How did the FAQ turn out?

[The Happy Anarchist]

Surge is now good! Rasputina isn't the only one able to take advantage of it!

What did you guys notice?

[Raintar]

Surge is now GREAT!


Yeah, actually Rasputina is pretty much the only arcanist that doesn't benefit from it considering the only trigger you should be using is overpower :P.

It makes Pillars awesome for Raspi, as you only need a 3 to cast it, you can cheat a low :tomes to activate Surge and try improving your hand. As you can't cast Pillars multiple times per turn anyway, there is no reason not to use this, unless you are short on :tomes or control cards.

Pillars exist until destroyed: AWESOME! Wall of pillars by about turn 3 can completely change the game, or at least the terrain.

Red Joker can be used in a negative twist of fate: This was one of my biggest complaints (unvoiced since it was RAW) that now is awesome. I played two games tonight, where both times it came up, and both times the second flip was also severe... and both times resulted in a major 1-hit kill (Flesh Golem on a Steamborg then Taelor on a Flesh Golem) Now, no matter what, the Black Joker MUST be taken if flipped, even if positive. After that, the Red Joker CAN be used if flipped, even negative. After that, choose as normal.
