Love your take @beffeater! And I knew you'd come for me about Runeslinger ;)
I'll think about this more, and may adjust them, but I was very thoughtful on where I placed them. However you do make a good case and I'll make sure to think about these two some more.
Thanks!
Also it's important for me that you are a master in knowledge and perspective in the game. I only take this as a part of entertainment and generate some point of views. Maybe I tier them up because for some $$ I can counter much expensive formations... In this example, Runecrafter advanced the whole damage of my team, as I was expecting Tofu...
Take care!
Yep so in that battle Rune Crafter shows his #1 use case, which is countering Mycelic Slipspawn. While that's a cool use case given Slipspawn is a highly used card, I don't think it justifies Rune Crafter's cost, because frankly he doesn't have any other use cases in my opinion.
To me it's similar to Suidae Shaman, who pretty much has 1 utility in the game at the moment and that's to hard-counter Inevitable. That's why both he and Rune Crafter are in the C Tier in my opinion.
