Re : About the mages being overpowered...

I play Mages and it is very pricey but there is really one cheap card that destroy it completely which is Harshness...

And maybe if anyone could use it and not just Nomads, then we'd be gold.

If anyone can use it than there is no point in playing Mage, might as well delete mages...

False. The argument of "might as well delete "X" class/caste/whatever" is old and dumb. I've heard it dozens of times when it comes to this game when it came to facing certain decks (Witchblades, Scragh/Avatar when that was viable) that it becomes downright eyerolling.

And I didn't mean it to the affect of "make Harshness just a normal action" or anything like that. Maybe a different variation on the same card? Kinda like WaW and IHAS are the same card, but different.

There are already cards that set Spirit = 0 or even inherent characters with high Spirit (Shadow, Yu Ling, etc.). And not to mention hard counters such as [card]Magic Shield[/card], [card]Counterspell[/card], etc. I think there are plenty of counters to Mages in this game. You just need to make room for 1 or 2 of those cards in your deck if the metagame is overflowing with mages

Re : About the mages being overpowered...

First rule of TCGs - you can't counter EVERYTHING. If you start countering every single good card out there you wont have any space left to put your strategy (if you have any other than "block the other player").

In other words your suggestion is null simply because a deck can't have 20 counter cards (2 for this, 3 for that, a couple for the other thing and so on).

"Of course they don't want that (adding more crystals to the game) to happen, because then the outrageous card prices would drop"

So MUCH stupidity in one sentence xD

Note: I mention adding 1 or 2 cards IF the metagame requires it. Not putting an entire deck of counters I normally do not care about counters except for cards such as [card]Sentence[/card] and generic counters like [card]Obesity[/card].

As a general rule, I accept that my deck will have weakness but generally have better win against most decks (i.e. Eclipse auto-loss against Quickdraw deck but great versus most decks). So I don't put hard counters for Quickdraw decks (i.e. [card]Fallback[/card]) because generally Eclipse will have good chance versus bigger pool of decks.

Well there is no point of playing mages with making Harshness a normal action or variation coz mages kinda have low health so making variation of this card kills mages i think...
