A little math shows that <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=1025" class="characterLink characterID_1025">Thomy</a> is a good beginner card, and that's it.<br />
<br />
Most clan bonuses either help win rounds, or kick in when a round is won. That means Thomy's ability is redundant if there are 3* cards with round winning power equal or greater to the round winning power granted by &amp;quot;strongest&amp;quot; clan bonuses -- and there are.<br />
<br />
In mono, <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=847" class="characterLink characterID_847">Martha</a> and <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=472" class="characterLink characterID_472">John</a> have better winning power than <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=1025" class="characterLink characterID_1025">Thomy</a>, making him obsolete. Martha's +12 from her ability means she's as good as <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=1025" class="characterLink characterID_1025">Thomy</a> against <a class="clanLink clanID_3" href="/characters/list.php?show=3">Montana</a> and <a class="clanLink clanID_41" href="/characters/list.php?show=41">Rescue</a>, but a bit better than him against other clans. <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=472" class="characterLink characterID_472">John</a> makes up for <a class="clanLink clanID_3" href="/characters/list.php?show=3">Montana</a> and <a class="clanLink clanID_41" href="/characters/list.php?show=41">Rescue</a> bonus in 4 pills, and becomes significantly stronger with every consecutive pill you toss on him after that.<br />
<br />
In a half deck, Thomy's spot is much better filled by the expensive but very flexible <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=636" class="characterLink characterID_636">Melvin</a>. Throwing a few pills on <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=636" class="characterLink characterID_636">Melvin</a> is an excellent way to put your opponent into an awkward situation where you threaten a 3-round win.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=1025" class="characterLink characterID_1025">Thomy</a> does shine against <a class="clanLink clanID_4" href="/characters/list.php?show=4">Pussycats</a> and <a class="clanLink clanID_38" href="/characters/list.php?show=38">All Stars</a>... But still, he is a comparatively difficult card to use, not great in most <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/game/rules.php?show=elo">ELO</a> weeks.]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=2208628&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (ghelas)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=2208628&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[LosingSleep]]></title><pubDate>Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:49:54 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/en/presets/?id_preset=2422909" class="presetLink presetID_2422909 ">Hello Thomy</a>]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=2208628&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (LosingSleep)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=2208628&language=2]]></comments></item></channel></rss>
