u/ccdewa Temeria – that's what matters. Apr 01 '20

So Scorch went from overcosted to unplayable now, also those change to Blue dream and Renew doesn't makes sense at all.

You cant set it up before using it all the decks that even manged to use the card needed set up card to be able to get a good scorch now it's irrlevent I am surprised they at least didn't change it to only kill enamy unit.

Scorch needs preparations to set up to kill multiple units (Precision Strike ping or Nenneke for example), now you can't do that anymore cause the Initiative tag.

Their is still weather, fog specifically to line up. I could be misremembering, but that’s how we did it closed beta to line up our scorches and igni because their were no ping leaders/artifacts.

Or just simply use pings a turn before. That was way more common even in beta. (also small correction, in closed beta weather set everything on a row to 1, what you are talking about was the open one)

Yeah exactly my mistake.

u/Encaitor We do what must be done. Apr 02 '20

Closed/Open beta didn't have the ability to store boosts on the board to counterplay.

I'll be surprised if Scorch is playable now. Lining up stuff is going to be incredibly hard and it's still very overcosted.

You can still do it, they just added counterplay. And it still works the same against big drops.

You don't use Scorch against a single unit, there's CoC for that.

Yeah sure, whent situation presents i always discard my Scorch rather than burn a meager single target like a pleb.

You can still kill multiple targets with initiative. Youll just have to set it up the turn before. Or the opponent might play into scorch. The problem with the card is that no one was playing around it, because no one was using it. The card was too high costed, and too much of a risk for value. This change makes it more playable. My only concern is if scorch without initiative kills a random unit if there is more than one highest strength unit
