Yet another bramble thread

[RandyDogz]

I like the following ideas that have been mentioned:

- get ride of receding ability
- +1 wit for all children killed

I think this would make bramble harder to use, dealing with the claim that they are just too easy to play now. You'd need to plan thorn placement or risk blocking your path, I liked this with the old bramble as it forced good planning and not just mindless spamming. And wits for killing children would make straight thorn spam dangerous, cause your opponent could convert all the spam into wits. I was excited with the +1 wit for thorn kills was implemented as I thought this was how it would work.

I can deal with changes shaking things up, and sometimes creating periods of OP, but the heart of outwitters is strategy and introducing changes that allow for mindless strategies breaks this beautiful model...
