There are a lot of razors edge moments in games with it and if it was overpowered that wouldn't be the case.
Maybe just admit that Kris and I are just really good at this game, come prepared and it's not the deck.....
First off... I'd be very surprised if anyone claimed that you and Kris were NOT good at this game. In fact, I'd have a lot of questions for the person making the claim.
That said, it's the second part that concerns me more in this conversation: the "come prepared" part. I definitely agree that meta analysis and preparation are key elements in being successful, no question there. The issue is when you have one deck type that is so dominant that it has to be prepared for, there's only so many options for what "prepared" looks like. That leaves all of the other options out in the cold, and I'd argue that situation is something that Design/ Errata/ etc. SHOULD address.
Now if you want to make the argument that battle Borg does NOT drive such a rock/ paper/scissors meta, then ok. That's a fair debate to be had. But if it DOES, and you still think no action should be taken, then I'm inclined to respectfully disagree. Limited meta leads to a stale game leads to decreased interest and participation. That should be prevented.
