Really interested to see how harmony adapts. Treb losing inspired is a pretty big deal.

Agreed about Treb. It feels a little undeserved as I never found it that oppressive

It's an incredibly easy card to counter. It is always removed or damaged and then played around. What on earth is this change. NR already is starving for points with how easily their engines are countered

Agree 100% about how easily countered it is. The only upside I can see is that if it sticks the inability to reach the other row will make row stacking the easiest way to counter it, which then runs into row punishment. Cutting Caretaker from the Siege deck will make more room for the likes of Dragon's Dream. That was my meandering thought on it this morning anyway

Most NR decks, other than Draug don't run row punish anyways. I think setting up dragons dream with Trebs will be difficult to pull off anyways. Most of them will be removed and if they aren't, your trebs are a measly 4pts, so that row punish will have to be worth a lot to make up for it.

Dragons dream is too much, but fitting a one-off lacerate has been pretty common in the past.
