¿Alguien sabe porqué ahora TEPS está teniendo más éxito que Swath Storm? Y no lo digo sólo por LSV, sino también porque pasaron más TEPS al día 2. Tenía entendido que Swath era mejor baraja.

MioCid dijo...

Es la misma baraja :)

Umm, bueno sí, sólo cambian el finisher xD. De cualquier modo tenía entendido que grapeshot + swath en general es mejor que llevar 2 copias de tendrils por aquello de poder grapeshot + remand y porque a unas malas te quita un gaddock/canonista que te esté fastidiando.

Conste que esto lo digo un poco a ojo, ya que no he testeado las dos versiones.

¿Qué decis?

MioCid dijo...

Swathless usa menos slots para el finisher y necesita menos slots
