With imminent release of dirty tricks https://fumbbl.com/help:Card+list is it time to reasses inducement strategies? To me, dirty trick cards look quite powerful and worth taking. But are they better than a babe? Are 3 dirty cards better than a wizard? Or do Magic Cards rule supreme?

And which is best new dirty trick card?

Chop Block, Greased Shoes, Illegal Substitution, Pit Trap, Witch's Brew.
Trampoline Trap: Will the player scatter and if so, can he fall out of the pitch and get beaten by spectators?

Overall best card is Illegal Substitution I say.

either pit trap or illegal substitution look the most deadly in my opinion. I could see an elf team using the sub to win a game in a tourney.

Illegal substitution does look amazing. Get a key player back on the pitch after Apothecary or regen action, claim an outright numbers advantage or really screw with the other guy's stalling screen near the endzone.

It's going to be fantastic.

Jeez, gotta look what cards I don't find powerful,

7, 9, J, Q... all others are potential game winners..

makes me wonder if that deck isn't going to screw too much with the balance of the game.. .

The thing to remember is that while those cards could be potential game winners:

a) they would only have that big an effect in fairly specific situations, not all of which are going to happen in every game.
b) you might not get the card that matches the situation in which you need a card.
c) if you're already ahead and likely to win the game, and you have that game-changing card when the right situation comes up, it isn't changing much.

Well it does in a sense but it really depends on your definition of balance as I don't think this edition is balanced particularly well anyway, if that's what you are looking for?

but actually Trampoline Trap is even better than Greased Shows because it can put the ball carrier out of scoring range.

Trampoline trap could be funny to use on a player near the sideline or corner..

Yeah I played a TT league with the cards and Trampoline Trap is soooo much fun.

Is it better to induce Morg or 9 dirty trick cards?

Depends on the opponent but 9 cards reads awesome.
But this is FUMBBL. If we find out after playing thousands of games (something which the BBRC couldnt do) that the cards imbalance the game, we exclude this part of the rules from the competitive divisions.

Isn't the limit 5 for the most number of cards that can be purchased?
