-I think this goes back to something i said in an earlier post. It's not necessarily the card that is overpowered, but the player and the way they play the game.

For instance, as we all know i suck at this game. Even with the infusion of cards i have received from various kind people on these boards and elsewhere, i'm just not a Master-level competitive player. So, if i were to include one of these Depot things in my deck, i wouldn't be abusing it. Mainly because i don't know how.

As written, it is certainly more powerful than many/most other cards and can be used in a variety of winning strategies, so i would think it can be considered a hi-powered card.

Sure, i may use the thing and get a marine or two over to kill your crew once in awhile, but as far as it being a table-ending, boring-game-creating thing, i don't play that way. And that probably goes for any other card in my decks.

Other players may key in on its power and go apesh*t with it. Those players are no fun to play with, in my opinion, if it is just a friendly game. Tournament, i would expect them to utilize the cards to the full extent of the rules. But pick-up games or friendly meet-and-greet tournies like wolf is running? Bah, bad form i say.

Bottom Line: We've heard the saying "don't hate the playa, hate the game" way too many times. In this case, if someone is clubbing you over the head with this or any other card to the point of ruining the atmosphere of the game, i say hate the player.....Lobo
