Unfinity… what do you think about it? – Part 2: your opinions

Last time we were arguing about Unfinity cards. You may go back and rtecap the arguements if you are not familiar with the set yet.

We asked, YOU, the gamers: what should we do ?

a) Ban the whole set. (So the ban-list remains shorter and clear)

b) Ban certain cards (like all sticker or attraction mechanics – which will give a long banlist (244cards, half of which are eternal and as a guess we ban half of the eternals would result in about 50 new card-bannings)

c) Just let the cards be played, and ban afterwards if some are too strong

So, there were lots of mails coming in from you, so at least this set shook a lot of players and caused them to get active. The opinions were not as we expected, though, but divided the players almost in two equal parts between a) and c), „ban the whole set“ or „we don’t like it, we don’t want it, but don’t bother, it won’t be played for 99% of the cards.“

There are then again two possibilities, and we look which is the least limiting one.

If we ban all cards, we will also ban a bit more than is needed. (aka the 1% which players mentioned and feel is playworthy [the 1% is a fictional number and not mathematically correct but was used in several letters so we pick it up]). [option a]

If we ban non, players will be able to play this 1% of nice cards, but we also allow other strange and discussworthy cards, too. Some of these cards are really uncomfortable, so we would need additional bannings, and land at option b). [option c is not practical therefore]

——————————–

We give you two examples:

Grand Marshal Macie lets you „pause“ the end of turn / this turn trigger. Almost limitless Silence effects for the whole enemy team is boring, overpowered and not fitting for a fun format as we like to see teamcommander.

There are also some cards which refer to flavour texts: so, do only english flavour texts matter ? What happens to you if you have a foreign card – you have to have a steady internet connection to look this up. Other cards require you to tell a joke – we see people having notes and telling the same lame thing every game. Then there is a dexterity card – but wizard banned by themselves all dexterity cards like fallen star ?! You see, most of the cards are what they were designed for in the first line: jokes. The rules behind these cards are neither thoroughly thought after and are neither balanced nor ever were designed to be balanced in certain formats.e

Therefore, we agreed to optian a) : all Unfinity cards (yes, even though they are black bordered and have no acorn icon on it) are BANNED in Teamcommander.

Please keep in mind you can agree to other arrangements in your group before playing a game.

Good Games and fun ! Your Teamcommander-Team !
