Okay. If people are afraid of other cards, then we could add. "if you don't controll the edge, burn pool/blood.

Good modification. With that, I like it.

Ashur Tablets is much to strong - was there any playtesting at all of that card? Did the playtesters know about Liquidation? Did we need more cards to abuse with Anthelios?

All good ash heap manipulation should be necromancy. All good library manipulation should be VERY hard to pull off.

Actually we don't need

But ashur could be balanced just making it to retrieve minion cards (and not also master cards)
Minimal text change for an overall balance reword

A rather good idea actually.

Especially since necromancy doesn't have that good ash heap manipulation.

Interesting observartion. If you don´t count that Diary-thing.

I kind of like the idea of Ashurs though, it just sucks that I can't play them in any deck because I don't want to play TWDA +MPA decks.

I´m with you. The game should promote many different decks being viable for tournament play - now it kind of slides towards a handful of archetypes, most containing multiple MPA-stuff. Sad.

I'm a bit surprised. Ashur works great in decks without multiple MPA. I play 6 of them in a thin Gangrel deck (with little master), it works like a charm.
It is as wrong as saying you are obliged to play presence in a vote deck because Voter Captivation is great.
