No, no guys, you miss the obvious solution: Season Ruins!
(I'm kidding here, this is a horrible idea. No, i mean it, everytime somebody makes a joke like this, somebody else will say "Maybe that's not so bad.". But it is bad. Very bad.)
Seriously, I'm not going to tell anyone what to do. I'd just like to design my fan cards freely and pleasing for my taste. Of course, in this set Asper has an equal say so if most people are opposed to a Seasons Looter or Asper isn't convinced it's a good idea anymore, we might do something else. But only because you guys have been so positive towards the set
Well, i always try to change my mind when people point out things i didn't notice yet. Take Snow Witch. Until it was asked, i didn't really notice how it can increase the P1 advantage. Of course, that's something every Season card needs to care about, but it's worse with a junker. That seems like such a dumb mistake, given how important it was to me to make sure every player can play his opening buys in Spring. I still don't think Snow Witch needs changing for now, but it's going to make me look at the card a little different in the future.
That said, i'd like to wait until the Looter is revealed before we discuss it. By then everybody will be able to talk knowing the actual card. Just, to answer eHalcyon's question:
Is it crucial for this card to be a Looter instead of just a Curser? Could it potentially use other junk, like Estates or Copper?
I think it's crucial in the same sense it's crucial to Marauder or Cultist - Curses would be too strong, Estates are too few, Coppers too many. Of course, there's always the option to replace it with a different attack, but that's another card. Again, i don't feel i should reveal too much on my own, so it would be nice if we could postpone this a bit.
