[Card] Muster for War

What is the feeling in Poland about the latest preview?
Is Muster for War balanced?



EDIT Budmilka: j'ai corrigé, sinon j'allais vomir...

EDIT: merci Bud, faudra que tu m'expliques comment on fait çà

There's no general consensus on this card. Many players believe Muster for War will solve the problem of starting. Now, the second player will be able to offset the advantage of starting player because he can't use this card at the beginning. But the other think this tactic card will be "must have card" in each deck now (and it's not good). Some saying "restricion and even ban!" You know, what's sad is this card does slaughter, massacre in combo decks...
Furthermore, other cards from this battlepack are also very strong.
And what do you think about it in France?

Hi! I wrote my feelings on the FFG forum the day I saw it. I also wrote to Lukas today by hoping he can do something like restriction or erratum.

About the whole pack : I don't see anything as powerful as Muster although there's good cards and new strategies.

I agree. That's what I meant. Muster is the most powerful but in fact there is no crap in this pack. New strategies are very interesting, and it enrich the game.

I agree with you, Argoth. I see the whole pack for proofreading and i see many powerful cards. But i think it's a good pack because the cards provide a new strategy.
Wait and see ! We can have unpleasant surprises with the very good players !

Have you already got a battle pack in France? In Poland, for the first time we have a delay. Apparently it will be not until December.

We have a delay too, we are still waiting for the 6th Battlepack of the Bloodquest cycle...

Realy? I bought it 2 weeks ago, in french

We have the same debate. Some people think the card is too powerful, other people think Muster is a good way to deal with the first player advantage. I think we need to wait and see it in real game.

N'attends plus et va le chercher en boutique : il est sorti depuis un bon moment déjà

What about the advantage if the first player plays Muster for War at his second turn after second player plays it at his first turn ?

Well, I'll tell you what. We started to wonder for a long time, how many people have tested the cards in FFG. They create a lot of games, and I'm sure they do not have enough testers and enough time to double check everything. At the same time, in Poland, about 300 players played tournaments up to twice a week. So, tell me, who better to understand the mechanics of the game? It's no wonder that there are unbalanced cards. Fortunately, as players, we can influence the game writting to FFG. Then, they make erratas, and everyone is happy
But regardless, it's the best card game I ever played

This is very good question. We still think about it, but we have to wait and see it in practice.

I just fell from my chair... ^^ That's amazing !! In Paris we have a tournament every 2 or 3 weeks with 10-16 players.

Argoth, how do you explain the great success of Warhammer : Invasion in Poland ?
In France, the game that gathering as much people is magic and nothing else.

Perhaps because you play only in Paris (or mainly in Paris). We play in Wroclaw, Warsaw, Cracow, Katowice, Częstochowa, Gdansk, Bydgoszcz, Torun, Zielona Gora, Ilawa, Lapanow, Lodz, Szczecin, Nowy Sacz, Wloclawek etc.
At the moment in our ranking there are 220 players, but a lot of people play at home with friends and family.

Firstly, a very good organization. 3-4 large events per year with interesting prizes. Secondly, good advertising and promotion. We have a thriving forum. We encourage other players to play. Thirdly, the game is great in itself. You can buy battlepacks together with friends and play only one faction. This allows you to spend less. Finally, the "Invasion" is a great opportunity to meet, talk, drink ... something . I don't know what else.

Ha... you need an opportunity to drink, man I guessed you were peoples able to have a drink without opportunities. That's a shame .

OMG. I knew it. I wrote so much, but everyone will pay attention only to the sentence about drinking...
