Hi Kelvin!

I rarely take the Exarchs, because I think they are WAY overpriced. I
mean, come on, they cost 100pts for ONE stand. How about keeping them
Special Cards, but lower the cost to 300pts?

OK, I see the light. Your right, something bad does happen. But my
games rarely get to turn 3, so it almost never plays a part. The Mekboy
Shield is the best titan defense in the game, as long as you don't get
to the end of turn 3.
