Alright guys, I have a question, has anyone else encountered this. I got two of the starter decks, and I was playing as my mane, Twilight and my brother was Rarity…
Let me playout a game play so you can see if we are doing something wrong…
He goes first
On his turn, with his two action tokens he summons two different friends of different powers and complete his problem…. gaining 1 point for the confronting the problem and 1 point for bonus…. That means in a Single Score phase he gains 2 points because according to the rule book in Step 2 “If you are fulfilling the requirements, you successfully confront that Problem and score 1 point.” and Step 3 says “Check if you are the first player to successfully confront the Problem if you are, score that Problem’s bonus point.”
Because he scored 2 points in a single score phase he can flip over Rarity… Rarity’s bonus is “Inspired”. According to the rule book, “Inspired, at the start of your Main Phase, look at the number of cards on the top of an opponent’s deck equal to the number of cards you have in play with this keyword. Put each of those cards on either the top or the bottom of that player’s deck in any order”... Which we gathered, if he has 2 inspired cards in play, then at the start of his main phase he can control my next 2 cards. Because he can control the “Flipped” card, he controls the result of all Faceoffs… As well has the ability to remove big cards that could change the game. In his starter deck he got 4 cards + Rarity that have inspired…. which after Rarity is flipped its a snowball effect because Rarity controls the game…. Having an Inspired herself.
From this point on meaning (My second turn) I am being controlled by Inspired and will lose...
This played out over 25 games of losing every time...
I have played TCG before, both magic and wow... I have won tournaments so I feel I understand TCG/CCG at some level... I cannot find a way to prevent, this from happening.... I mean it takes 2 of my turns to even get a trouble maker out there and by that time he has already no matter want, have completed his problem... and flipped over Rarity.
My question is this… Am I misunderstanding Inspired? It feel that inspired is way too overpowered because that power can prevent their opponent from ever getting any cards to counter it.
