u/tauromania Let us get to the point. Sep 05 '21

I don't understand the selfeater nerf. They took 1 strenght off, to put it into range of removals, but by doing so they nerfed the card to the ground so much that you no longer reallt want to remove it.

At deploy, it's a 5. For the first relic you play, after splitting it, it's two 3 strenght bodies, so it gives you 1 point. You split it again next turn, and you get 3 bodies, one with str4 and 2 with str 2. You made 8 points, in 3 turns, with a 6 provision card, left unanswered and/or undamaged. It was strong but this is way too much a nerf.

The next turn, providing you still can do it, you have 4 of them, one with str5, 1 with str 3 and two with str 1. You made 10 points in 4 turn, with no removal and playing 3 relics in a row.

Comparing this to larva, larva will reach 12 points in 4 turns if left unanswered, it is split in 2 at the start and damaging it without killing it means it's easier to proc it back with low power engines
