As far as her effect being recruit only, I don't like the idea. I mean she is meant to be Shifted in. This is why I did not like the idea of the errata making her effect recruit only. I mean to me personally I think her ability to give 1 Shift counter to 1 character when she enters play is balanced. As I said before it can be abused but no where to the magnitude that the original Blink could have been. Only play testing would tell and I doubt anyone wants to play test a "fantasy card" :p. later, Kj

But if the majorities vote for this one, there is no choice and I will have to accept it. Edited by JoseG, Jun 25 2009, 06:44 PM.

I threw a simple, yet effective, idea out there just for people to mill over. In no way has the council said they were going to go with my idea, or anyone else, for that matter other than banning her. I just don't want people thinking that the design of that Blink I put up is council material because it's not. It was just a simple idea and that is all. Ok back to the topic that the council has issued a community ban on Blink if you choose to use it at your tournaments (which I would=). Sorry if I derailed the thread too much there Carlos with that Blink. I will take it down if need be, Kj Edited by KardKrazy, Jun 25 2009, 06:51 PM.

How? Beak Saves the day takes her out with 2 counters so your just better of paying the resource rather than playing it for her anyways.

I guess if you look at it from a crazy interaction of shadowcat, effects that remove shift counters, kk's fan blink and beak, you can add a shift counter to a dude without counters and shadowcat that dude in then shadowcat blink back in? That's all I got.

That's all I got. If a characetr has 0 counters that means you either used Panoptichron or A Finer Wolrd. In either case wouldn't it just be easier to recruit KK's fan Blink add the counter and then use Shadowcat on the character that got the counter? That means you save the Beak for another time or perhaps for Shadowcat.

Senior Member Posts: 571 Group: Senior Member Member #7,817 Joined: April 9, 2009	In answer to the question, it wouldn't be a bad thing; hell, if you shift out Shadowcat after tapping her you basically gain 1 resource point as well (she saves 2 resource points on the character she brings in, and it costs 1 more to get the counter back on). I don't necessarily believe that new blink would even see play. And heck, even with Beak's, you still have to pay the 1 to bring her back in, so where is the savings? Warp shards sure, but if people want to use that thing to generate 1 resource point instead of move that 10 toughness guy out of the way or burn the opponent for 10, more power to them. But the real question is: Does Exiles really need help at this point?
