I have been waiting a long time for a card like this. This is such a powerful card and it will make all those high cost lower events and allies worth running again.

... it would ruin the game for makeing it to easy. Like typing some cheat-code in a PC game.

IMHO it costs too much. Maybe in a mono [lore] deck...

DoesnÂ´t cost too much. First time you use it, you already earn 1/3 of his cost (and that assuming you only play 1 card).
Heck with the proper setup he can earn himself fully back the next round. I do agree though that setup would properly require 2 lore heroes to be effective but thatÂ´s still not too bad all things considered.

Sadly nerfed in the latest FAQ to only reducing the next card of the chosen sphere by 1, now a meh sort of card.

It's still not bad if you choose to go mono-lore (Which is getting more and more support right now), as it's the only way to get an economy boost in the Lore Sphere

Had to be nerfed. With the proper setup he could be used to mill all the way through your own deck and all your co-playersÂ´ decks and get everything down on the table in just 1 round (and no, I canÂ´t remember the excact combo)

The problem is it will take you 3 uses to make back the 3 you used to play him. In most games you are not going to see value from him.
