These will indeed boost my confidence for the new Tau Warlord!

In special for the Tau players, get all those Warpacks!

Kauyon Strike and Bork'an Recruits will be powerfull with Aun'Shi

Thanks Killax. In my haste the other night obviously I missed this thread. My bad.

No worries, they are great cards however! I guess the next cast will include them with an Aun'Shi discussion.

As mentioned in other topics both here and on Cardgamedb, I think the expensions so far have shown us how powerfull the Tau will be and how much their faction will change away from their initial apperance in the Core set.

I do like this change however I also feel Tau has been getting all the goodies so far.

My personal review on what we know and have seen in the Warpacks:

AM: Interrogator Acolyte, good card has some good synergy with Straken and very good synergy with Cotaez, however it still seems like a balanced 3 drop just being 2/2.

AM: Muster the Guard, excellent card that is very powerfull during the first turn. However it still takes a card so probably is limited to the likes of Cotaez being able to run heavy AM in a profitable way.

AM: Noble Deed, mediocre card because it's limited to AM units, where with a card like this you'd prefer saccing early drops with high ATK low Health...

Orks: Deathskull Lootas, for 4 seems to be very limited to the AM/DE match up where you actually need to destroy the Support cards. Mediocre at best with 2/3 stats.

Orks: Smash'n Bash, great card but also very situational again because the Warboss can't be on the same planet :( .

DE: Uber Grotesque, straight up worse as Tormentor. Not saying this card can't see play but if it does it's because of the lack of 5 drops within the DE faction, not because it's so great...

DE: Visions of Agony, balanced card but only worth playing with the new DE Warlord.

DE: Archon's Palace, excellent card, balanced because it's unique (luckily).

CM: Death Guard Infanrty, currently straight up worse as Khorne Berserker...

CM: Heretek Inventor, mediocre for the lategame but not really abusable so far.

Eldar: Vaulting Harlequin, I see no real need for including this card so far. Have to admit it's good with Attachments.

Eldar: Empower, good card, probably worth it to include into many Eldar decks.

Eldar: Starcannon, to limited for now...

Tau: Piranna Hunter, good way of gaining cards but not a staple.

Tau: Aun'nui Prelate, incredible card, direct way to assassinate hero's.

Tau: Homing Becon, incredible card with Aun'Shi but also with pretty much any future Tau Warlord.

Tau: Bork'an Recruits, incredible card

Tau: Kauyon Strike, incredible card with Aun'Shi. As it is not limited to 1 and also has two shield icons...

Tau: Blacksun Filter, not impressed but more attachments so a step closer to going full Tau faction...

Neutral: Calamity, good card but I don't feel it's enough to have a huge impact on the current state of the game.
