I'm not blaming Lucas, but maybe FFG for not testing their cards enough (lots of people left the game behind when skaven rush was so powerfull it was boring playing against).

And the rest will stab me with some blunt object. No thank you :D

Generally what I'm trying to say is as a customer buying the product somebody might feel doped that's all.

As for legal procedures do you remeber the case of woman who sued McDonald for burning herself with hot coffee which she didn't know it's hot and McDonald didn't warn her about that? Similar story might be here - look you did restrict/ban cards however you didn't mention this practise might hapen when I was buying cards:D

Its not like FFG is coming to your home and tearing up your restricted cards.  The banned/restricted list is only for their official events, you can play with whatever cards you want at all other times.

And as a casual player, that's exactly what I'm considering doing. Up until now I've observed all restrictions. But specially with the prospect that more cards will be put on the list in the future, I'm starting to see no reason to observe them anymore. I would really hate to see more cards restricted everytime a new FAQ comes out. So, as long as the games are still enjoyable, I won't worry about it.

Buhahhahaha... Show me someone who will want to play against the restricted cards when he knows they are restricted. Especially when I want to play with someone from local club (even a non-tournament game).

Daniello: once destro lover - now empire whiner. Curse of the blue cards!

Instead give us an example of a good LCG/CCG that have neither ban list nor restricted list.

Banning / restricted card list are somehow "essential" for a good living CCG/LCG game. Or just ask for a fixed game with no more new cards over time.

Giving some strong constraint to make all created card to be balanced just make creation of new cards boring and so on the game himself boring.

I totally agree with you, Mamut!

And I want to say just one thing more: ban & restricted list could be ignored by players if they feel it's not fair (because they bought cards they can't use).

Everyone can play at home with friends or organise un-official tournanents without ban and restricted list, it's mandatory only if you want to join to official circuit...

But if you want to play an official competition, you have to respect more rules, made to find a better balancing between factions

The problem is the speed with FFG releases their battlepacks. Every month. It's nice to have some new cards but on the other hand you don't have a time to test them correctly.

I would prefer to get battlepack every two months if that would allow to release non-broken cards for any race.

And I still love my DE sneaky bastichs with their dirty tricks but if for some reason FFG restrict Offering to Hekarti I might get mad :D

P.S. Could anyone tell me why Soul Stealer is still restricted card?

I guess it was to avoid T1 Soul Stealer. (Walking Sacrifice + innov)

And more generaly to avoid playing Soul Stealer with fast set up cards.

T1 Soul Stealer??? IMO it is a waste of turn for DE player anyway. You need 4 resources to steal an enemy unit. Highly unlikely to happen. And Innovation in the deck instead of Warpstone Excavation (thanks to the restrictions by the way)??? No, I don't think so.

Depend what you steal T1 :x.

By the way, in many decks innovation is just better than warpstone.
