This. 10x this. Make him T7 or make him tribe locked. This single card has distorted the entire meta.

You will do anything but remove BonerEnder from the pool huh? Not even bump it to tier 5 so you can’t Eyes it?

Hey, can you guys add “Teron Gorefiend + Greybough + The Great Akazamzarak” to the ban list in UD lobbies for duos. San’layn Scribe + bonerender interactions are really toxic.

Thank you for leaving Bone render, he’s so much fun. But why are the matches so long in between turns in duos.

I am also surprised that they haven’t fixed the reroll bug in which, when you reroll a hero, the re-rolled hero only has its picture instead of the picture that has been favoured

Noted, thank you - we’re reviewing this.
so… “get your golden buddy” on Jailer, if thats removed…how is that gonna work now? xD
thanks for taking the time to read our comments. Have a wonderful week all the best! 
oh boo hoo. that is the only thing that makes those heroes even playable with those tribes.
The battlegrounds duos turn timer is way too short again. Please at least go for a happy medium.
The turn timer was too much reduced, I feel like there is barely any time left and sometimes the game simply bugs and doesnt initiate the battle phase.
The Event: Realease the Raptor daily mission play 5 “choose one” cards does not count in battlegrounds even though it does not specify a game mode, still said 0 out of 5 after a decent Quillboar run.
