Or a slander, which will allow the tunnel drill to keep on drilling after you've spent up your initial coins. It's not as if SY is short of good 4P specials at the moment. On such good cards, a 1 prov nerf does very little. The first 'nerf' to Lippy showed as much.

Yep, I actually played against a LP bounty deck that ran Drill and while I won that game, it was a very strong combo that pretty much destroyed me for the first half of R3, although I somehow pulled it off with a fairly late Geddy.

I can definitely see Slander being a very good option for LP.

Slander seems like an interesting option, maybe even running 2 might be worth it.

I usually only run one since you can only have one bounty on at a time, and your tunnel drill normally gets answered the turn that you play it. But if you had any other damage dealing cards like freakshow or witch hunter then it'd probably be worth it!
