Bil said: As mentioned earlier, the first thing to do with daxos is to change his first skill mechanic. That would be good for both duel deck and daxos in general.As it is now his first IS counter intuitive ... In most cases the creature will debuff itself at the end of turn ... Which IS definitely disappointing in an aura-oriented build.

And it'd be far from the first time a Planeswalker was nerfed, even one that people had paid for. "I think it's fun" is not, and has never been, a good reason not to nerf something.Meanwhile, I'm still waiting to hear some more proposals on how to get the DvK event actually balanced. You want to do it solely by buffing Daxos? Okay, let's hear some proposed Daxos reworks that will let him actually stand a chance in the event.

Reduce the XP gain provided by her 3rd ability to 5 or 6, and/or make it cost 21 loyalty. Is the answer really to make Kalemne less strong? Is he too powerful? Certainly he's powerful, but I don't see evidence that he's too powerful.Changing Kalemne's deck in the event, or changing Daxos' deck in the event, or making Daxos more powerful as a PW, would all seem to be preferable.

JamesGam said: I can say without any doubt, Kal doesn't need to be nerfed. I could tell you all the reasons; but, lets not waste time. Here is the jist: Although she is powerful in her specialty (face-bashing), she is vulnerable outside of her specialty (mainly control). On the hand, I can see the point about her 1st ability perhaps being a bit on the cheaper end of things. This probably becomes more pronounced depending on which other PW you wish to compare her to. But despite all this, I still feel Kal is not as much the problem as the pre-constructed decks are for the duel decks. Kal has both the strength and control options to fend off Daxos (for the most part). Daxos has a lack of both strength and control options to recover from a strong start by Kal. P.S. And from what I hear, Daxos is a good PW (Mines still lvl1... so I can't attest to it 100%)
