@Wise:
that might be true on low level cards
on high level cards, they are all the same
for example,
Beef against graks or
Uranus
it is same, reduced by 5. to add, you cannot do KO except your opp has 1 life left or you use fury
plus, those cards with backlash ability
even though they do have solid stats, but so far it is not too impressive
remember, you need to win in order to damage your opp
those 7/8 might be huge, but against power manipulation, attack manipulation, this card will have a hard time to win
let;s imagine, 8/8 backlash -3 life min 1 or -1 pillz min 1
let's compare it with
Kuei or
Kerozinn Cr
Kuei and
Kerozinn Cr has less damage or it would be almost equal in term of 2 hit KO potential
however, while
Kuei and
Kerozinn Cr got ability, those 8/8 got backlash
Q: but those 8/8 is a good finisher!
A: yes, however,
Kuei and kerozinn also have that potential and will have easier time to win due to their ability
Q: backlash can be nullified if against SOA
A: yes, they win on that department, but looking at those SOA clan,
Roots have solid power and good DR,
GHEIST got
Toro, and
Rolph,
Draheera,
Wardom, etc that could fight against him
the flaw with backlash is, even if you have 8 power, it is not something amazing especially for
Berzerk high level cards (where you got nothing to help you)
I have no objection about their low level cards though.. as long as without backlash or with backlash but with OP stats (for example 8/5 -1 pillz min 0 at level 3)
