I doubt this will be the solution the CC comes up with. This is the "Silver Bullet" strategy that Decipher used to deal with unbalanced strategies, and unfortunately it led to the situation where a good portion of every competitive deck was decided before it was built because there were so many unbalanced strategies that could cost you a game and you had to include the counter for them or risk having your deck rendered ineffective. In my experience, when a CCG gets to the point where everyone's deck looks the same, the diversity of play aspect of CCG's is lost and people start to get bored.Both of these remarkls are absolutely spot on, in my opinion. Making counter measure cards forces people to use the offending 'broken' card or the way to deal with it. This is a direct route to a very sterile play enviroment.
Based on what is going on with OTF, I think it is much more likely that a series of errata will be used to try to balance Hexany strategies. That is, fixing the aspects of cards that push them from "Great" to "Broken".
