This is obviously a tough choice.
On one hand, yes, the event card is ridiculous. It puts the focus on itself instead of enhancing the War in any way. Now, it seems like almost every battle will be not only focused around, but determined by the Event Card. I don't think that is the purpose of having Event Cards. The Event Cards should have a blanket effect on the War, effecting each team equally.
Also, this puts a further disadvantage to the newer players. There is no way they could afford to upgrade that many cards, especially if Event Cards keep coming out under this same theme. What's the point of a rookie if they get put at a FURTHER disadvantage by Event Cards like this.
On the other hand, this is a game. This War is not the same as the last War and SG is obviously trying to make some serious changes. Does anyone know her or the Warmasters' motive behind making an Event Card like this? Maybe they have a legit motive that would validate a card like this (even though I think that is unlikely). This is a game and maybe we should take advantage of every rule that we can, even if it is unfair. ???
I don't like what this Event Card has done to the War. Not at all.
