This late in war, there are only a few teams that have more than 2 players battling, meaning that the majority of players are officers. With 6 matches and only 30 players left, there's not a big chance of getting a non-officer.
Years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, and Steve Jobs. Now we have Obama, no hope, no cash, and no jobs.

He knows this.

Generals have a much bigger advantage from 2 of the 3 event cards btw, so it might hurt alot more to fight them then previous rounds!

Crazy event.

Teams fielding only one or two decks can make full use of the third card and charge with fully upped monos (Generals can use THIRTY SIX upgrades!  :o ), teams whose Vault sucks and is terribly predictable, or who can't afford to field monos, can turn around the table using the first card to gain unpredictability.

Of course, Time, Earth and Entropy will have a far harder time against their opponents this round. But I fully expect Entroponies and Earthlings to gain some dirty tricks with the first one - fielding so many decks doesn't work well with the second and third one, so they'll likely choose to convert the hell to graboids / earthquakes / novas / discords. So much for slowly grinding away their Vault...

This will be an excellent round. To watch, of course: Life would have gained practically nothing from these events - maybe some adrenastaves to resurrect the Monks...

Besides, how would it work for Underworld? If it was still here, I mean...

This, combined with the fact that many teams had brought anti-UW cards (Team Life had 6 BHs in their Vault since Round 1, for instance, and Team Air had those too, IIRC) because we were scared of it.

Substitute ALL the matches!

I wonder how many will actually choose the second event card, first and third both look delicious though :-*

Will the salvage remain 0 for the rest of war to make sure it's short, or is it just for this round?
I guess they won't tell us. I bet it will get worse each round. Like -36/-6 next time ;)

Think about that for a second. You are basically asking for Event Cards that do nothing.

The beauty of making Event Cards as we go along is that we don't have to make it work for UW if they are out. :)

IMO, event cards should be fair to all teams. Event cards like this one are very unfair because some teams have amazing mono's, but some elements don't. This also gives too much of an advantage to teams who have lost many games. Do these teams really deserve a second chance to come back and win when it is their fault that they lost? This is just plain mean to the teams in the lead.
