Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
Well met!
Seriously, I have been well and truly called out. I, too, have less time for this than my impatience demands. The best I can do is try to make my battle reports more useful - for Delta+ when I am Host, and C3V/SoV, C3G, etc., over all. This little contretemps has caused me to back off from the absolute nature of my protest, but somehow freed me to play Q9 without the usual guilt. |

double attack is always cool. Second answer, useless and/or too hard to use in too many matchups. I even prefer Taelord to be fair. B-/C+ Swiss army knife for less than 100 points, same as Heirloom. A-. I think we all agree on both of these things. |

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
I'm happy to hear more input; I will update the OP this weekend.
It is definitely hard to get a second wave of good attacks with the Ebon, but the first wave, plus lots and lots of blocking, plus a surprise 2 or 3 attacks of 4 later in the game, is not too shabby. I think B is fair. |

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
I'd like to put in one last defense for Emperor Andask. Taelord may beat him aura-wise, but the Emperor is a ranged flier. The aura can be not bad if you're rolling big melee attacks, like Minion of Utgar, for example. Kyrie Supremacy is nice too, it increase some chances of auto-kills with Runa and Atlaga. He can be less useful than his true potential a lot, but a ranged flier is always useful... Maybe a B- at lowest, I don't think he's in the C range.

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
Other changes I'd like to see:
Capt John Varan B+ -->B-: I never saw him being effective. Purple Heart is impossible to pull off and th special attack is too situationnal. Arashara Goshiri B+ --> B-: Extremly overrated even the players who play her extremly well (not me) are rarely rewarded. The 50% odd to miss is too much of a downside in competitive. Nnah Scirh Cultist B+ --> A-: More versatile than what we can think by looking at the card, and very strong against a big chunk of the meta. Command Courrier B --> B-: Never saw those guys usefull by any means. They are used as meat shield but they're bad at it. Tomb skeletons B- --> C+: They're just incredibly bad. I never saw them win a single game. Armoc Vipers B- --> B: They finally have a good bonding hero. Deepwyrm Drow C+ --> B- They're not that bad. Dzu-Teh C- --> C+ They're not that bad. |

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
TAF's worthless opinion:
Tomb skeletons are bad. Even for 40 points no synergy and poor move makes them too hard to play. I'd cough up an extra 10 points for Goblins every time. I thought Cyprien's bio said his skeletons were fast. I'll also agree that Ashara Goshiri seems way overpriced. No matter how I look at it there's just no way I'd ever be willing to spend that much on a frail figure with a "game-changing" ability--especially one with quotes over it. I must say I did try out an army of Ebon Armor paired with Vikings/Knights, with the spirits going onto the Armor. They can be quite dangerous, but they're tricky with OMs and many abilities bypass their reanimation. I completely ruined a Ninja/Ebon army at a local tourney with Marrden Hounds. They're kinda hard to use to their fullest potential. The biggest offender in my opinion is Brimstone. He's. Not. Good. ~TAF TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |

My Thoughts On Your Thoughts
Cutters are much better than Tombies (they're one of my favorite units). Tombies can be boosted by the Warden. That I tend to view the Tombies as more of a counterdraft unit or something I'd bring in a take 2 than something I'd bring to any kind of double blind tournament. They aren't awful but they do feel very difficult to use well.
Goshiri might be a titch overpriced and her power might suck when it fails but as someone who has played a fair amount of C3G let me just say that figure movement is amazing. The ability to throw a valuable support unit into a hole and then have a bunch of Romans/Band assault the unit can not be underestimated along with a lot of other uses she has. She's still not as good as a number of other warlords but I think her ability is far more game changing than any warlord besides NGS and maybe Marcus. Brimstone is easily the worst dragon but I think he's got some fun uses. He might not be higher than C+ though. ~Dysole, who loves playing goofball units (I have brought all of the units listed above to a tournament) My Twitch Channel where I play Scape and other things My YouTube Channel where the games get uploaded later Dysole's Draft Rankings Map Thread (Not responsible for psychic damage) Customs Battle Reports This sentence is seven words long.

I don't think the Tombies are that bad. I've used them with Skull Demons and Death Knights to decent effect since I first won against Romans with that army. They've won a handful of games. I think they're fine where they are. I wouldn't be moving them up any, though. |

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
Oh yeah, that's true I guess. Where are those Skeleton Cavalry guys then? Perhaps one day, C3V/SoV...

Re: C3V/SoV-inclusive Power Rankings
Agree with Foudzing that Frosty should be B.
I have played Pathfinders in a couple of tournaments, and I feel that they should be B as well. They are solid, but board control is not their area of expertise. If they can force their opponent to come to them though, they are really strong. You have to know how to bounce OMs around between their heros and themselves to get the most out of them, though. |
