how does TC vs Lanka go in favour of TC? assuming both go for a bless strategy...? Palashankas>Warriors of the 5 Elements by a lot... as fpr Ashdod, yes that's the unique situation that doesn't say a lot about the whole, not to mention that Ashdod is MA only(Mictlan is all ages) and Ashdod is usually banned anyway because of its OPness... so I find it pretty irrelevant to the discussion, and ridiculous as your only reason to say Eagle Warriors>Jaguar Warriors... also remember that in a rush neither you or your enemy has time to get those critical buffs, and even if so the early buffs(say Alt 3) aren't all that bad(for the rusher that is), especially with a Fire bless(bypasses Ethereal and Mistform).
