I am writing this post to ask for your opinions. I believe that protection is currently excessively strong.
Look at the recently released RFAF. This card increases hand size. Considering the importance of hand size in this game, this card is practically broken.
The disarming defense included in Wonderman has become a way to remove Ronan's weapon.
However, what really angers me are a few events and upgrades.
Mansion draws one card for 4 mana. Unflappable draws one card for 1 mana. Hard to ignore ignores Confuse, and the same goes for Not Today.
Furthermore, heroes with 3 defense can easily add 2 defense with Vest and Conditioning, and the recently revealed Echo Ronin adds another 1 defense on top of that. This is ridiculous.
I believe that defense also needs a status that negates it, just like Attack and Thwart. What do you think?
