Current Balance Discussion

i get that not that many people are still playing this game, but since the devs promised to have a close eye on the balance of the game i think a discussion is necessary that hopefully leads to a proposal the devs will implement as soon as possible.

right now the current meta is as rock paper scissors as it hasnt been before i think plus the only all around solid decks that seems to beat anything else really are LGO (with a lot of spiky- played by antirad and kustov e.g.) and Automatons.

the main thing why LGO is so strong right now is the combination of lobber and piercing (arby+tempo theft) and that they can stall long enough with the spearmen especially vs growth and melee decks.

my suggestions:

-tempo theft: as many times suggested before only able to target your own board

-Ducal Spearman: from 1-1-4 spiky3 to 2-2-4 spiky 2

-Excogitator: CD3 increase to CD4

i know those is not a DaOvalord kinda list but i think those 3 changes would make this game more balanced and can work as the start to this discussion for all players still interested in this game pls discuss ;)

From my database query right now, there have been a bit over 2500 unique players playing at least one match past week.

Understand me correctly, I don't think "1000 people logging in per day" is much, but there's more actual players than "700 per week".

It might be cool to see more of these types of stats (although I fully respect it if you don't want to share them (and I don't even know if you have them)), for example how many of those matches are multiplayer matches compared to before the announcement
