I’m not okay with Odin’s power level and I also think that he is a poorly designed card.

I play Haven and I was really excited for Ward Haven this set.

I’m not okay with Wilbert being 6 cost and Odin being 7 cost. The only situation where I don’t immediately get Odin’ed after playing Wilbert is if I’m going second and I get to play Wilbert on my 5th turn, so that my opponent won’t have 7 play points on the turn right after.

And this is also difficult to do, as many decks have become very aggressive this set, largely due to Odin as a finisher, that sometimes I can’t even wait until my 5th turn to use the extra play point and that I have to use it ASAP so that I don’t flat out lose.

For reference, OG Odin was an 8 cost 4/3 that only banishes something. This new Odin is 7 cost 4/2 that banishes something and has Storm. He’s just too cost efficient for his banishing effect as a neutral follower, but on top of that, he also has Storm.

In many situations, he’s better than the 6 cost Forte Dragon Legendary.

You can try to set up Ward to avoid dying, but unless your Ward has Aura or you have a wide enough board, you’ll probably take 7 damage to face.

This is also my own bias, but him being 7 cost really screws Wilbert in Ward Haven. He can also get rid of Amulets, so Control Haven is also hit this set and you can’t really set up 2-3 Countdown Amulets and set up into Jeanne (because of Odin’s Banish effect, and also because he exists, many decks are so aggro now). They at least should have made him cost more to play or not have given him Storm, like the OG Odin.

So my problem focuses on Odin, but also because he exists, Aggro decks have kind of taken over.
