granted its a dual symbol combo, but once you get the peices, its ALMOST-UNSTOPPABLE! 
 
Scourge of Zeus-Ibus loops. 
 
Needed? 
2x Scourge 1x Ibus 2x Shinobi Tradition 
 
Play a card (any card so long as it has evil)  
play scourge, use scourge's -2 +2 ability, resolve it then pay 2 hp w/ ibus to kill it, pick up the 2nd scourge (it can be in discard pile at this point) play 2nd scourge, and repeat till they are dead. 
 
damage redux kills this combo, but whatevs, its insane.

...its a potential game ender. 
 
off zone with decent speed and lackluster printed damage. 
 
the blockzone, while good for blocking, doesnt give much when combined with Unrequited Love (which can take an attack that has a +3 block modifier and make it almost unblockable) 
 
The E is free, which is good, although cards like this are either going to get blocked or the damage pump will be negated with stonemail or some other damage redux that will likely come around in block 2. 
 
My major contention with this card is that it is a 7 difficulty.  
"So what? the card is still really good!" 
Is it? 
Lets compare with another 7 difficulty attack that is out right now and block 2 legal. 
 
Ryu's Shoryuken EXTRA 
7/3 +2low block 
All-Order-Void 
Punch 
3speed high/7damage 
E: draw 2 cards 
E: if this attack deals damage, destroy any one asset. 
 
Do you see the difference? 
It comes down to how a 7 difficulty card is played. 
Since the difficulty is so high, it will likely be played as the first card of the turn. 
 
so? 
 
well, while ryu's shoryuken Extra, gives you card draw, and can kill an asset if it hits (thereby making the opponent more likely to attempt to expend resources to prevent it from dealing damage) 
 
Tiger Fury has a greater kill potential and one more speed it is not as threatening as RSE. Why? Tiger Fury does not give you card advantage, it does not push your opponent as much since RSE can kill an asset (like addes syndicate?) which can further a players overall game winning agenda. 
 
but dont take my word for it.
