40enWed, 26 Dec 2012 04:49:44 GMTWed, 26 Dec 2012 04:49:44 GMTSpyke definitely deserves the ban, any card that people build a deck around (Spyke Askai kalinda Beeboy ect ect..) doesn't need to be in ELO , he is quite easily a game changer with his ability, simply being in your hand opponents are likely to over pill vs his looming threat, and even vs soa hes a solid 7 power.]]>Tue, 25 Dec 2012 03:41:16 GMTTue, 25 Dec 2012 03:33:02 GMTOjibway > Lou... no one???

Did you seriously just say that? Go back, look at the card, and then look at the permaban list.]]>Mon, 24 Dec 2012 20:10:14 GMTYookie is permban Roots will be no more a defensive clan but an attak manip one...kinda sad.]]>Mon, 24 Dec 2012 19:02:28 GMTJeena, Yookie, Arno...)

But 2 of the three got banned, so I don't know how much longer they can hide behind that excuse.]]>Mon, 24 Dec 2012 17:11:32 GMT I suspect the reason Lou is still banned is because of all the +life cards that have been showing up in Roots lately which still makes her dmg danherous even though the ELO life is now set to 14. This coupled with the fact that decks like a Roots-Jungo Hybrid would switch to Lou when Askai is banned probably is what's keeping her perma-banned in my opinion.]]>Mon, 24 Dec 2012 12:12:26 GMTRoots have better supporting cards then GHEIST, therefore Lou is more dangerous then XU52 - simple concept. But yes, as Frowns stated, her synergy is fantastic with her respective clan.]]>Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:27:29 GMTELO record (mid 1300s) with mono Berzerk during the time when Spyke was allowed and to be honest, I felt kinda bad when I won a game by turning the match around with Spyke. The fact that UR would combine -4 opp power min 4 with stats like 7/5 baffles me.

Some people have asked about Lou. I believe the reason she was banned was her synergy with the many good 4 damage cards in Roots in the days when ELO still had 12 life instead of 14.]]>Sun, 23 Dec 2012 04:01:21 GMTSun, 23 Dec 2012 00:45:52 GMTELO into chaos

Remember that Nellie gains an advantage of 1 power, due to her min. So it's more accurate to say that she's about as good as Spyke AS LONG AS she's not fighting SoB, SoA, attack manip, or high power.]]>Sat, 22 Dec 2012 19:47:04 GMTNellie is not weak necessarily to SoB. She's still a dangerous power manip even then, and SoA still means she'll force extra pills because of the bonus. Not to be underestimated like any other card. And I agree, Bezerk are still playable, they're just not very popular at the moment because most people focus on the sole fact that they actually have to use some strategy to win with that clan now that Spyke is gone.]]>Sat, 22 Dec 2012 14:40:54 GMTNellie is weak to both SoA AND SoB.

look back to my original post if Spyke should be considered being unbanned then SOSHOULD A LOT OF CARDS.
point is he is not the first to be considered getting unbanned, and as people are saying berserk can still make a doable half deck.]]>Sat, 22 Dec 2012 09:11:44 GMTNellie is good, no arguments there.

One key difference between the two cards straight up is that Spyke is FAR less bonus reliant than Nellie is. The 'mathematical combat advantage' only applies when Nellie has her bonus intact.

I'll let someone else spend 15 minutes pointing out every single difference between the cards. Obviously there are a number of them. ]]>Sat, 22 Dec 2012 08:41:19 GMTELO players agree with you; and the developers have obliged you by banning said offenders of "fun."

Did banning Spyke open up more cards in the cardpool? Not really. Instead, banning him made his entire clan irrelevant. Spyke gave characters like Herman the chance to sign; he was an assassin for the cookie cutter characters that anyone knows after they've played 20 ELO matches. You could prepare for him; you could run him; but fairly often you were challenged to win a match when your opponent drew him and you did not. And if you found a way to win that match, that's the best feeling this game can give you.

It's funny for us to get excited about a 8/5 protection power/ damage when at the same time the developers have banned the reasons (Spyke, Olga, Robb Cr) you would be excited about these characters in the first place.

In short, I find it more fun when occasionally I had to consider playing or countering the men colored red, of being on the right or wrong side of a 7-4 difference in power. Now? Red men are a waste in my virtual collection.

I also find it funny that Spyke was such a red bullseye when Nellie, who is nearly never banned, offers mathematically the same combat advantage and only 1 less gap. There are few matchup differences between Spyke and Nellie.]]>
