Nerfing sandeep would fix internal Arcanist balance. Its not that the rest are weak. Its sandeep whos too good.

So basicly hes complaining that sandeeps range is too great to the point that LoS becomes an issue. Interesting claim.

Well comparing other mimicing actions their range is wayyy shorter. Doppelganger 8, changelings 3 and aura. Mfo child isnt limited to LoS but its totem so kinda different category (even so, that things are not masters and not AR so comparison is hard to make). But still 12'' is huge and i believe its not that hard being able to do those actions especially that sandeep isnt bound to be behind everythinh\g

I dont get it, you have trouble having your sandeep in LoS with your crew?

And Ca 4 10 nonprojecile (ignoring cover, shooting from engagement and non randomizing) 2/4/5 with possible + to the damage flip is still very strong for a cheap minion

But thats the point. To nerf Sandeep so he will not be as strong as he is now

Dude are you saying to me that being 12'' to sandeep (very tanky master who can be in the middle anyway) is close? I know youre an sandeep player but at this point its just trolling man

actually arcane storm is a very good attack for a minion with that nonprojectile range and nice trigger. I'd say more its better than any attack action of minions which cost 5 or less

I did? Show me where

you know that theres much more to action than just its vale?

Oh but those other masters I named are quite OP indeed and thats coming from Collodi player. The things is only Sandeep and Nico are gamebreaking OP right now. Sorry to disapoint you necron but sandeep reduces dmg dealt to him to 0, not 1. Also he has higher Wd pool than any NB master for example (equal to Titania).

And its not like we didnt test out things. On casual games people try Kaeris, Raspy, Ophelia and other weaker masters, yet still on competetive tournament setting its only sandeep for arcanists, just because hes that good. He outperforms any arcanist master in most of the things, and only other top tier masters in faction can compete with him on some ground, yet still lose in overall look. Thats the problem, hes just too good.

The point is Sandeep doesnt has huge weaknesses (hes weaknesses are very little) and hes mechanically best in everything. A master with "2nd in everything" suddenly became 2nd in everything except for a few things where hes best at (summoning and supporting in AR). Therefore he combined with other AR trickery (cheap and solid Academic Enforcers, card discard mechanics fixed by 4 cards from myranda without a drawbacks) he became huge. Its not winning tournaments alone, we have a lot of tournaments won by Pandora, Collodi or Zipp. Yet still, playing against them feels more or less fair, even if collodi or zipp deserves a nerf, we can still wait for wyrd to take action, since its not like at the beggining you feel youre at disadventage as it is with sandeep. Its general consenus here in Poland where we take this game really comptetivly and doing our best to max out everything we can. Its not only my opinion, we have talked about it a lot and going to forum to complain was the best option we choose.

well it allows sandeep to summon banasuva without slow and then make him able to cheat fate anyway. But i dont see problem with kandara, shes made for sandeep and its obvious she works well with him

Why make thigs overly complicated. When this model is killed by an enemy attack action draw X cards (i believe 4 is too much, but wth its hard to achieve so i can live with that)

I believe that 4 cards myranda is an exploit and with change to IE that it wont trigger on sacrifice Myranda can stay the way she is.

Its fair trade for myranda to sabretooth with slow. Whole her kit is around that one change i believe. Still Cerberus + 4 cards are overpowered in my opinion. I agree that making her unable to change into any beast would make her dirt tier, lets nerf things with caution.

But its always their own attack. Not copied one which increase model's threat significantly. And to guy that argues that myranda with IE is worse than simple cerberus - why then shouldnt it be nerfed? In crews which can outactivate (sandeep!) its very very strong since that slow isnt that bad compared to extra cards usable on sandeeps actions. Also about phillip and the nanny - that card draw is also too strong (especially for more potent summoners) and nico engine also should be taken care of. If you start a thread about nerfing it, ill second you right away.

Its not the case of one tournament. its the case of whole gg17 sandeep hamelin and somer domination, and now when sandeep continues to be #1 for another gg its simply ridiculus. and myranda with IE is like always better than hiring cerberus since that 4 cards is HUGE advantage. cards gives power, control and ability to dictate the pace of the game

Kadeton: that doesnt answer why sandeep always places so high in tournaments, and all players use very similiar strong list with no counters. the only other contendants for #1 spot are hamelin who got hit by gg18 so hes not that breaking anymore (yet, hes still very strong) and nico with his crazy enginge (which is because its case of buffing master backfire, same as misaki). I belive that toning down imbued energies, because sabretooth +4 cards + an activation for free, and taking down one of sandeeps abilities (itw, copying or free action) would make him reasonable. That saying i support nerfing other overpowered masters - nico, shenlong, collodi, lilith, reva, zipp and nellie. Buffing other masters is way to risky, since they are not as played as sandeep now its hard to determine their current power lvl therefore theres high risk of another misaki/nicodem scenario.

Where are you from? Does your country has any league or anything that can indicate you as top10% player? EDIT by moderator Moderator note - Please remember to be polite. Written words do not convey tone well. All posters are entitled to opinions regardless of their results

oh, so youre sandeep player?

like he did not win swedish nationals or polish nationals?

The only other as stupid card engines in game is Shenlong (less cards and more resources, but can be exploited every turn), and nicodem (the best and most gamebreaking card engine in game). All three should be nerfed since its way to strong compared to 6cards starting hand of opponent.

And myranda with IE are broken good - simply compare it - enemy has 6 cards and arcanist has 10. Thats 66% increase. Thats one more 11+ in hand more or less. Thats much stable hand. And youre not losing anything between maybe points on ours, yet still all of ours sandeeps use her even in this strategy
