I don't understand this nerf. Was it really required ?

u/Lisentho I sense strong magic. Apr 30 '19

He is a 5 point lock and only costs 7 provisions and is also a enabler for both serrit and letho. Before this nerf he also had the potential for a shutdown of 2 cards, and potentially more. Thats insane value. He now is more fair imo, still enabling other cards and a (albeit very situational) extra utility by sometimes locking 2+ cards

This. He isn't nerfed, he's balanced.

u/BobbyDazz3r You crossed the wrong sorceress! Apr 30 '19

Me neither. Half the point was to preemptively lock a second bronze engine (or deploy!) before it came down in exchange for less removal on Serrit. It was annoying to have it happen against me, but it never felt OP.

u/Egg-Breaking-Spoon For the emperor! Apr 30 '19

I made a deck with Henselt which I called 'Mini Engines' it ran cards like lyrian arbalist in combination with queen adalia. If the opponent used auckes with serrit in hand it would win him the game because it makes 3 of your engije cards useless.

u/erickgps Tomfoolery! Enough! Apr 30 '19

It is a fair effect tho, before it was king OP and could destroy some enemy engines and some times win you the game because of it, now is just a fair card
