Quietus is Broken

Looking at all the exciting posts on the newsgroup about Dominiate bounce, weenies (through transfers) & Heart being too broken, I thought I'd step in and talk about what is clearly the most broken discpline in the game -- Quietus.

Evidence of brokeness:

• NAC 08 was won by an Assamite deck.


• Inflamed by this, Matt Morgan went back in time an entire year. He then spent an the next 12 months trying to win a a tournament with an Assamite deck. After 12 months of no success he finally cracked on the right deck in time to lend it to Ben Peal to win the NAC & start the whole time travel thing again.


• Matt's deck took time to get to the point where he felt he could play it against mere mortals - this included reducing the Quietus cards to 8. Peal, on the verge of godhood, decided to remove 2 more overpowered Quietus cards to give everyone else a better chance of winning.


• 10,000 Finnish players can't be wrong.


• The Path of Blood website has been placed on the CIA watchlist as 'Promoting dangerous thoughts of aggression'.


• Ben Peal decided to break the discipline of Obfuscate by removing silly, weak, inferior, dominate & adding Quietus -- the superior killing discpline. This was in order to win -- no nice guy business from him.


• The winners of the NAC & EC 08 used zero bounce cards in their decks & only 3 Pentex Subversions.

But 6 Quietus cards.

Fear them, they hide in shadows.
