I made a Showboating hex deck and played it last night (using proxied cards on OCTGN). It was only one game, but it was exactly how I imagined it. Mostly staying at home, casting hexes and getting control points. I got into a few fights, but my deck was pretty tightly structured so it could hold it’s own, if need be.
I need to test it more to be sure, but my initial fears came true - this card is just awful (it worked well - I mean awful as in “not fun”). I can only imagine how awful it could be in a spirit fortress deck. This card more fully props up the most “unfun” decks that just either hide at home or hide behind their non-interactive fortress just building up CP’s and influence while completely ignoring what the other player does.
Yet another card that requires you to have spot removal vs a non-interactive deck in order to have a chance. I am very excited about almost all the new cards lately, but this one is just terrible.
