Re: Bonus Track Buckehead zombie is sort of OP

It's blatant power creep, yes. But it's hardly OP in any regards. 

It's also counters hard by Chomper and Whack, among others. 

The dancing trait makes it a bit better in tribe decks but I find it's just a strong card, much like defensive end. Not OP at all.

I am happy for it's ability as repeat decks can get out of control real fast and it's good that zombies have a counter to it, much like Sportacus counters Dr. tricks decks, etc...

    Well... it should be, but Sportacus is easily killed by a strong breeze. I mean, a 1 cost trick (albeit a super, but zombots wrath kills it the turn its played) can do it and not activate the effect... let's face it, sportacus against doc =/= def end against troller flare.

    Oh for sure! Defensive end is a stronger card in itself. But its a late game play, where as Sportacus in an early game play. They can be dealt with using different tool on curve. And if you dont have that single removal and you play Sportacus and an already threatening plant board, you're forcing the zombie player to make tough decisions with their removals. I love Sportacus so far.

    Yeah, i don't mind it, but it's that use you just explained that i get the most use out of... running interference, not the effect.

    And def end can be pretty early game... let's not forget.

    I do want to be clear (i know you know this about me, already) i don't think def end is OP. I just think sportacus is underwhelming. I'd really like to see it get armor. I think that would sway a lot of the frustration players are feeling about it.
