Something will probably have to be done about Genesis. TB was becoming uber-centralized to Genesis even before the new set sent it through the roof.

Yeah. We should probably ban like... Zeb for sure. Probably another hero... maybe Benjamin or Joseph. Genesis was really good before and everything they got is really playable.

I nominate that you erase all errata's that were given for the purpose of toning down a card and ban that card. They've been using errata as a way to get around banning, so you might as well ban them instead of keeping an errata. Sorry, ANB.

I second this, and add Falling Away.

I'd also like to put Joseph on the suspect list. It's too early for me to want him straight banned, but he needs to be watched.

I don't see the purpose of this, most of those were made for type 2, and ban is currently t1 only.

Q. What is the point of Type Ban?
A. To ban cards that are broken instead of errata-ing them or letting them roam free, as Cactus is currently doing.
Q. Why are there cards that are errata'd?
A. Because Cactus has already done so and we're still using their way of stopping broken cards because it's already been done...?
Q. Why can't cards work the way they say they work?
A. Because, well, we don't want to fix that...?

ANB had a number of killer T1 combos leading to it's erratas.

Type Ban is designed to be very similar to T1, but maximizing fun by banning certain centralizing or NPE cards. Banning cards that have a T2 errata (or even a general errata like ANB) is outside the scope of what this type is about. Unless said errata'd card is lessening fun on its own (like Grapes last season).

Alex, assuming your other nominations are what you are planning to nominate please include a reason for all of the cards that weren't banned last season.

My nominations:

New Jerusalem, Mayhem, Lost Souls, Falling Away.

I agree with your nominations for now. Not sure what else to do until I see how those bans play out.

I add Joseph to my list of ban nominees. TB was already nearly 100% centralized to Genesis before it got an unreal amount of help in this set. Now even normal T1 is almost entirely genesis from my experience. Joseph needs t2h banz if there's to be any hope of diversity.

Don't ban Joe, ban Creation of the World. Genesis ends up significantly balanced.

Not really. Creation of the World is a gimmick. Joe is a hero with 2 CBN enhancements that can't be marytred.

I don't think he's broken enough to justify a ban though. CotW takes Genesis and makes it crazy if you can pull that off early enough. I just don't feel it. Ben should be banned before Joe.

2? I assume you're talking about the 2 that come with him? There is one more though, and it's significant.

Depends what you want to put there.
Something somewhat crude but tasteful. It may get you banned and it's not something you'd be willing to say in front of your boss.

Played my first couple TB games. I won't go into great detail since both decks were pretty hastily made and not the best representations of TB, but I reiterate my nomination for the banning of Joseph. Almost guaranteed initiative, 3 CBN battle-winners, can't be Martyred, can be protected from Capture, easy playing of Creation of the World, 2 Heroes that retrieve him from Discard (one of whom can also retrieve him from deck), and in a brigade so fast it makes Disciples cry.

You saw nothing!

But I pretty much agree. Sad part is that I only used Joe for 2 of the 9 rescues that I made. Gen just has far, far to many options.

How exactly can he be protected from capture other than Tassels?

Rawrlolsauce! receives the first plus one I have ever given for the quote at the bottom. You should rent Olijar's space just to include a bit more of that or to sing of Olaf glad and big.
