I honestly see nothing this adds to the game except a large dose of luck. There are villain cards that are more powerful, certainly- Citizen Dawn's ongoing and equipment wipe, Baron Blade (VF) and Friction's cards that allow their entire team to play cards, and about half of Iron Legacy's deck come to mind. But Fickle Fans... It just feels like one of those "Well, looks like I rolled a 1, time to roll a new character." or an "Oh look, I got a 20, I win on no merit of my own." moments whenever it comes out (yes, I understand character building can improve or mitigate the implications of criticals, that's not the point of discussion here). The others- while quite annoying- at least feel like something that's part of the natural flow of the game, and can truly be prepared for. But the only way to prepare for Fickle Fans is to be in the losing position... It is a card that REWARDS YOU FOR DOING POORLY, and PUNISHES YOU FOR DOING WELL, and that should NEVER be the case of ANY card. I may dread when one of those heavy hitters comes out of the deck, but at least they don't make me think "well, if I had done worse up until this point, I'd be winning right now".
Now don't get me wrong; overall, I love Wrath of the Cosmos. Both the heroes and both environments are great, and Infinitor and Deadline were both very enjoyable villains to fight. Even Kaargra Warfang's deck seems very unique and fun- aside from the fact that it has two copies of Fickle Fans in there. But those two copies of that card have instantly made her the worst villain for me to play- even moreso than Dark Watch Gloomweaver and Akash'Buta, both of whom I I find drag on because of their high HP, and moreso than the Vegneful Five which I dislike because of all the extra shuffling that's required, but all of which I still enjoyed to some degree. But Kaargra? Kaargra is the first (and hopefully only) villain I can truly say that I dislike fighting against; the two cards are that bad, and I'd be tempted to try simply playing against her with those two cards removed- if it wasn't for the fact that her deck is already so small, and removing any cards would mean she'd have a deck even smaller than the environment deck. I might just try it anyways.
I'm really curious as to what the playtesters and admins thought of this card; am I crazy with my assessment of it? Or is this truly the worst (or at least amongst the worst) cards in the game?
