Balance Thread

If you've got a nice miasma/magic staff/mountain/tower type stall set up (ie your typical Miasma deck) then Autogun, even with the permaskip, would be a quite useful card. Once it's down it's Death Sentence of 7 or less turns. And if it dies (to break their Death Sentence) then you get to have your turns again, by which point you'll likely have gained the mana/drawn enough cards to play another one. And even though you skip your turns, you can still use abilities/cast spells etc during the opponent's turns.

The Allying requirements simply make it feasible for use outside of a Miasma stall deck - in that in scenarios where you don't have complete lockdown (most of the allying would be from gens) it's still useful.

Think of it like this: 'Give opponent a lifetimer, you can't play any more entities after this turn'

I think it's probably balanced as it is. It's just not being played right.

I agree that Energy Surplus should be reduced to 12, or possibly even 11. Remember that it doesn't even cycle very well - later game it'll replace itself with a generator, but it'll also force your next draw to be a generator, which is pretty rubbish later on anyway. It's only good for catching up after Mana Screw, which I'd like to be as cheap as balancingly possible.

Exo-Suit: Balanced? Please compare to EXP-in-a-Can. That also snipes the enemy's robots. Should probably cost 43, or at least 33.

Damn getting distracted while typing, people sneak in replies...
Anyway, For Exhaust Port Torpedo, changing it to target any effect would make it a 1.7 mana universal Effect D which would be broken and despised. It would be like a Burn Burn which didn't cost the extra 50 life, and on top of that could potentially cantrip... it'd be the Ancestral Recall of Effect D...
