Yes it's a great card.

But putting a card in your hand is 1) situationally useful, and 2) does not actually increase White Queen's power directly. Hence she can be priced at the baseline of 4/6 fairly.

Saying the curve is off by half an energy is meaningless. There are no cards priced at half an energy. The vanilla are the baseline because nothing actually exists that's the baseline.

It also makes sense from a game design perspective that you have to balance around vanilla cards even if you aren't purposely trying to line up every card you make. Otherwise you fall victim to power creep and obsolescence in design of cards.

Also you can literally look at the cards and see this is true. Cards are all designed around those baselines with conditional bonuses allowing them to be as much as +2 higher situationally: The same as a Patriot anthem.

The math gets dicier at 5 and 6 power. I don't believe they consider Abomination or Hulk as strongly at pricing out 5/6 drops. Almost universally cards have lower power than 9/12 at these costs, compared to lower costs. The only cards that are higher however have stunningly bad downsides to compensate.

Except Magneto. Magneto's downside is really kind of not a downside at all, he just gets to be really strong because he's Magneto.

This guy has been stalking me for literally months and he has the balls to say there's something wrong with me lmfao.

Do you gain cubes when you retreat, or do you lose them?

Except I'm right?

I didn't lose shit thanks.

He can't understand very basic tweets. That's his problem not mine.

Can't wait for that 1.5 energy cost 3 power baseline card. What a great card that will be.

I really don't have the patience to deal with someone as adamant about being wrong as you are but when they invent a half energy cost card you can come back here and tell me how smart you are. Until then stop spreading your poorly understood tweets, a lot of people here are equally dumb and will believe you.

They are the closest thing to the baseline that exists as you can't have half an energy cost.

The only one with a misconception here is you. You're desperate to feel special and like you have discovered some secret knowledge or fact when really all that's happening is you have the same information everyone already knows and just plain don't understand it as well as the rest of us.

Wrong.

White Queens ability is not a mathematical one and not a huge upside so it isn't a huge factor and she's allowed to have the baseline curve power of 4/6.

You think all abilities need to deviate from the curve while rhats simply not true. It's largely related to conditional mathematical bonuses for the cost at 1-4.

Lmao no it isn't. You're under the delusion that the baseline is vanilla with a Patriot buff. They aren't.

The baseline is 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/6, 5/9, and 6/12.

Still not true.

Incorrect and untrue.

They're under by about half an energy. They aren't designed with buffing in mind any more than any other card is.

They were not. They've said they're about half an energy undercosted for being vanillas.

It's very clear from looking at the math of the game that the vanillas are basically the power curve.

It doesn't make sense as he destroys himself in the process.

I'm just very tired and a lot of annoying Galactus stans have been bothering me since I stepped foot in here. I'm sorry.

That is just way way way way way too complicated and unnecessary.

Much worse flavor wise. Much worse actual gameplay wise.

Just very bad overall.

Maybe. It woud take a lot of stacking of the far right lane to get more than say a Hulk does. You'll catch some people off guard at the start after the change but once people adapt and they see you're playing all your early drops in the far lane they'll be able to play around you.

Assuming he becomes a 6/0 with this effect the far right lane needs 6 or more cards to equal or surpass a Hulk.

If you want any sort of synergy with Knull or Death you need to play this by turn 5 and then open yourself up to more counter-play as well.

I play the way I want to play.

I'm not interesting in having a long conversation about a card that the game designers agree with me about and are going to change anyway. The card is bogus. The meta restrictions it places are bogus. And soon it will be gone.

Lmfao how?

You Shang their Galactus turn 5.

I said stop responding. What part of that was unclear?

....and you have two lanes to play cards in rather than one. Making anthem decks far more likely to be able to beat it as well as allowing you to play shit like Shang Chi AND another card against Galactus player that will almost definitely have priority for a change.

Galactus games are already a most overall power wins battle while also letting them play location denial. This keeps the overall power aspect while allowing for more counterplay.

Because I'm already infinite. Why would I change my deck?

It doesn't make queueing into it any less fucking annoying and makes me just want to do my dailies and log out until they change the card.
