To misquote Burglar Bill:

Afflicted with  but then you have to have balance I suppose.

Ha ... I hoped she would have Obfuscate and she has, beautiful overlap with Mata Hari (and also very useful in a couple of Mata Hari decks that I have on paper ... hell Matt, I have to bolt THAU onto Mata Hari in one of those decks with the Venificorum or Infernal Pact  ).
Anyway, I've been waiting for Durga for some time and I can't say I'm disappointed, she could be the queen of anti-Imbued tech too (Theft is sooo good in the post-Imbued world). Memories would suck as usual, though.
Oh well, better shut up, I'm rambling and free-associating, haven't checked out the newsgroup thread yet, but no doubt they are slagging her off as lacking votes or something.
Paul (refusing to build new decks until he has the new cards). |

"Yeah LSJ,why hasn't she got votes?!? Or Necromancy?!?!? Or Flight?!?!?!?! Why isn't she 12-cap?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Why can't she have an ability which wins me the game in one turn?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I hate VTES now, this one card means the game is doomed!!!!!!1111one!!"

I imagine the discussion went something like this:
[LSJ.1] Why don't you give Durga some votes?
[LSJ.2] To hard to become an anarch which would waste all of those disciplines. I'd piss off millions of anarch lovers.
[LSJ.1] You could make Orpheus happier if you gave Durga Necromancy.
[LSJ.2] Then he might notice how good Chimerstry is when you don't pay full cost for it and would want highly flexible Necromancy cards ... with no cost.
[LSJ.1] Durga seems to be lacking flight.
[LSJ.2] Does anybody even remember what any of the flight cards do anymore?
[LSJ.1] She could be a 12 cap.
[LSJ.2] Without PRE? Are you insane? Uh, don't answer that.
[LSJ.1] Durga is a good choice for one of those win in one turn decks. You know, turbo, et al. You should give her FOR, a capacity increase when she's in play, and NEC. And, the ability to play Baali cards.
[LSJ.2] What makes you think she can't win in one turn? Besides, the text box font would be so small that no one would know that she would combo with every card in the game.
[LSJ.1] Aren't people going to hate the game because of cards like this? Won't Durga doom the game?
[LSJ.2] I keep trying, but they keep playing.
[LSJ.1] Local 1111?
[LSJ.2] Should be played by !Trem with Rutor's Hands to see if it doesn't suck. But, Eric Chiang keeps travelling. |

I actually laughed so hard that a bit of sick came up.
I can just imagine LSJ having a Gollum-Smeagol conversation about these cards... |

[LSJ - Smeagol] Created a card we have, see!
[LSJ - Gollum] ...but the players...they will covert it, covert poor Durga Syn
[LSJ - Smeagol] No, they need Durga Syn, they would not 'harm' Durga Syn...would they...?
[LSJ - Gollum] Yes, they would breaks her. Breaks her and snaps her in two with her in-clan superior fortitude for a nine cap. Breaks her and snaps, snaps her and breaks her they would.
[LSJ - Smeagol] No! No! They must not!
[LSJ - Gollum] We must stop them. Smite them. Hurt the little playerses. They shall not gets their grubby mittses on our Durga Syn, our...precious...Durga Syn
[LSJ - Smeagol] No, that would make Durga Syn bad, bad for playerses and bad for rulesmongerses...
[LSJ - Gollum] ...bad for nasty little playerses...we will gives her Quietus! At superior!
[LSJ - Smeagol] NO! Not the Quietus! Bad for playerses! Playerses would shout at rulesmonger! Shout and hounds rulesmonger! Say bad things, hurtful things....'design' things...
[LSJ - Gollum] She can steals their equipments. Steals their trickets and weapons...steals their hearts...
[LSJ - Smeagol] Playerses never liked rulesmonger's heart in a jar, makes playerses happy and treats rulesmongerses better...
[LSJ - Gollum] ...steals them with first strikes she can...
[LSJ - Smeagol] ...playerses talk about first strikes all the time...must like the first strikes...
[LSJ - Gollum] ...dirty playerses likes first strikes, filthy playerses with their hearts and their rapes of mind and nasty, rotten bleed bounces...playerses need the love to like rulesmongers' things, learn to like Valereans and Thaumaturgies
[LSJ - Smeagol] Thaumaturgies? To...to find rulesmongers hearts...?
[LSJ - Gollum] Yeeees! Yees! Find rulesmongers' hearts. At 3 stealth! At range! In the second round! Filthy, nasty playerses won't breaks our card now will theys...our precious, precious card....

[LSJ - Gollum] Noooo ... to punish nasty hobbitses ... players must learn to like thaumaturgies ... thats why we createses hobbitses ... players must learn to love thaumaturgies.
[LSJ - Smeagol] But hobbitses is cruel, hobbitses breaks the game ... hobbitses is horrible ... theys is immune to sooo much ... the ring don'ts hurt them and theys are immune to the rapes and the temptations.
[LSJ - Gollum] Not immune to thaumaturgies though ... is they ... this was the plan all along ... soon players realise how good thaumaturgies is ... that why hobbitses exist ... make thaumaturgies good ... steal hobbitses blood ... kill them dead ... and no one bother how cute they look.
[LSJ - Smeagol] Nice thaumaturgies, nice Durga Syn ... kills hobbitses ...
