Why does the card "Fai Lian's Tornado" exist?

[dmonhiiro]

1. I think the mazu's are overpowered, because of their combination of ships, tide-deck and some abilities like "seven wind strike".
In addition there are 2 "Fai Lian Tornado Cards" (deploy a hero in any legal zone) in the tide-deck of an already super-mobile team.
If it would need a 4+ roll, to not fall overboard, it would be fairer... but only 2 kraken-symbols? :\

1 Example: Let's assume i have some gold with my hero's. I play the card "Fai Lian's Tornado". Place Xia between the armory and the rigging lines of the wellsport team.
Playing the card doesn't cost me an action, so i attack 3 times with Xia on the armory. Next i use Fang's "swapping ability" and put Koga on Xia's place.
Koga attacks the rigging lines 3 times. The wellsport team expected my Fai Lian's Tornado, but luckily i've drawn a second one at the end of my last turn.. keeping it in my hands, until i decide where i'll attack next..

We decided to take the "Fai Lian's Tornado cards" out of their tide-deck, but..

it's still nearly impossible for me to beat the Mazu's..anybody got some tips, how to go against them?

Peace! after studying the game i have noticed this too, lets build upon this topic for a sec..

the chineze = 3 objectives/ filled with deckhands/ 12HP
vs
other teams = 2 objectives/ completely empty/ 8HP ...(french team 10HP)

+ Fai Lian Tornado!??/%§))) ............think about it

Well maybe... since these evil chineze powerful devils have 3 Tornados on their (!) ships = maybe thats where this card is supposed to be used......!?

Blessings!
