-Opponent is playing Hugo. Hugo vitality > 24. GG, Shinji.
-CSS > Spike in every way. Spike doesn't NEED anything to back it up, except momentum and foundations to pass checks. CSS, on the other hand, will always win the game, where Spike may not. Spike doesn't have to go through, so long as it eats up enough of the opponent's resources (foundations) for it to be possible for a second Spike to finish the job.
-No Mems, EDD, and Scroll DO see play. Pay more attention before making comments like that, please.
-My math might be bad, but isn't 3HX, where X is always greater than or equal to your opponent's maximum vitality, better than 4H24 if unblocked?
-The possibility my opponent is using Hugo doesn't disuade me from running one of the greatest attacks ever printed
-Why in the Hell are we comparing the two anyways? Are you guys forgetting that when CSS was around, we had access to ADDES SYNDICATE?! Seriously, that card ALONE is enough to shift an argument.
-Sure, they do see play, but not nearly enough to make them matter, ESPECIALLY when Chinabox and Chester's see MORE play. I don't know if Family Heirloom is still OMGAMAZINGCARDLOL, but it shares 2 symbols with Spike, and thanks to all these really hawtsauce assets and terrains we have, I'd imagine Heirloom should be back in action sometime soon. Oh, and even if Scroll does see play, its Death enhance not only requires Death character, but it won't stop a Feline from both Multiple'ing and making sure they cannot be discarded.
-I don't think people would say Feline is BETTER than Concealed, rather, the two have similar "I hit the table and win ur gamez" scenarios.
But like I'd mentioned, a large part of why Concealed was banned was because it could be backed (off-symbol) by Addes Syndicate, which as we know, was the most broken card of its time (debatably, ever made). Addes stopped any "balanced" R cards, such as KFT, Cessation, etc, at pretty much no cost, seeing to it that CSS sailed right on through.
Feline was released right around that time, but as I said, I don't think anybody would've thought that Feline was better than CSS, and for obvious reasons.
