Thank you Bryon! I've been arguing this for a while now.
They seem pretty lame as fighters maybe we should challenge them to a dance off or a redemption game

First, there is no such thing as "losing by a special ability."  There is only:

1. Regular Initiative (based on numbers according to the initiative table), and

2. Losing by removal (which has lately been called 'special initiative,' though that term does not appear in the rule book)

The part that is fuzzy is when 1 banded character is removed from battle but there is still another character remaining on that side of the battle.  In the past, the rules have allowed an interrupt to be played on either of those characters (the remaining one or the one being removed), though I am not certain that needs to remain legal.  It seems to me that as long as one character remains on your side of the battle, you can only ever have regular initiative.

It seems to me that you should only really be "losing by removal" if your last character in battle is being removed from battle.


Just to clear things up, this isn't an officially changing right now, is it?

No.  I'm just voicing my support for a change.

It varies, most Decks run some of each of the colors they run (except for a couple double brigade characters which can still play a card)
