As you can see, the new Watcher/Hunter cards in the just released Season 2 expansion set have pumped up what can be done with either W or H's. Trust in the design team, young headswiller. There's an old saying - don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs. For real - that's a real adage. And keep in mind: the Watchers don't all know they've been infiltrated by Hunters.

The Watchers not knowing that they have been infiltrated, that is an understatement considering how overpowering the Hunters are becoming in this game. I will give credit for the few cards that help boost the Watchers, but they are still at a major deficit in comparison to the Hunters. Just because they are Watchers doesn't mean they are push-overs, they know how to throw down as well, we just haven't seen it in the card game yet. Here is an idea that I had for a Watcher card in the future:
Watcher Setting Things Right (use the pic of Joe shooting James) Edge (restricted to 3)
Play in conjunction with a ranged attack. This attack may not be dodged. If this attack is successful, you may remove one Hunter card in play or one Hunter Pregame from the game.

Before anyone comments on what I just did, yes, I know I just made an edge card that is played in conjunction with a special attack. It was on purpose, and should work since the cards text would override the rule. It makes it unique, and offers a rare mechanic that can be implemented from time to time, or even used as a persona ability like:
Persona
If you do not play a special card during your turn, you may play edge cards in conjunction with Special Attacks. You may increase the restriction number of any non-persona Special Attack by one.

The Watcher card is designed to be in conjunction with a ranged attack, and the persona ability suggestion was not for the Kurgan. After talking with Prowler in length on the persona idea, we came up with a very interesting concept that I will PM to you late today.
