situations and I've been mulling that over a lot recently. Thanks for the food for thought!
My pleasure, Puddnhead.
Thanks for sharing your thought.
Bear with bear stregnth, divine might, and eagle wings would be decent vs the eyes i think.
A B-52 loaded with nukes should do it too.
You're talking here about a Full Cast and three Quick Casts for a total of 33 mana and at least 9 sbps to take on a 6 mana , 2 sbp card lol.
But even then, I would like to see you take that approach though and see how it works out, just don't blame me if he's put to sleep right before he can hit anything
There's some counterplay to Mind's Eye that I think people are overlooking--getting in close so that the Mind's Eye itself was a wasted action. Now, that means you'd have to be capable of running your book at that range. I wonder if we will see an increase in more aggressive playstyles because of Mind's Eye.
I can only speak for myself here but I see a significant change in bookbuilding taking place at this moment.
The early years were dominated by Solo Mages, Tanks, Buddy or few buddy builds but my gut feeling tells me that was never the way the game was supposed to be played. ( by the designer ) Want proof ? Think back on how many creatures are in the core box ( more than 50% of all cards ? ) and yet so few of them saw gameplay. Swarm books in general were not successful.
We have a lot more cards at our disposal now to neutralise one or a few creatures strategies.
To be successful today, you need a small army in support imo or a way to deal damage consistently without creatures. It's still possible to go with fewer creatures but those creatures better do a lot of damage then cfr Titanodon.
It's my belief this is how the designer originally envisioned the game to be played.
