You set up all of your units and then, BAM, you pull the curtain and smash. The problem is in how tough that is to pull off. If bramble gets a buff, I would think it has to be letting the children live. It's so easy to get into a big unit deficiency with one smack from a soldier. I say let the children live and give the opponent the +1 wit for thorn kill. Just a thought. I'll let you guys tear that down now.

I think a good buff for the Bramble would be to let him voluntarily remove vines without unrooting himself. The other rules would still apply, namely that removing a Parent would remove all its Children, as well. It may or may not have to cost a Wit to do this, balance depending.

But I think the big issue that needs to be dealt with is that Scrambled Thorns can still spawn more Thorns. I think it's implied by Bramble's Thorn-spawning animation that you should need a Bramble in order for Thorns to do that, because this gives away a Special for free.

It is strange that a scrambled bramble can make thorns. I really struggle with the logic. I assumed that the concept was that all the thorns originate from bramble. The animation confirms that. Whenever a new thorn is placed, bramble does that animation that makes him look like he's dropping a deuce. If you kill bramble, all the thorns go away. A scrambled thorn is not connected to a bramble and therefore shouldn't have the ability to expand, as bramble is the driving force.
