  1. The design strays too far from the usual treatment of kobolds. In particular people did not like them going to Jandar.
  2. Constant 4 Attack is too much for miniatures this small.
  3. Synergy with all Warriors is overly broad.
  4. Synergy with Raelin--already one of the best units in the game.
  5. Getting a boost both before and after the Master dies removes any tension; it's a win-win.
Thanks for you consideration. While some of those criticisms are pretty fundamental to the design (namely, Jandar and Warrior), I think there is enough that can be played with. We'll tweak things in the Boot Camp and see if we can make the Kobolds palatable while keeping the spirit of the design.
