As someone that has been playing Malifaux since 1st ed, balance tends to be faction to faction and not really master to master. As it's an objective based game, Masters tend to be specialized for specific Strat/Scheme combinations. I personally like the cheat hand mitigation as it does allow to overcome potential bad luck, but still allows an opponent to answer back accordingly. Malifaux strikes me as a game that has not been 'solved'. There isn't a best overall that everyone takes. It's really up to you and how you want to build your crew to tackle a specific situation. As you covered, the app (army builder) is one of the best I've ever seen. Not only does it keep you up to date with Errata changes, but it also allows you to run a complete game between you and your opponent. It allows you to track in game conditions, wounds, and allows you to view your opponents models at any time. If you haven't tried to run a game in app...definitely give it a try. Sorry for the long post, but I love this game...Happy to see more people picking it up :)!!!
I'm a 40k refugee. Just pick up Malifaux and I feel like I just escaped a toxic sect. I could easily name 10 reasons why Malifaux is great. ^_^ thanks for the explanation.
Love Malifaux, glad to see someone actually talking about it
