It’s not like Astral Visions Druid was ever a problem, and “fun” high-roll cards are perfectly fine.īut I still say it isn’t nearly as much of a “high-roll” card.Complete your Total War collection with this Definitive Edition of Total War: EMPIRE, which includes all DLC and feature updates since the game’s release: But if it isn’t competitive, then the amount of high-roll inherent to the deck isn’t as important. But it isn’t nearly as common as 35% of games.Īlso, Espionage just doesn’t look like it will be a T1 deck. Yes, there is still a high-roll aspect to the deck. Since there are 2 in the deck, it is much more likely to be drawn and played, and since the cards are random (and there are 10 of them per use), the distribution of effects is actually fairly stable.

But, Espionage doesn’t have that many similarities.īarnes swings the deck’s WR by 30-40 points based on the 35% chance to get him on curve. I hate Barnes in Big Priest it is the epitome of high-roll cards among competitive decks. That’s a lot of different kinds of game states to try to navigate for a single deck. The randomness of the cards actually makes the deck require skilled play, because every set of cards you get is different. Nobody wants to draw a 1-mana Fiery War Axe or Cleave on turn 8 they want something that synergizes with their deck, or is actually good in the late game. The majority of your “okay” results are actually bad. It’s the Standard equivalent of Barnes in Wild Big Priest. It single-handedly decides the outcome of the game, based on dumb luck. But even if you dismiss the fact that there are far more good results than bad ones, Academic Espionage would still be a poorly-designed card.
