I just want to reiterate how much I think that tree guard should be banned. I can't believe that this card survived more than a season. I have 0 idea who enjoys playing against this card. In addition to it being strong, it's the least fun I've had playing against a card ever. I think I'd rather play...

Child Ombudsman is very dumb. The fact that you can use it as a grow immediately in 5 without needing to first take another action leads to very frequently being able to grow to 5 before rounds 8 or 9, and you have too big of an action advantage at that point to overcome regardless of when grow flip...

Ah I think I got handcart confused with handtruck. My fault. Wait are you saying that Work Certificate only procs a few times a game? Here are a couple of examples where it provides a completely egregious amount of resources: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=294540989 Game where work certifica...

Work Certificate -This card, if it comes out early enough in the game, warps the game in such a negative way, regardless of how powerful it is. It messes up all of the resource piles and gets the person playing it way too much at a direct cost to other players. There is very little counterplay to t...

I have had a bit more time to play with cards and think through things, and I'm certain the following cards should be banned: Little Peasant -I mentioned this earlier, but it's worth echoing that this card has the exact same problems that Big Country had, but it's far worse because instead of taking...

I haven't played enough with the new set to have full thoughts on all the cards, but I just wanted to go ahead and say that Little Peasant should be added to the ban list immediately. Somehow this card has an even dumber play pattern than Big Country while having the same issues: If you play this ea...

It's been a while since I've posted my opinion but I just wanted to reiterate my viewpoint in light of people discussing a bc ban: I still believe that begging student and big country should be banned. One problem with big country that hasn't been discussed is that it makes many 3 room strategies no...

I definitely agree that Wooden Hut Extender can be worded better to make it clear. The problem with this wording is that people might see "completed rounds" and get confused into thinking that it works in round 4, but there might be a similar wording that does something. I don't know if it...

I really do not understand what is the reason why we should ban cards. I mean, this is an already REVISITED EDITION, in which many adjustments to the game have been implemented. It is really dangerous to ban cards based on gaming data which are biased. The bias comes from the amount of users that a...

It's been a couple of weeks of playing arena, so I'd like to update this thread with my thoughts on cards: I now think the following cards should be banned: Big Country: My analysis from the earlier post still holds. When played on two rooms it wins too high of a percent of the time according to the...
