Slan's Over-Extended Attack "Your opponent must discard a Dodge to play a Dodge from their hand against this attack. Your opponent's first attack during their next turn cannot be dodged. You may play this attack after playing an Evade: Back Away." I'm just wondering is this card's text correct? After having seen it in sealed deck, it really seems to be a penalty card to play - both of us players thought it was an odd card. So Slan does a middle center hard to dodge attack, which is usually easily blocked, and then his opponent in return has the luxury of doing a slash or slice or head shot undodgeable... Even if you can play it after a Back Away, it doesn't seem like something that would be smart to do. Edited for speeling

I think no card is perfect and yes it may seem a bit lame but as future cards come out this card may work better . Take Iman Fasil from 1E and add the Lighthouse it works great . Future cards may make Over Extended attack awesome ... guess my point is its a wait and see card .

I never play it only because it cannot be made a power blow. If Slan had a card that alowed you to make gold grid attacks powerblows I would be all over the card. As it is I play a chalange deck and cant play dodges most of the time anyway.

Slan already has a hard time dodging. When there's 3 dodges in your deck, having a couple cards that don't let you dodge isn't as big a deal as it seems.

But that's why it's a disadvantage, an overextended attack is dangerous to execute. Remember something about ' never overextend your thrust, it leaves you vulnerable and off balance'. But Slan is a slow learner

The card has both an advantage and a drawback. As was pointed out, Slan doesn't have many Dodges as it is so he can play this after Evade: Back Away and be relatively safe since he likely doesn't have another E:BA in his hand. The fact that he can play it after E:BA allows him to stay on the offensive even when dodging his opponent. On the other hand, if you think it's weak in 2E tournaments, keep in mind that there are no Evade: Back Away cards to play it after in Type One.

Agree with pseudosoldier and who knows what is in store for Slan in the future so Over -Extended Attack may well become a Killer card ... guess its wait and see

Unless it is a Head Shot. Then you are just dead.
