I agree with Curdium (post 201). Kinda lame to introduce new characters only to ban them a few weeks later. It means rich players who can afford those characters on week 1 get an ELO advantage for a few weeks and then by the time the rest of us get a hold of those cards we can't use them.
Now, I'm no pansy-@$$ rescue player but banning Campbell while bringing back Lear Barduh seems highly hypocritical. I'm glad Lear Barduh's back, but keep Campbell, too.
I think I see what the staff's trying to do this time around. They're bringing back ability-based SoA in a big way. Striker coming off last time around joined by Yayoi and Elvira this time around along with recent releases like Carmen, Harmonia and Tekkuman means most clans will be able to field at least 1 (some 2) of these cards. This does a couple of things. It helps keep conditional cards (which are running rampant) in check. It also further nerfs the SoA clans because an Ability-based SoA is basically like a no ability card to them, which cheapens their bonus. Finally, while nerfing GHEIST and Roots it still incentivizes players to use STOP: and Skeelz cards since there will still be plenty of (ability based) SoA out there, even on GHEIST and Roots ban weeks.

P.S. Stop crying about Robb Cr. Yes, he's tough but Loocio is basically the same card and nobody complains about him...

HipHoppa that is not really correct. I direct you to Sitri post on Robb Cr's page. Robb Cr is not in fact like Loocio.

Loocio isn't same thing. Its all about power ratios.
robb against an 8 powered card is the same ratio as loocio to a 6 powered card.

No. Loocio is nothing like Robb Cr.
Robb Cr is a monster.

Yes, I realize Robb and Loocio aren't exactly the same. Robb Cr is better but not better ENOUGH to warrant a ban. That's all I'm saying.
They both fair about the same vs. SoA and SoB. Vs. a 10 powered card they're the same. Vs. a 9 powered card, they're the same. Vs. an 8 powered card they're the same. Vs. a 7 powered card, they're the same. Vs. a 6 powered card Robb is 5 power vs. 2 and Loocio is 10 power vs. 6. That's where is starts to get interesting, but still negligible. 5 power or less who really cares? How many elo cards have 5 power or less? Tula destroys Robb, 3-2, while Loocio beats her 4-3. Oshitsune equals Loocio 4-4, but beats Robb 4-3. Power =Power follows pretty much what I've stated above.

This list is too good to be true. Please proceed to stage 3, in which you turn it into a messed up list no one is satisfied with
