allfail, I don't quite know my definition of best either. It's a pretty tough thing to define, exactly, imo. As for the rest of the post, I don't really know what you're suggesting. I don't accept the premise that KC is more game warping than Goons is, on average*, and I think it's exactly the kind of trap that (apparently, imo) a lot of players fall seems to fall into.
*Rereading, it seems you might not actually be saying KC is more game warping than Goons on average, in which case I don't disagree. *Given that* KC is really game warping, it's probably even more game warping than Goons is, *given that* Goons is game warping. That, again, is a completely useless definition of pretty much anything, to me, and I don't accept it as being practically useful for anything. Possession is really really game warping, *given that* it *is* game warping, but that doesn't mean much at all in evaluating its overall power level, imo.
"There certainly are many definitions of "best" which will put KC ahead of Goons;"
How about you list 3 or 4, and we can then discuss the merits of them, and/or whether or not KC actually is ahead of Goons, given those definitions?
