So while a lot of us have come to the conclusion that Block 3 sucks (and there are definatly folks who think the contrary) I'd like to propose this little question to the Oofs community:
What cards would YOU like to see reprinted (in either it's origional form or a slightly less powerfull one: Lost Memories/Instant Success or Impetuous/Superiority) and why do you think they would be needed in the current boringness of the game?
Mine would be the following (in no particular order):
Contemplation: A powerful card it is true, but one that punished folks for NOT running attacks. That card alone almost defined a meta for awhile, forcing heavy control and mill decks to run cards such as Demon Hunting and Solider of Sparta just for the fact that they were attacks. In a 4-8 attack heavy meta, this could definatly raise some eyebrowls.
Lost Memories: Ok we get it, the card was powerful as all hell. But with the advent of Blinding Rage, Red Lotus, and Makai High Noble this card looses a lot of it's power, but is still a damned good card. It's symbols (minus evil) could use the little boost. And even it's stats are somewhat fair: 2/4 with a terrible block.
Burning Knuckle: I hear rumours that it'll be reprinted, and if that's the case then I'll be the happiest UFS player ever, as it's one of my favorite cards.
Overwhelming Strength: Holy crap this would be hilarious in today's enviroment. Imagine if OS was around when Ibuki was winning everything. Think it might've been a little different.
Deceptive Look: Life has no kill card minus Midnight Pleasure... That is all.
Some form of Xiangau: Just for my buddy Link. I don't think she has any legal copies block three.
Anti Discard: While I don't think discard will be as rampant as ol' 8HS Dhalsim's hey day, but with Jivatma's support and the emmergence of Earth as a mid tier symbol, I could see folks crying fowl in a few months.
Knocked Out!: YOU GOT KNOCKED OUT SON!
3 Check Throws that are good: Overhand Throw, Witch Hunt, Widow Maker, Piggyback Tulusion. All decent throws. I'm not saying go and reprint Chain Throw (I will personally smack whoever does), but give the Throw word some meaning again.
You Will Not Escape or some form of it that DOESN'T have Order: Now before you all cry for my lynching hear me out. Back when YWNE was out there was no way short of a Seal of Cessation once they came out to stop it. Now we have the following:
Seal of Cessation- Available to every symbol
Inhuman Perception- Air/Earth/Death
End it All- Air/Earth/Death
Lesser of Many Evils- All/Chaos/Death
Kung Fu Training- Uhh everything but Air, Death, and Chaos?
So as you see, there's a lot of ways to stop it, and nowhere near as many ways to recur it as there was back in the day.
Mystic: I love Mystic. I always have and I always will. Being able to pick up a card from yer RFG as a form was great. And with the Form Negation/Anti card adding we have now (Tough Outer Shell, Oral Dead, Chester's Backing) there's actual ways to stop it.
Anywho's that's a decent enough list. Whatca all thoughts on the matter?
