I was playing Tess on Monster Hunt recently and came across the Whisperer. After my deep sigh of disgust on this auto win, I was shocked to see that the mechanics have changed.
Upon using a Zero cost Small Rock, the echoed spell came back costing 1. I even had Sticky Fingers, so the cost should have technically been Minus 1. I checked another 1 cost spell, Sinister Strike, and it also echoed as a 1 cost spell when it should have been 0. And yet, a 1 cost spell echoes at 1 cost, thus no change. So you’re penalized for using a 0 or less cost Echo.
Sorry for the ignorance of my question, but have all Echo cards across the game changed like this?
If not, this is the single laziest “fix” on a monster that I’ve ever seen. I mean, we all knew Whisperer needed to be fixed, but literally just changing the rules for one monster is horrible. The better fix would to have just made his HP “All YOUR spells have echo” rather than both players.
Speaking only about Monster Hunt, it’s amazing that Whisperer got this pathetic attempt at a fix and garnered attention, but Gnomenapper was left alone.
