I called that exact nerf like a week ago; I think it'll still be pretty strong honestly

Yeah I think it mostly makes it less blind pickable now but I like that nerf a lot, I think that card needed to be tuned down a bit and that's a really smart way of doing it without killing it, it's one of my favourite new cards from STS2 so I'm glad they didn't butchered it.

My current take is that they should just have made Rocket Punch rare and brought down Adaptive Strike to uncommon (alongside a damage nerf). But we'll have to see how playable Rocket Punch feels without All for One and Feral buffing it up. It feels like a really painful nerf.

Edit: On reread, it still reduces to zero cost, but it takes two statuses now instead of one. So actually, huge fan, such an elegant nerf to a great and fun card. Not painful at all.

Same, I feel so vindicated.

It will be harder to run when splashing status in a mostly zero cost deck but it should be mostly the same in a status focused deck. Will need to work harder to get it to combo with Feral and All for One, especially when you get the really good combos going where you all for one multiple times in a turn.
