Rework or rotate grim day + embargo

[sage jetty]

Both of these have become a meme card, and especially as embargo is special, require buffs or should otherwise be removed.
Suggestions:
Make embargo 3k to remove the opponent's card draw next turn also
Make embargo remove 3k next turn instead
Make embargo add grim day to hand to increase the effect of the loss of kredits? 🤔

Grim day:
Include hq. Still no one would use it but it'd be at least slightly better

If anyone has any better ideas add them below.

!embargo

!grim

Or we could simply make both 1k cheaper

[opal forge]

Nah

For the embargo simply make you draw a card when using it.

Grim day is fine assuming it's a 1k card, in the early game this prevents the enemy from attacking you (effective against aggro)

[sharp kestrel]

Make embargo be: Enemy units cost a kredit more to operate for 3 turns.

This affects units added, deployed etc.

[opal forge]

Just have Grim Day + Guards

[opal forge]

Would be cool, but I think this could be another card perhaps.

Bruh

[opal forge]

Not to mention that you can stack the effect

[unborn karma]

Embargo actually has popped up in a deck here or there. Being able to cripple an enemy turn can be very powerful so buffing it probably to risky. Like you don't want to see a meta based around it. Also adding draw denial is a hard no as that effect has being effectively deleted from the game and is super unlikely to return

[opal forge]

I'm saying you draw a card after using embargo.

[sharp kestrel]

Check TOW

[unborn karma]

that was in response to OP

[opal forge]

This card doesn't have much point, you pay 2 credits so the enemy doesn't receive two credits and you are down one card.

[unborn karma]

But yeah generally I would not expect buffs to stuff that is like able to mess with enemy kredits

[opal forge]

😧

[unborn karma]

if they are to good then it's nightmare

[opal forge]

So at this point it would be better to rotate or do a rework

[unborn karma]

Well again embargo has shown up a couple times here or there

it's just not a meta driver

Like both will probably rotate at some point like every card

[opal forge]

I at least have never seen anyone use embargo.

[unborn karma]

It's rare (and most often in combo decks) but it has appeared in certain decks that want to cripple you on a specific turn

[opal forge]

Probably

[sharp kestrel]

@unborn karma Embargo update on TOW, annoying in Fall of the Philippines but not OP meanwhile it's somewhat bad in Battle of Guadalcanal

[opal forge]

Now that you think about it, embargo is pretty lethal against Japanese self-denial decks.

[sharp kestrel]

The OP increase is way more crippling

[sage jetty]

Wat da hail

[midnight chasm]

The day they put it back in I'm playing the sickest discard deck

[sage jetty]

Perhaps we should combine the cards then, or have embargo add grim day to hand? That way it's not dangerous it just replaces itself

[midnight chasm]

If you time it against War Machine or other setups, you gain one turn of tempo on them

[unborn karma]

It won't happen

[sage jetty]

And the two cards could work together quite well if combined

[unborn karma]

draw denial is dead

[celest tulip]

I think that 1k embargo with its current effect is fine

[midnight chasm]

Worth it. I'm not sure it would change much other than making it a good card (it would reach 100% efficiency)

[regal sigil]

Thats really not the type of card that you want to be strong lmao

[midnight chasm]

In my opinion, it's less problematic than Black Watch

It's special, so it's unlikely you'll get to use it twice in a row and the effect is temporary. Plus, it doesn't change the kredit slots, so you're really trading card advantage for tempo in the board. At that point, it's just strong, like Production Order

[cedar stone]

@sharp kestrel bring more stupid overpowered american cards to play 😂😂😂

[livid hatch]

You know Embargo was rotated before

This was brother in arms and came back on March 19 #balance-change-reveals message

[bleak flume]

Embargo: the enemy loses a kredit slot

[celest tulip]

That would be broken

T2 kred denial

[sharp kestrel]

Are we forgetting the 2022 incident

[regal sigil]

was it that long ago lol

[bleak flume]

Not at all, I’m fondly remembering KD
