Poll on Banning Pentex Subversion (or not ..)

I have opened up a poll on my blog (extrala.blogspot.com) regarding the the question if Pentex Subversion should be banned or not. This is with regards to the ongoing discussion in the VtES Usenet newsgroup .

Here are the results of the poll if the readers of the blog would like to see Pentex Subversion banned from VtES tournament play. 241 readers of the blog have voted in this poll:

• Yes, the sooner, the better. -- 24 (9%)
• No, but change the card text. -- 14 (5%)
• No, the card is fine. -- 187 (77%)
• I don't really care. -- 16 (6%)

I personally found it hard to answer, since what I wanted to vote for was:

"If you feel it needs errata, then just ban it instead"

It's largely down to playgroup. Pentex Subversion, much like Paths, should be destroyed by the table at large. They dominate in groups that are insular ("It's not affecting me directly, so I won't do anything about it"), hence, the lopsided view I think it has.

I personally think it's fine, and at worst could do with a mild errata.

It should be removeable by the vampire it is played on as only action he can take so long as Pentex is on him.

Petex is ok for me.
And I'm against any errata to any card by now becouse will be annoying to play with a tablet at hand to chec every card played for his rullings and errata.
To be honest, now that we will not get any no new cards I would like to see some cards unbanned. If some car will have any errata, that must be so that we can play them again:

• Dramatic Upheaval (V:TES)
• Edge Explosion (NoR)
• Kindred Restructure (V:TES)
• Madness of the Bard (Dark Sovereigns)
• Memories of Mortality (Ancient Hearts)
• Protect Thine Own (Ancient Hearts)
• The Return to Innocence (Ancient Hearts)
• Succubus Club (V:TES)

I don't play Magic just becouse I don't like to see cards banned every time that someone discover one utility for that.
Is like: "Hey We made that to be a junk, only to sell more boosters. You can't discover how to use this. Players heve no rights to be smart. They must only spend money with cards!!!"
