I see some saying the dev team needed time to know that Zabu was busted, and I really disagree. This card was clearly strong from the get go.

Thanks. I’m not saying don’t nerf these cards: I’m saying it really feels like a worrying couple of data points that I hope doesn’t become a habit.
I hope you’re right. Obviously I can’t say with any confidence that I know they did this on purpose. But isolating these two nerfs to drop the day after the season ends feels bad, and I hope doesn’t mean they are being shitty about it. Just worrying.
It was apparent to anyone who saw the card well before the actual data came in. I don’t buy for a second that the dev team didn’t know how good this card was.

The two most recent, yes. I hope that MODOK is a return to normal and this doesn’t become a regular thing, for sure.
I don’t have Zabu, and don’t really play silver surfer at all.
I’m not saying don’t nerf them. I’m saying this pattern of two clearly powerful (in fact OP) cards in a row being placed in the season pass to make money really sucks, especially since they waited until a day or two after Zabu couldn’t get them another dollar to nerf him. Put balanced cards in the season pass or nerf them before they can’t make you any more money. Just feels greedy, is my point.
If they valued balance over money, they would nerf these before they leave the season pass.
It was clear Zabu was busted weeks ago. Why wait until he leaves the season pass to nerf him? You’re saying they couldn’t have included this with the Leader nerf? It had to come a day after he couldn’t be purchased?
Stop what? This feels like a bait and switch to offer these cards and then nerf them. I’m all for balance, and would prefer they just not put busted cards in the season pass in the first place.
I’m all for making sure the game is balanced, and the nerfs fit. But this tweet showing a nerf to the exact two cards they put in the season pass seems to highlight a really worrying pattern of offering a card they should know is busted, then waiting until after the season is over and nerfing them. Just feels like a shitty thing to do.

I really hope you’re right. I agree that MODOK is not clearly OP, and would be surprised if he became a meta-shaper. But the precedent of offering a new, meta-warping card to get your money, just to swoop in and change it right after, is a bad one. Fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again.
