[Card ban idea] List

So, one question...

What have you guys been smoking?

As said above, it's okay to have good cards.

Is it April Fool's Day yet ?!?

Then first of all please Unban :

- Anthelios
- Protect Thine Own (errata : only once per Methuselah)

IDK how to feel about this.

On the one hand, I would like to see VTES redone and rebooted, etc. etc. Most people here know this. *Looks at Kraus.*

But on the other hand, are these cards really ban worthy? I think the problem isn't with these cards in particular, but with the power-level they represent and how the game/cards have been powered down since these were first printed.

Which IMO is a reason the game itself tends to be 2 hours. If the power-level of cards/effects were increased, then the game would probably speed up. Of course, that means obsoleting / wall-papering so many cards. But it also potentially means cool new effects and designs and I think VEKN/Black Chantry is demonstrating this. The recent Lost Kindred set, which was deliberately designed to power-up the Harbingers, Gargoyles, Samedi, etc. The greatest equalizer would be a reboot, but barring that, I'd rather see stronger cards printed to raise the power-level of weak disciplines (as opposed to banning good cards.)

Yep, I totally agree with LivesByProxy : I too would rather see stronger cards printed to raise the power-level of weak disciplines (as opposed to banning good cards.)

I'm honestly surprised by voices to increase power level of weaker cards instead of toning down power of top tier cards. In most games, it made the game worse and worse, and wallpaperized multiple contemporary cards, lets just start with WoW TCG. If anything, banning powerful cards is the better way to make the game more interactive.

Out of unique cards that need to be addressed, the card that matter the most is of course PENTEX.

A statement with which i could not disagree more.

Pentex is absolutely healthy for the game.

I do not know your reasoning, but some seem to think pentex is a random and arbitrary card. It is actually very skill intensive and requires plenty of skill to get benefit out of. Also skill in defending against it.

In competitive vtes pentex is in no way problematic, but rather essential.

If you hate arbitrary, look at Giants blood. It is probably the only weirdly random power card.

I'll see if i get more time sometime to write more about this.
