Creature Cleric

Dim, 1 flux: Other target creature heals 2 health.

0/2/3/3/0



I would play these guys even if the ability was 2 flux instead of one, or 1 flux like now, but healed only one health. Am I the only one who thinks the ability might not be balanced?

I don't see why. Is mosslight overpowered? It heals 4.

I've been playing with and against Osin Faith Healer quite a bit, and I agree that it's just a little bit too good. However, the proposed changes are too harsh. I wouldn't play it if I had to pay a flux to only heal 1 health. The 2 for 2 deal is better, but still a bit much.

I think the best way to balance Osin Faith Healer is to give it 1 less health. It's not much of a nerf, but it would be sufficient. It's the 1 health that keeps Caprakin Warlock, a similar card, in check. This change would allow Osin Faith Healer to be powerful, but just a little more easily countered.

How about someting like:

"Osin Faith Healer gains a prayer token at end of round.

1, dim: heal X damage to target creature where X is the number of prayer tokens on Osin Faith Healer. Remove all prayer tokens from healer."

This way it could be used to heal 2 only every other turn, or one every turn, or even 3 for 1 flux every 3 turns and so on.

I agree my original suggestions were bad, making the ability too costly or weak.

I still don't see why you think the card is overpowered? Compared to mosslight... please explain?

Mosslight must be adjacent to creature being healed. This means you either need to run the Mosslight into a contested area of the board where combat is occurring or withdraw the damaged creature.
Osin can sit back away from danger and heal from a distance. This is a big advantage to me, even if it heals less than Mosslight.
