Do losses on offense even matter, or is it about being beaten on defense? Lastly, how many losses are we talking about, before I see a positive effect?

Can't really win with a tank team maybe before I get any points in this tourny I will run through my entire roster and lose.

Got hit a ruck of times. Find the best (i.e. easiest) match in your MMR list, boost if you have to. Worth it, if you don't want to grind through lots of high level IMs and other 3*s.

Mines 141 too ;P hmm, I was planning on waiting till the LR's to tank but I guess every hit counts huh? I have been stuck in MMR hell for a while now.

Played a few games on the train home and didn't see any 141 IM's and mainly 2* opposition lol.

Yep, was broken like hell really. I don't know if it was *that* broken. It did give me pre-nerf-Ragnarok flashbacks in terms of fun green generation but it's not like Oasis only cost 2 red AP. I was firing it off fairly frequently but then I was using Modern Storm for a lot of the tournament to harvest the environmental tiles. People not playing Modern Storm probably had to actually use moves to match environmental tiles to really abuse the effects. Those are turns they didn't use gathering useful AP or match-damaging their opponents. Given the opportunity cost of gathering desert AP, I don't' think the effect were really that overpowered.
