Spite

Played against spite last night on normal mode. He seemed like a bit of a pushover. When i saw the regain 6 HP each turn on advanced that's when i realized I had it easy. lol. oooops 

How many heroes did you fight him with? My second game ever (with a team where 4 of the 5 were first-timers too) was against Spite with 5, so with a bunch of people not knowing the heroes having to discard 3 a turn, it was super brutal.

It's my personal opinion that Spite should be one of the last villains "new" players face.  ("New", because after facing 17 villains, you're probably not all that new anymore.)  Not because he's hard or complicated or boring, though these are all criticisms that have been leveled against him.  He should be faced last because he subverts everything people know about the game.  You have to have experience with the game to appreciate how he turns it around.  A completely new player facing Spite is going to be like, "What's the point of this game?" and maybe never play it again.
