 Huh? So you can instantly lose games for an illegal deck?

I don't get this one, I'm afraid...

Well, all reversible cards since Revo 4 are so full of texts the text on A Raw Deal Revolution could be rewritten as "Reverse any Revolution 4 and Revolution 5 cards.". Just something that is bugging me a bit when I read spoilers.

How quickly we forget the general failure of cards with little or no text that was Revolution... Wink

Besides, they're all Unique so unless you are Stevie Richards, none of them could get hit with The Raw Deal Revolution.

As it is, we've tried reducing wording where possible, like that silly 'you do not count as' text on remake Superstars, or using 'Capacity' rather than the long-winded explanation for getting more Backlash playability.  But by the same token, if all the cards did was 'draw 1 card' or 'discard 1 card', new Superstars wouldn't be very interesting, right?  Smiley

I understand where you're coming from, I just hope you see why we have cards full of text - for more options, to increase the fun factor, etc.

EDIT: Come to think of it, we've even catered to you!  Pack Drawing a Blank (and maybe The Great Khali) and we can help you play cards without text, so its easier on the eyes!  Cheesy

It's also a standard in gaming. Any good game with expansions always gets more "wordier". With more effects comes more words to make sure certain blending of said effects is covered without a huge FAQ. Now the Raw Deal FAQ is another story... laugh

 Why leave the foot note about Alentown not being broken? why would anyone think it's broken, when clearly it's quite average.

That was about ALL the cards, cutting down the 'spoiler shock syndrome' where someone glances over the text one time, stops thinking or analyzing, and rushes to post WTFOMGBBQ THIS IS BROKKEENNNN!!!!111ONEONE!!!  Tongue

I personally like words.

They give the cards character.  Wink

Just curious, Does this include and REvo cards that we may have (or not have) or will they have their own waves?

(Non-Superstar) Revo cards were already spoiled in the other wave (2).
