Having dropped back into the silver shields and going back to legendary... AND hitting my 5000th PVP win...
I have all the right to make the statement; MYSTICAL IS OP AF!!!
I assume mystical will never get the nerf it deserves due to majority of the legendary players (and i assume the developers themselves) using mystical to get to that position.
We must also look at how many mystical events we have had in ratio to every other theme.
I am getting so tired of seeing a level 4 sexy nun randy with a level 4 pope timmy.
Am i the only one that feels this way?
Or is this thread going to fall on deaf ears like the others regarding mystical?

The way I look at it, any colour combination should stand a chance against any other with well-levelled cards... that does not happen right now.
Given that situation, the worst problem is the lack of acknowledgement or even feedback regarding the issue. This is toxic for the community, with some players feeling they are profiting from the current situation and other feeling damaged by it.
The lack of feedback is very worrying, since it means the issue is likely to continue indefinitely and a game that we all love will end up becoming too toxic to enjoy.

Mystical is the most powerful faction right now. Also, don't expect quick balances. Even if the card events didn't tell you that right now they're trying to sell more mystical legendaries right now.there are some reasons.
1. Mystical is not as OP as it feels. It depends on card combos and a lot of the characters are only good in groups. Also, it's more spell dependent. If your cards come up in the wrong order, you don't look good but the opponent doesn't see why.
2. The legendary problem. At my level (~3000 legendary) mystical is only op if you have at least two legendaries at level 3. Mystical's legendaries are harder to counter than other factions. (For example, my lvl 3 Mecha Timmy can be lightninged or Clyded). But nerfing something that people paid $200 to get is a good way to lose paying customers. So Redlynx has a conundrum - how to allow those level 3 (and 4!) mystical legendaries to continue to be powerful without flipping everyone else the bird. The answer is - don't reply to these threads and make it worse.
3. When someone outplays you in Adventure or Sci-fi, you lose one bar. When someone outplays (or outpowers) you in mystical, they hallelujah and you lose three bars. Even though they already nerfed Hallelujah, I think it's still the second most powerful spell in the game - behind Unholy Combustion, another Mystical spell! But how do you nerf that?
4. The current meta is all about giant cards. Mystical is great here too - not only do they have the best removal (Unholy Combustion) but the best counter to that removal (Pope Timmy). And the heals - which only they bring - enhance the power of your Randy's and non-sheriff Cartman's.
5. The problem is, all of this is actually much closer to a knife's edge than you'd think. Take out the huge cards and suddenly Pope Timmy is no longer op and Unholy Combustion doesn't have as many great targets. Take out the bruiser meta and suddenly the heals aren't as good. So you're left with nerfing the Legendaries, which will make people want their money back. So Redlynx has painted themselves into a corner - a clearly OP faction with no easy way to nerf it.

yea and unlike yesterday where i plummeted due to the card list, today I shoot up the ranking again, back to where I got with my main deck... but this isn't my main deck.... I am using a deck that is mostly half leveled mystic cards a HHC and a max 3 Medusa.... I mean level 3 choirboy, level 4 hermes kenny smashing everything..... its only base level 4 its not powered up.... oh ya UH blowing up very annoying cartmans and LB anything else annoying that get in my way... not even using any heals. really is comedy value how easy Mystic is that half powered up sexy nun and popes stomp stuff. even using a level 2 ninjew....

Did he just admit to being a deranker? Someone with 4,000 to 5,000 wins should not be hanging out with silver shields.Originally Posted by TAMISH2-ZN Go to original post

Why yes i did derank
I did that for an entire day! I wanted to fool around with the silver guys to see if there really were real legendary players in the normal ranks...
I was dead right, but, then I realised that most of the people in the 45-50 rank was also from legendary and got dropped down.
So I didn't wanna stay in silver so ranked back up in a single sitting.
Playing in the silver shields is so boring.
Unless you have an inferiority complex to which you must win all the time; then enjoy. but for us normal people, we love a challenge.
My win/loss rate is like 1 win for every 3 losses

stop complaining about mystic and use it if its that OP. Why would you want to use weaker cards? People just like to complain. Not everything in life is equal. There is going to be "better cards" or a best theme no matter what.Even if they nerfed the crap out of Mystic then another theme and other cards would be OP and get complained about so deal with it and adjust dont complain and hope they adjust it so it is easier for you when you can make it easier yourself if you used mystic
