Um... defense won't help at all since Cursed Signets converts boons into wounds, not damage.

Yep. One should never depend on the preview article to even have a remote grasp of the rules.

This has been a sustained and consistent problem for years, at this point. It's almost endearing.

Well, they do say, "relatively low risk." I think they are insinuating that with 3 wounds, you can suffer a wound and still have 2/3 of your health left. With 2-3 defense on top of that, they can take some damage. Against Daqan, I think that it's a viable tactic. Against Waiqar and Uthuk...problematic. They become an easy kill against bane-inflicting armies.

If Cursed Signets had a "may" clause, it would be pretty good actually.

The ability to take a wound to not negate a turn is pretty strong.
But on the flipside, being spammed with banes is pretty easy to do.

if i see a Scion with Cursed Signets im just going to send my golem at it. Init3 skill...stun stun oh you have cursed signets? 2 wounds...

Pretty much. Without a "may" the card is incredibly self destructive. Rising Panic becomes two wounds. A 2x1 of Reanimate Archers with CI is suddenly turning every surge into a wound.

Hooray?

Definitely too risky

but I bet someone out there will make good use of it.

Maybe once we get a Resilient: Blight it will be awesome.

Take a wound from the other tokens, care not for the blightspam in the first place.

...then again would it even work that way? Resilient interrupts getting the token...but you never got a token due to signets

There is one upside to it though even with teh ability to spam banes to cause wounds: its separate from any attack causing the bane, so its independent of any accuracies. Cant use it to snipe characters.

Cursed is possibly okay with Fertile soil as you can possibly recover at least one of the wounds. But yes against Reanimate archers with combat ingenuity it's just a death sentence.
