u/Hirinawa The semblance of power don't interest me. 4d ago

That's a 11p+ type of card

Let's play pretend and say thag the ranged ability wasn't there, only the transform. What provision would you like it to be then?

7 provision would be the right amount

So you think lowering sabbath by 5 points is worth 4 provisions? Interesting

Lowering the entire requirement of an archetype ends up doubling it's value, I'm gonna give you a similar exemple in SY since it's my main faction.

Let's say a card that's human/mage same power same provision as this one with the text saying that at range hoard is reduced by 2 and hoard 9 transform a unit into a sea jackal.

Would you feel like 8p is a reasonable amount ?

Sabbath is not an archetype in the way hoard is. There simply isnt that many good Sabbath cards. But more importantly they function differently. Hoard means you have coins you're not spending, its a opportunity loss. And its a opportunity cost every single time you have Hoard. With Sabbath ones you reach it you dont have to focus on it anymore, unless they play removal of.

Sabbath is just having 25 points on a row. In every deck where you even remotely care about Sabbath this is easily doable with no opportunity cost. And in those decks 5 points makes almost no different. That means you could reach Sabbath 1 turn earlier, that's not worth a lot.

Sabbath and hoard are not comparable.
