Oh, snap, called it before the fifteen second waiting period for calling votes after an arbitrary starting point elapsed. Entire vote is nullified. You have to burn the thread and we all have non-disclosure forms we'll need to sign about its existence.

Your severance is in the mail. It is a single turd.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Alright, so I had a super fun time playtesting the Blue Ranger. His Ranger Analysis can be devastating in certain situations. His special attack allowing him to reroll coupled with a drop in their defense hits really hard. I had some really good rolls with it. The reword for Takuya Spider-Man makes him a no brainer choice to play with Blue Ranger right now. His price point seems okay at the moment, but as more Rangers come into play and the turn efficiency is built up, I could see his points going up. He may be one of the more important Rangers in the group just for his Ranger Analysis alone. I can’t wait to see what others think about him.

[Arch-vile]

Looking good! We've had to tweak the Bionicles a little as new ones come in - I could see something similar happening with the Power Rangers since you're building a new faction.

[IAmBatman]

Looks good! Pre-yea for playtesting.
