is it really neccessary this card is banned?
resQ is so much worse
Depending on the context, "worse" could mean "more egregious" or "less powerful."
I believe pfti and Professor Scott took it to mean "more egregious." I did as well. I think we all agree that Res-Q is not more egregiously powerful than Palor Toff.
If you mean that Res-Q is much less powerful than Palor Toff, then I agree. And that also pretty much answers your question. Recursion is one of the quickest ways to break a game, so getting cards back from the discard pile should be appropriately costly. Res-Q provides a similar retrieval function as Palor Toff at a much more balanced cost (your card play), which makes it more suitable to OTF. In other words, Palor Toff is not OTF legal because it is so much better than Res-Q.
