This is one of the most fun parts of the game. Thanks! I'm confused. Why is it ok to nerf a standard card but not a legacy one? All cards hit legacy eventually (usually about a year). Why does them being slightly older make them inherently immune to balancing? Oktagon announced that they would be balancing older sets when they first started. Its a little surprising we didn't get a heads up, but not that it happened.Cycling needed a nerf a year and a half ago. But Oktagon wasn't around then, and when they started they had to focus on catching the sets up to paper. The cycling nerf is fine. You should not be able to win with nothing but cycling.I find it interesting that the legacy cards that got changed are mostly not the overpowered ones (Olivia, Pig, Ulrich..ect) but were definitely still probably needed. And some cards were buffed, not nerfed! Balance!I am waiting for someone to request a refund for their money buy of Shrine, though. That would be hilarious. Don't forget about Mirrorpool getting the nerf. Wasn't that a paid card too?

It hit me when I started playing a second account. Now the only must plays are coalition events and then it’s the JtH events then daily events.

Mburn7 said: madwren said: The set looks great overall. I'm pleased. However, am I correct that there are only two cards in M19 that have Flash? Chromium and Murder?Huh. I understand wanting to slow roll a tricky new mechanic, but it really seems like we could have had a couple of others if you wanted to test the waters effectively. It's probably the same thing that they did with Leader. You only put in on a few cards to get all the bugs ironed out, and then start using it as a normal mechanic going forward.

But it doesn't need a nerf imo anyway.

Not a bad trade off, though. Where did you see this In the july sneak peak edition reward changes. Sorry, I reposted it again in the correct thread. TG got a mana rune bump and the trials got the same AI chop. I see. Although TotP never gave 25 jewels so it's still the same. To be fair AX also originally used to give 20 jewels instead of 25.@Brigby you guys should be upfront about such changes in the pre-release notes. It takes just one sentence to state the reasoning behind it. But sneaking up the changes without prior intimation causes the kind of backlash that ruins everyones day.
