We are famous for reading cards incorrectly the first time 😂😂😂

There has to be a cost to the payoff. If all your ranged units had distant all the time you will probably find that they are overpowered compared to similar cost units in other decks.

Definitely I just think the cost is too high for not enough. Especially because ranged doesn't work with retaliation. What's the play pattern? Play your ranged unit play card to make them distant to do 2-4 extra damage? Most of the units with range have 1 attack so without being distant there aren't many allies they can kill so it's often 2 cards of yours for 1 of your opponent's. Evasive maneuvers seems pretty decent because it prevents damage so you can combat trick people then swing in with your now distant unit on your turn. Aggro might be good with cards like fiery duelist making itself distant and automaton bomber having range 4 and floating memory. I think the Umbra allies are mostly good Carter is insane most notably he doesn't have ranged.

Yup. But you can run 4x in your main deck if you want

Violet Haze makes the champion it is under have -2 max health. So if they were a 25 health champion normally, they are now 23.

You can do 1 materialization during that phase
