How about 400k to replace it with one of the Desparate Measures cards. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing 'I am the greatest' go, as it generally isn't as useful as Assassin. IMO either a free TD for you or your opponent losing 1 TD isn't as powerful as 'Doom & Gloom' is, so I think it would fit well in that deck.

And "Ball Clone" is a 50-50 chance that a TD isn't....

To tie in the two threads, here's the poll and findings from asking:
Poll wrote:At the Inducement Level, what should the score be (OD vs. UD)
400k Difference: Overdog by 1 TD
30% [ 8 ]
400k Difference: Overdog by 2 TD
46% [ 12 ]
400k Difference: Overdog by 3 TD
7% [ 2 ]
400k Difference: Overdog by 4 TD
0% [ 0 ]
Other (leave a message)
15% [ 4 ]

While half the people in the other thread HIGHLY valued TDs (400k+), it appears that 53% of the people in this poll don't expect that giving up a TD at a 400k difference will ensure even a tie (overdog still wins by 2+ TDs!).... 30% of the poll participants think that the best a given TD will do is to tie the game...!

Being as the stated purpose of inducements is to give the underdog an approximate 33% chance of winning, then this poll shows that a TD is worth 400k....

The thing is that many overdogs won't even try to win more than 2-1 or 2-0 unless they get massively up on numbers. Why risk the win?
