I couldn't find one of these anywhere on the forum so I thought I'd start one. There's are so many threads with so much discussion about how unhealthy BSZ is for the game, or how fun it is to play with, that some actual numbers might be useful.

    Simple nerf:  Cap stored mana at 6.

    It keeps it powerful and loopy but not overpowered and infinitely loopy

    .. But raise the normal cost to ten, so keeping the same mana overall.

    Do we really need - another- thread griping about this card?

    I alternate between the two things. BSZ ruining the competitive game, and the new mastery system being unfair.
    Gotcha!  :D

    Until the devs finally manage to at least show a reaction.. Yep. And even if it doesn't lead to a nerf, it might make them more careful in the future

    Honestly, the AI is terrible at using it anyway.

    It actually works as written and doesn't cause soft-locks, leave it alone.

    You mean gripe and gripe until you get your way? I'd thought that beneath you. .

    A reaction. Not necessarily the one I want. But that's the way of communication the devs seem to prefer - if there's not a lot of noise, there's no chance they get involved in any way. For some reason they want their players upset.
    I'm also done being productive over here thanks to the ridiculous decisions regarding the player level nonsense and the loop thingy.
    I like a competitive game, others just like winning with as little challenge as possible.
    The devs seem to be on your side anyway, making cards like bsz, lobotomizing Greg and beating that poor boy up furtherly and adding a system only preventing the AI from looping instead of balancing their game properly.

    Except for when the LPS overlay pops up because of BSZ and causes a soft-lock.

    Better than sitting around saying nothing about a very obviously broken card that needs to be altered to reduce it's power and it's skew on the color pie. If nothing is said now about this card, even if it's not changed, it will lead to them adding additional cards with newer sets that are just as broken, if not worse.

    It's called speaking up for change and shoving your head in the sand; or worse, defending the prevention of change, is infinitely worse in this regard.
