Actually, the only thing the
Freaks really need right now is a very solid 2*, along the likes of
Lehane and
Spiaghi. I tried them out and their cards are actually very solid in
ELO, as much as any other clan. Thing is,
Freaks can't function without
Baldovino,
Olga, and
Bogdan, and the 2* are not very good IMO. The best
Freaks 2* is
Esmeralda or
Harleen and they're merely copies of good cards from other clans (
Miken Moose,
Phyllis). However, Freaks' bonus does not force pilling, provide strategical leverage, etc., unless it's a solid card that poses a threat to win (which neither
Esmeralda or
Harleen can do). As
Freaks have enough powerhouses, they could really be saved with a
Spiaghi copy. One card is sometimes the difference between a terrible and dominant clan (the ban on
Kolos reduced
Nightmare to nothing, until
Ghumbo stepped in to save the day... and
Sentinel would actually make a comeback if
Hawk came back).
Back to topic, it depends on the clan I'm playing. When I'm
GHEIST, I really loathe
All Stars. When I'm
Nightmare, I'm on the King of the World with
Ghumbo and
Oshitsune, so I don't really care what I face, etc. etc.
