@Oktagon_Support what exactly are the criteria for being deemed worthy?

The fountain support states it will reinforce based on amount of historic cards, but at what point have you reinforced enough?

Persil

It's a shame to witness another great (really great!) event idea, being destroyed by unbalance.

To start with good: I really like the restriction to mono PWs. This feels fresh, made my use PWs which I never use. Also, being restricted to Standard, it feels like cards are scarce and you need to think. Good, I want more of this, please.

But event supports are broken! Even mono PWs have powerful and cheap abilities which often break the game. Why to put this further with adding bonuses for using abilities?

If the enemy gets a cascade, this mechanics says "if you're lucky, we'll make you even more lucky". Many people complained about game being too random (and many quited because of this). Instead of trying to make it more balanced, the devs put ever more emphasis on randomness.

Even worse, one of the bonuses is hexproof (!) and prevent damage (!!) to all your creatures and PW (!!!)

Example: I started the game, no good matches. Then, in 1st round, the enemy got a cascade, getting 31 mana and 12 loyalty. 2nd round, he used ability, got hexproof, prevent damage for him and all three creatures. Game over.

Happened to me already in two games.
