Has anyone done a straight AotP vs HS comparison?

[Cigarman]

I'm talking about 500 point Planeswalkers vs 500 points of HS units?

How do the sides compare? Are the points for HS in balance with the AotP points? Can I just throw Planeswalkers in my HS game without screwing up the balance, especially if spells that pump up squad stats are limited to just Planeswalker summoned creatures?

Its not so simple because of the turn structure. What do you do to a planeswalker if you're supposed to reveal their order marker? What do you do to the HS player if the PW plays a spell that is supposed to make them discard cards from their hand?

With the expansion, we've seen that deckbuilding for each planeswalker will be more of a thing as future sets are released.
In the near future (2-3 more sets the seize of Zendikar), I'll bet that each color would be able to build a viable deck for use against a Heroscape army.


Its kind of like the 3 vs. Eldrazi Ruiner scenario in the expansion pack. The Eldrazi player doesn't have any deck, but the black planeswalker (with the 15 available cards) will still have at least one or two cards that would ask the Eldrazi to discard. I think a couple other color planeswalkers have similar problems in that scenario.

They're discussing this here and here.
