Why do people think this card is overpowered? It's easily one of the worst legendaries in the game. It's insanely slow, like molasses slow and has no effect on the board when you play it. There are many many better legendaries in this game.

You really can't throw this on the board and expect to win. With the amount of removal in the game, this card is a huge waste of brains, and getting it back is just to waste them more. At the very least, I wish it costed 1 less when it came back, or something, or had a rework.

This card is seriously underpowered for a legendary and needs a real ability. This is pretty much why legendaries that are expensive are pretty much considered niche in this game, but unlike things like DMD or maybe Zombot, this thing is slow and does nothing for you until you reach combat, assuming it survives, and 8 damage for 8 brains is just slow, slow, slow.

You can ramp, but there's so many better things to ramp to.
