COME ON GUYS IT'S 2017

On the other side of airstrike doing extra damage to flying, how about shatter doing less?

Ok, I get it, flying things being resistant to shatter has some thematic appeal, but does it really make for good gameplay? Why do we want gargoyles to be instantly killed by jorgun, unless they have flying, in which case they literally take 1/6 the damage? (because gargoyle doubles it, and flying cuts it by 1/3, and if you're a flying gargoyle you don't get the gargoyle penalty as well). This is my understanding of it from about a year ago at least, I don't think it's changed since then...

P.S. don't touch my felids

Good news, OP: Hellcrawl exists and of the things you listed only Airstrike and Nemelex still exist there.

Post in the Hellcrawl thread with something like half a reason and you might be able to make it have none of those things.

It's really easy to fix felids though. Just remove its multiple lives, add a trivial and useless ability like Naga's poison spit as "compensation" and be done with it.

I'd settle for -20% hp as compensation. But if I can get jump attack too, give me jump attack.

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with Nemelex. Just goldify decks and all will be fine.

Spit poison is not useless.

Jesus some guys sure complain a lot here in tavern. Just play the damn game and if you are not having fun, move on.

Its ok to make one suggestion or another but some people here cant stay put for 24 hours without bitching about some minor thing in a niche game.

To paraphrase someone else, didn't 2016 already prove that progress isn't a given? I'm sure that some joker in the year 200 was all like "really, we're *still* burning people at the stake in the year 200!?" Turns out people are horrible, and progress is only what you can claw out of the cold dead bodies of those who stand in your way, I guess. Happy Valentine's Day.

2017 and we removed all the good stuff and all we get now are frogs. Fucking Frogs. Fuck
