Okay, so we all know that the  culture is getting very insane with their overpowered and non-culturally reinforced cards. What can be done to make the culture less broken?
My opinion, Orkish Smith has got to go. He is the keystone to the entire culture, and with him gone, the culture will be powerful, but nowhere near as broken. |

Orkish Smith and Frenzy of Arrows should be X-ed IMO.  |

The Smith has to go.
Frenzy of Arrows should go, too.
And I would not be upset to see the Lackey and Destroyers and Usurpers disappear, too.
After that, they shouldn’t be so broken. Maybe a few more should go, but the Smith really must be X-ed.
Much as I hate to say it, since I use him myself. (use, not abuse...)
Edit: NO LINK’d "hate" |

Where’s the ban the culture button?
Banning Goblin Hordes would bring down the culture. I think that we need to ban Orkish Smith and Gothmog. Frenzy of Arrows should be restricted, because if not abused, it can be a good enforcer. But 4 copies a turn is to easy and to powerful.
If we ban the smith and Gothmog and restrict Frenzy of Arrows, I think that the culture will be balanced enough.
Oh yeah, the Lackey. Cool card, but begging to be broken. It needs to go. |

| Went for the smith, though i dont ever want to play against frenzy of arrows and i will flatly refuse to face anyone using destroyers and ursurpers. |
Ban shampoo, demand real poo.

| Voted for the smith, but, like lem0nhead, I think it will take more than just that to balance |

Excuse me for saying this but why is everyone complaining so much about Gothmog. There is no way this dude is broken or needs to be x-listed, if you want to ban him then you might as well throw in Mumak Commander, Giant Among the Swertings because he is just about as good (or better)! There are ways to counter Gothmog, and I will admit, he is pretty darn good, but not close to x-list material. Why don’t we start being pro-active ourselves and think of good defenses and strategies against the Orc culture?
I do agree, though, that something besides Demoralized needs to be x-ed or r-ed. I think r-ing Frenzy of Arrows would be an excellent idea. hmmm. |

| That is nasty, but not broken. It takes quite a bit of twilight to pull, and is completely stopped if you can kill gothmog before regroup. |

20 twilight left. Now run a hybrid  ambush (Raider Bow comes to mind) / deck and you should have the twilight.
Not to mention that swarm can add tons of twilight. Especially in expanded with the Demoralized / Rallying Orc combo.
A defiled Charge as well.
Or just Forced March some ents  |
