<br />
but yes, if the <a class="clanLink clanID_30" href="/characters/list.php?show=30">Sakrohm</a> gets a strong release (strong SoA release something like 7/7 Courage: SoA) then <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=226" class="characterLink characterID_226">Uranus</a> should be banned&amp;quot;<br />

DRs of 3 or better, SoB, KO threats, other LPD cards, round-winners who could contend with a 10 power, and last but not least, the ever popular SoA. The strategy you described worked maybe 1 out of 12 games, only against the most unfortunate draws. Good <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/game/rules.php?show=elo">ELO</a> players understood Kal's weaknesses and built decks accordingly. That was all there was to it.<br />

I'm talking about <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=226" class="characterLink characterID_226">Uranus</a>.Because as stupid as the timing was in banning <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=998" class="characterLink characterID_998">Kalindra</a>(it should have waited until the next round of cuts at least,you just dont cut off value to a card before it even gets any,but that's a topic for another day),nobody wants to say &amp;quot;let's ban <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=226" class="characterLink characterID_226">Uranus</a>&amp;quot;<br />
<br />
Because never mind that <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=226" class="characterLink characterID_226">Uranus</a> has gotten almost as many votes as Kalidnra when she was up for voting,never mind that's she's got a broken ability,never mind that most of the UR community thinks she's so broken that she has to be banned every week she's up,it's just baffling.Why is she still there in elo?The saks have enough adequate 3 stars that they wont miss her(again) and it's not like banning her is killing them,because if you know saks players and saks decks,there's always an alesiter or a nah boh to go along with <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=226" class="characterLink characterID_226">Uranus</a>.<br />
<br />
So,i end with this proposal to have <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=226" class="characterLink characterID_226">Uranus</a> banned at the start of the next <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/game/rules.php?show=elo">elo</a> season,because hey,if you dont do it now,you'll have to do it sooner or later.]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=2260252&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (Pilluminati)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=2260252&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[XxMagicianxX]]></title><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jan 2013 20:07:37 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[You&amp;rsquo;re right the oracle, I should have gone into more detail about <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=502" class="characterLink characterID_502">Robb Cr</a> &amp;ndash;he is in fact situationally overpowered.  There are times where the opponent&amp;rsquo;s ability or bonus will render him useless. Otherwise, however, he is crazy good and can affect the entire match in a negative way. That kind of power should be reserved for a 4 or 5 star. I also agree that <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=1020" class="characterLink characterID_1020">Saki</a> is a much stronger card. However, it is because of that that the <a class="clanLink clanID_38" href="/characters/list.php?show=38">All Stars</a>&amp;rsquo; wings need to be clipped.
