First off lets look at the word balance as is in the dictionary.

Read the bold print. it is basically saying for all your good there is bad. If anyones abiltiy is broken, yours is scott. You have ABSOLUTELY no drawback, whatsoever.
You NEED a drawback, perhaps instead of 2 for a face, make it 1 for a PRINTED heel card, even if its not considered a heel for your abiltiy. EX. you must discard 1 to play spit, then if sucessful one more.
And its even further broken that you ropponent cant paly old school wrestling match. If thats case,lets all ban our oppoent form palying a card. Thats fucking sick. I KNOW you dont like mike, but you really are trying ot dumb his abiltiy down, when in all reality you have the mostr broken ability in T&B right now. Yoiu may think my abioltiy is broken, but its really not. If i use my abiltiy early on like i usually have to, you have a 40% chance of pullnig the card i searched for and another good card. thats BAD for me. Mikes abiltiy ISBNT THAT GOOD as it is..if anything instead of
"Prior to reversals, when your opponent plays a Strike or Grapple maneuver against you, you may discard one card to reduce the damage of the maneuver by 3D. You may only do this once per maneuver played against you."
you can put
"Once per turn, prior to reversals, when your opponent plays a strike or grapple maneuver, you may discard any number of cards to reduce the damage of the card by 2 for each card discarded"
There, hes further killing his hand.
Not trying ot be an ass, but i think the two msot NON-broken abiltiyies would be Ray's and Splooges with not crossed out. And yes I ranted, deal with it. I dont do it often. But i think it needs to be done in this case.
And thats the end of my rant
