People have issues with cards being too powerful because they drastically change the meta during PVP event. Always having to be prepared for an overpowerd card really does take the fun out of a match. but maybe instead of Nerfing the card is there a way to institute a Banned card list for PVP events? Barral is a great card for beating many of the very tough PvE challenges. So is there a way to restrict cards during PvP events?

    Not a bad suggustion but I imagine a lot of those who purchased baral would still be unhappy, Only real way out of this situation seems to be to stop matchmaking from playing against baral decks. Of course we never here from the dev's so who knows?!

    Actually we have and a change to the card is incoming. They're just trying to figure out exactly what to change it to.

    Suggesting a ban list is the start of a slippery slope I don't want to see. Personally I hate playing against Hixus. Does that get banned? How about Olivia or Starfield. Those are powerful. Do they get banned?

    They really just need an R&D team to analyze cards before designs are finalized and released into the game.

    Suggesting the issue is because it "changes the meta" is slightly inaccurate. Much of the problem isn't because Baral is powerful, but because Baral creates ongoing loops that decrease player interaction and are quite tedious to experience/sit through.
