Ok....here are my two cents...take them for what they are worth....
Burning Man: On the fence with this one...however, major player and finisher technically can get up to +12...question- does Necros/Sinful special ability get the +12 if used?
Sly Drury - The deciever is back! Sweet! Love the art and the story aspect makes sense...plus, his return is tying up things nicely with several other stories...
Shayne - The art was sweet...like him better as a villian and hated his old mechanic- never hen to use it and no that is no onger a concern!
Witness - Like the idea that he dropped the Thantos gimmick and became his own man...the art is kewl , stats are kewl, and I think he is cohoots with Hector.
Necros - A billion times better than the old Count Necros card! Sick mechanic...shades of Colossus!
Patch - Liked the art loved the stats..ditto!
Iron Hand - Also, fav of the set...several people I have been talking with thinks it might be Eclipse...I am not so sure!
Skiver - Great update! Love the art and the stats!
Elena and Sinful- Great additions to a weak womans division!
I think it was a great set...it opened up doors for possible storylines and closed others...it equalized the mid carders/lower mid carders, and the womans division...which was very needed... AND it was a trillion times better than Council of War (easily the least fav of all time IMO).
