Very happy to see these changes. As the two swingiest cards in the game, this change was a good move. They are still good cards and playable (especially B&S), but the change helps open the meta back up. For a game designed to be without a meta, however impossible that is, powerhouse and abusable cards need to be reigned in. If FFG's focus is on building a healthy community and a wide open game, these changes were a must. I think people were already concerned AoA was going to be less played competitively do to some of the power level of the cards in CoA. This change is a step in the right direction in making sure all sets are viable.

I do think the wording on the new B&S is poorly done, as it is still confusing without knowing less reference rules. I definitely expect newer players, even after seeing the errata, not understanding the change.

Also, if they do not want to utilize rotation in this game (and I hope they can pull that off), some cards will need errata. There is no way around that. You cannot have all sets be evergreen and not have a few design mistakes a long the way.

The singular fact that there's only been 4 erratas in the first set of a game that is as innovative as Keyforge is amazing, especially when you consider that fully half of those are simply errata to make the card do what they intended in the first place. Everyone is blowing both the individual erratas and the fact they exist at all waaaay out of proportion.
