What does having played through 1.03 with Advent have to do with whether or not it needs nerfing? If it's overpowered, then it's overpowered. Doesn't really seem logical... And don't forget that Kenrak takes 6 supply too. Kenrak only has phase reduction, which is negligible in the earlygame, and a bit of synergy with subverter (tier 5).
