40enThu, 27 Sep 2012 17:50:03 GMTThu, 27 Sep 2012 17:50:03 GMTBaldovino and someone like Esmeralda or Akendram. Why not just open with them?

If your opponent underpills, you land poison at low cost, yay!
If your opponent overpills a bit, now Baldovino starts looking really intimidating...]]>Thu, 27 Sep 2012 17:17:44 GMT Bloodh solves the weakness (Main one) of losing to cards like Azel , losing the game .
And with the pillz you keep on reducing , makes it an easier win.]]>Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:40:40 GMTBloodh on his own looks great on paper. One problem though, he doesn't work very well with the rest of his clan. Piranas are all about pillz manip, that is why Bloodh is, in many decks, passed up in favor of Selma, Dalhia, or even Ahkab in ELO.]]>Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:52:26 GMTBaldovino it would get pretty bad. i personally 5*s are not the way to go for Freaks because of poison.

btw dalhia and Ahkab gets so overrated its not even funny. i dont get why people dont use Bloodh... his damage is so good. he has helped me out in so many matchups...]]>Thu, 27 Sep 2012 01:10:22 GMTBaldovino is great in that because of his damage, he doesn't have to hit first turn. If your opponent overpills in round 1 to beat you, Baldovino punishes him hard for it.

I agree that Serena is not a great card compared to other Ulu 5*s. It's hard to say if she's overrated, though -- I seldom see her.]]>Thu, 27 Sep 2012 00:18:50 GMTELO Baldovino gets the full extent of his bonus.

In my opinion many of the high star Ulu Watu are amazing but the lower star cards aren't quite as great meaning that in most modes other than T2 Ulu Watu is not easy to play with.

I personally think that many of the 5* cards in Piranas are overrated. Despite having similar, or the same, stats and/or abilities as a number of cards in other clans the 5*s seem, for the most part, consistently priced far above what the average cost for 5*s in other clans are. Sure, the many of the 5* cards for Piranas are amazing but not to where they cost almost, or over, 20k on average. Perhaps it's just because the market manipulators decided that Piranas were the easiest clan to manipulate in terms of 5* prices but some of the prices are ridiculous. Lizbeth is definitely not worth 70k. She looks like another case of Cortez price economics.]]>Wed, 26 Sep 2012 23:28:03 GMTSerena is a fairly overrated 5*. 10/6 is pretty bad for a 5 star considering it only has protection of bonus... kinda useless. its solid yes but Ulu Watu has many other choices, namely Stanly and Oraya. heck, even hikoyousan / Lulabee is better.]]>Wed, 26 Sep 2012 23:22:41 GMTBaldovino gets a little bit redundant with its bonus? theres only room for 5 damage of bonus...
i think Grudj is the one that is underrated. trades in 2 damage for 1*, which is great.]]>Wed, 26 Sep 2012 18:08:18 GMTBaldovino if I can't use Bogdan or Olga but that's all subjective to the meta.]]>Wed, 26 Sep 2012 15:15:50 GMTBaldovino is underrated, if anything. I prefer Freaks 8 powers with pill manip to Bogdan.]]>Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:01:51 GMTBaldovino is one of the best 5*s in the game imo. If you understand how pill manipulation works you can compensate for the atk/pwr manip and overpill getting in the poison and the pill reduction, making up for the overpilling you had to do. Now it might only negate the disadvantage you'd get against atk/pwr manip but atk/pwr manip is not going to kill you if you know how to play around it.]]>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:44:14 GMTBaldovino is not even that great honestly and hence not seeing that much use in elo. 8 power is weak when attack/power manipulation clans are running rampant.]]>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 14:44:31 GMTELO that 7 damage + poison would make the game 2nd turn before the release of Baldovino.]]>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:26:38 GMTX-0DUS?

anyway Arkn is actually a very good card if you have ever used him you will know how handy that -10 attack comes in (mostly because it takes opponent's 7 power card 2 pillz to beat him) and 4 damage is very threatening. but yah i dont think elo ban is necessary. Z3r0 D34d isnt THAT great i mean you dont really want to spend pillz on 2 star cards anyway.

oh lol i remember cassendra used to be SO overrated. its not even CLOSE to being as good as Dorian. just cuz they have the same stats it doesnt mean it compensates for cassendra 's stupidly useless bonus (7 damage contradicts with poison).]]>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 06:00:07 GMT
But honestly, price of Praxie is not easily explained.]]>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 05:12:04 GMTDagg is about as good X-0DUS since X-0DUS is courage based. and also soa can be from another clan if you run a half deck as well.
Melvin is.... a good card slightly overrated. its the only major dr in his clan and dr+ attack manipulation can get quite annoying at times.
Lizbeth.. yah overrated as hell.
and with your point on Skeelz.. YES YOU ARE RIGHT. but Jay is overrated though not only is it revenge based but 7 power isnt that attractive. yah Praxie sux NEVER USE IT rather use Danae.
although Cortez is strong against soa, without soa he is simply 8/6 (without bonus) not as good as Nahema.]]>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 03:12:39 GMTPraxie is very overrated. Skeelz need cards that either
A. Force you to use alot of pillz to beat it. eg: Falkenstein, Sasha, Sandro, chiara
B. Force you to either pill to beat or lose alot of life/ get hit with a nasty ability...eg: Jay/Greem/Snowflake
This is why cards like Tomas and Praxie don't fit into the clan....they require too many pillz to get an average amount of dmg in
The only time Praxie is totally better is vs a mono DR deck...and even then he has to pill to be good

X-0DUS is a necessity to his clan...Dagg is no where near as good as him...he forces pillz whilst stopping your annoying ability

Melvin is overated to hell...I never use him! I prefer the other 3* available to Sentinel

Hriger is only currently expensive due to his crappy missions in new blood.

But if you want overrated check out Lizbeth....that is overrated]]>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 02:50:29 GMTNahema is in a clan with better 5* and keels over to SoA.

Cortez is in a clan where his only other major competition is Lizzy and Taylor, who are both quite average. Also, he gets better against SoA.

honestly, price doesnt mean being overrated. it just means some sly people decided to mess with the card.]]>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 02:43:08 GMTSnowflake wasn't a threat, but that you you weren't giving Praxie enough credit. He sits in the top for my Skeelz choice, because he is stable.

Cortez is ridiculous, he is an 8/8, and the only one that isn't ELO banned. He is also rare, Nahema is common. The market price isn't about how awesome a card is, though it helps.

Judging the hype about a card based on market price isn't fair to the card, there are a few factors. Does it have a related mission? Does it have a good ability? Does it have good stats? How common is the card?]]>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 02:12:01 GMT


I think X-0 is overpriced, but not overrated. His most valuable contribution is being a heavy hit that you can't use ability DR on. That combined with his clan's pill recovery makes him a deadly opener -- you can't just ignore him, but if you pill too hard and he turns out to have been a bluff, you're in big trouble.

I think Arkn is overrated. He is in almost every way worse than Z3r0 D34d, and I can't for the life of me figure out why he's banned... Especially now that Draheera is gone, and there is less reason to run mono GHEIST.

I also think Bogdan is overrated. His high power and SoA just seem to scare people a bit, but let's face it... Unassisted 8 power is not impossible to beat. I think that Grudj, Olga, and even Baldovino are harder cards to deal with, because they can secure a 1st round win without handing your opponent a large pill advantage. Bogdan is just a shot in the dark that you have to hope your opponent doesn't read.]]>
