[SNIP LOKIS OPINION... Who wants to see those anyways... :] J/K Lokster:]]
I like tehse... A lot...:]
My biggest complaint is that, as I believe Skuzzy mentioned once, Urban
Brawl and Cermak are, well, backwards... Urban Brawl is way too easy, for
too many rep points, especially compared to Cermak...
But... These are great challenges as they eliminate the need for skills in
your deck, really, though at the same time they do the same for your
opponent... As Loki mentioned, it sucks to have your Dracoform or Maglock
turn into a Bug, but then, if you build a deck to utilize these challenges,
you're not going to be expecting to need too many of these challenges,
except on your opponents Objectives...
One trick taht a lot of people don;t seem to use is to wait until your
obective flips up before putting challenges on your own objective. taht
way you know which ones will be useful and which ones won't. Of course,
this doesn't work with your opponent, but...
Overall, this is the best set of challenges for a deck like Tinners first
deck, a "Piggy" deck... All Orks and Trolls... Who needs Technical
skills, or anything other than combat skills, when all you're doing is
fighting bugs or Urban Brawl teams...
But my favorite Ojectives are still the ones that make Awakened Critters
Bigger or Unsleazable (Operation Up and Over, Critter Hunt, and Amazonian
Hunt.) Much fun to see that Dracoform become a 14/12 :], or that nasty
Manticore become Unsleazable :].
