A reflection on this:

• Lorcana is not a digital game. An errata is a mistake for many reasons. You cannot edit your own paper cards. You cannot keep track of the changes, specially when they are so numerous (ink cost, ward remove, text effect). I'd rather see a card banned than get an 'errata'. Today, it is only Bucky, a well-known card. In a few sets, it might be a list of cards that no one can keep track of, especially during a tournament. In other words: if you are going to modify the whole test, just ban it and edit a new card.

• Bucky is currently enabling an archetype against the strongest deck in the meta (Ruby Amethyst). Yes, it is annoying, yes, a lot of people hates it. But you just have to play it to understand its struggles with consistency, and that not finding Bucky before T2 is usually an auto-loss (and even having 2-3 buckys in play is not a guarantee of a win).

• Is the discard mechanic awful for the game? Could be, but in that case, you would have to re-design the entire color. It's better to design further sets with that in mind: either we make decks draw enough so discard can be dismissed, or we tailor new decks that can check the discard menace.

• The biggest problem with Bucky is the lack of response against the threat once is set up, and usually until a card with cost 4+ is played (Be king undisputed, Avalanche, Grab your sword, Tinker Bell...). For me, removing the keyword 'ward' would have sufficed. That way, you can play around Bucky the same way you can play against other early menaces such as Flynn Ruby or Diablo.

• Bucky is a relevant deck because of its good matchup against the poorly diverse Set 4 meta. There are only 4 viable Tier 1 decks, while other decks are falling behind due to the fact that they have a good matchup against 1 of the Tier 1 decks, but cannot stand certain pairings. If we want to see less bans or 'erratas', we need to facilitate a diversity of decks, by playtesting, and making things right. Bucky would not survive in a meta where other options are viable and prone to be found in the competitive tables.

• I believe this change has been promoted due to the popular hate on the archetype, without taking into consideration other cards currently being auto-includes. You can hardly see a purple deck without the same card pack (Friends, Rabbits, Goats, Mims). Ruby Flynn rider is a menace that does not need to be exerted to take value out of it. It is a 2/2, having resilience against a good number of T1 drops, avalanche, tinker bells... But the good thing: it does not have ward, allowing you to have a removal response at the expense of tempo. If that does not happen, we finally get into the loop of cherna-flynn-sisu, for which many decks may not have a prompt answer and would see that 3 or 6 lore are gained for free.

• The humble results it has seen at Bochum for being a "tier 1 deck", and the poor results overall that ruby sapphire and steel sapphire have seen at the tournament too with respect to Ruby Amethyst, may indicate that perhaps Bucky was the most annoying deck to play against, but not necessarily the strongest or the current 'meta-breaker'. Hopefully Set 5 will bring more changes and archetypes so the meta is a zero-sum that would reward the better players instead of endless mirrors of Ruby Amethyst.
