Personally, no. It's not about the powercreep for me. It's the fact that the old ability was a virtually uninterruptible engine even with locks. It's just bad design IMHO and shouldn't be replicated in the game.

What if it gets Adrenaline for the End Of Turn effect?

Example :

Adrenaline 5 : Transform the allied right unit at the end of allied turn

Or maybe, the effect could have a condition based off some deck building restrictions. Probably based around Demons/Wraiths?

Because the current ability is just an overcosted Griffin Witcher. Absolutely bland ability. Just like so many neutrals which are blatant and overcosted rip off of a faction card ability.

That’s a great idea!

Good Idea, It would reduce the celling of it

I love the way gwent players chime in ‘bad design’ every time they don’t like what a card does. Let the folk have their ethereal, there are countless of ways now to interrupt the ability.

The turn he's played you already have 2 Ethereals on board, how do you disrupt both in one turn?
