AToA and TWWP were both in there before. EC is new though.
I kinda wanted to remove TWWP, since we already see that enough in constructed. Draft and other sealed formats are where you get to take a second look at forgotten cards like Berserk Changeling.

Michael,
who did bad things
Yeah, killing 6 on my first mission attempt (Unfair Terms, The Weak Will Perish and Hard of Heart for the record) pretty much kneecapped me. I got one more attempt in before he won.

I question whether mass weenie killers should even be part of the card pool.

I remember years ago I played an ID draft game against @Jono at Gencon and caught both Aftereffects AND Preventative Repercussions in the course of the game and had no real way to play around OR build around it.

Unfair terms is worse because it clips 3 2-costers, and TWWP is rude in draft.

Nothing wrong with killing a few but the dilemma economy of an almost guaranteed triple kill on one card strikes me as... not great.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the course of the last couple of drafts, and not just because of what happened last night. I have come to the conclusion that the 6-cost weenie hate dilemmas at a minimum should be banned from the pool. I don't mind keeping in things like Distraction, Miner Revolt and Inquest, since they're stoppers, but the kill stuff is becoming too much.

I am totally fine with nixing the 6-costers (given I draft Slightly Overbooked every time I see it) and chopping down on the number of kill dilemmas. We have refreshed the environment a lot with this infusion of new people and missions, we can certainly scale some other stuff back as well. :twocents:
