Zombies are ridiculously more powerful than plants. The amount of cards that can be played with 1 or 2 brains is completely insane. Now the new lucky character gets 2x "draw 3 cards for 1 brain". Draw 3???? So zombies have the ability to get a total of 8 draw 3 cards - 24 extra cards. Are you joking. Plants get to draw 2 cards for 3 points, so I can definitely see how that is completely fair.
I agree.
I appreciated that there was only one hero capable of drawing three cards in exchange for a single brain (Professor Brainstorm). And this move does not even bother me, since being a superpower, is a play that the opponent can only perform once in the whole game. However, thanks to Leprechaun Imp, your opponent also have the possibility to get three extra cards in exchange for a single brain, but up to 8 times in a game!!! This is already worrying.
Pot of Gold should give two cards for two brains, or three cards for three brains, but three cards for one wretched brain is quite destabilizing. The above, without considering that Leprechaun Imp has 2/2, which is quite good for a zombie that costs one brain.
@daalnnii, you're absolutely right. I've had 10 cards several times and still have not had the possibility to form a good strategy. Sometimes you get full of high-cost cards and you can't use them, or you just do not have good combinations (synergy). As always, the subject becomes complex to be analyzed.
I personally feel like that creature-based zombie-draw is just way to "robust" (?).
Kite-flyer, commando-imp, scientist and now the new lucky-imp do their thing without much of a loss in stats. Plants either have no creature-based Card draw at all or they don´t stand the competition. I mean; no doubt things like Sage Sage, Party Thyme or Plucky are playable but they all have super * stats in exchange for card-draw thats on top of that also much harder to abuse then just playing a few imps or a kite-flyer.
It is absolutely fine to have good card-draw outlets but man.....1 brain for a 2/2 which is already pretty top notch PLUS that insane draw at some point at the game....idk. seems overtuned...he also is a imp which is not insignificant. i think the draw itself wouldn´t be unfair if it where attached to a less efficient body....a 2/1 for 2 or a 2/3 for 3? maybe?
The card is balanced (kinda), because you are not counting an important fact, that is that you need to draw an specific card. Twice.
You need to have the Leprechaun Imp to have the pots shuffled. THEN you need to draw the card, in order to get the actual card draw.
If you are going to pass through all this trouble, it is comprensible that it should be a better effect than just using Fun-Dead Raiser to draw 2 cards.
(Maybe we could change the card a little, and making the pot shuffle a "when destroyed" effect rather than just a "when played")
HOWEVER, I do agree that plants should have more drawing mechanics, I'm just saying that I don't find anything wrong with the Imp.
