Do you like these cards? Is there a particular strategy you use with
them in your deck?
I'm of mixed opinions.
On the one hand, I can see a strategy on your part: as long as you
have heavy hitters in your deck, putting out these objectives will
mean not having to deal with any of the trickier challenges your
opponent holds and you can just hammer your way through.
On the other hand, I get a little miffed when I lay out one of these
and my oponent sends in a gaggle of his "Big Boys. Inevitably I watch
as the Maglocks, Booby Traps, or Dracofrom I drew and had to put down
as challenges in his path become a 6/7 (A1) or 8/8 (A2) and are
summarily slapped around like a red headed step-child. The only one of
the above three IMHO that even poses a threat is Cleanse the Hive as
you at least have the Queen with A3 lurking out there.
Personally, I haven't been playing with any of these objectives that
change a challenge into some sort of "critter" that must be fought. I
have put together a specific collection of challenges in my deck, with
certain requirements and abilities. I don't like seeing all the
challenges on a given objective then come down to a matter of
kicking-ass.
Anyways, enough prattling from me...anyone else have comments,
opinions or rants? :o)
