Image of the Beast and Golden Sensor, Staples?

Hi everyone!

I learned a ton playing at the Texas State tournament this weekend, and I have begun browsing lackey to get better handle on ROJ and COW.  It seems to me that Golden Sensor and Image of the Beast are clear requirements in this game now.  Simply to counter 3 woes. I have never been a fan of the concept of staple cards beyond SoG, AotL, and CM, but you gotta play to win.  Or maybe its time sprinkle in more artifact destroying enhancements?

Dominants can't be negated. Both of the cards you mentioned are very good, but they can't negate three woes.

Ah! Thank you.

Would there be a major concern if you used a Lampstand of the Sanctuary to mitigate Three Woes coming after your heroes? Or is protection super easy to bypass?

Shoot let me explain a little better, haha.

I found IotB and GS shutting down my artifacts I have in place like cake.  (Annoying)
Then 3 Woes shutting down Moses (REALLY ANNOYING) He is one of my major defensive cards because of his ability.  I LOVE CoW cards, but is RoJ going to be king from now on?

you can't protect from being negated.  lampstand doesn't stop 3woes or those artifacts from negating anything

Dang it.... :o

Yeah, still learning Redemption lingo.  Okay then, Partners with Demons it is then XD.

But Lampstand of the Sanctuary would protect against CM?  Because it discards?

Lampstand does protect against the three woes if it's played as an evil dominant.

Negates target abilities. That's why you can still negate a protected CoW Gideon for example.

Could you elaborate?  Are you referring to 3W?

Lampstand does not protect cards from an evil Three Woes.

As for your trouble with Image and Censer, I would recommend Treasures of War and/or Paying Taxes (especially if they are kind enough to negate your Moses).  8)

Negate targets abilities. Same goes for protect Fortresses (Areopagus protects your Greeks from good cards, but they can still be targeted by say a Moses or Golden Censer from territory to be negated even though they couldn't be say discarded or converted)

Pretty much this.

As far as IotB and GC are concerned, I don't recall seeing anyone use them besides myself. They're nice, but not staples. If they could stop 3 Woes somehow, they'd probably be staples. ;)

As far as making Moses unstoppable, there's always this:

I've toyed with using that (in the Reserve) for a certain Hero, but other things have been more useful.

I get what you're saying except for lampstand of the sanctuary says protect all cards not in battle from Evil dominant. (Grim-Reaper icons) it sounds to me like the cards are protected from the Grim Reaper icon. Kind of like how signet-ring is targeting me as a player. I could see how the three woes could Target lampstand of the sanctuary to negate it's protect ability. But I still don't see how it can Target Moses in a territory if he's protected from Evil dominants. (Grim-Reaper icons)

Protection applies to cards, negates target abilities.

Why do you think Three Woes can target a protected Lampstand (because it protects itself), but not anything else it's protecting?  If Lampstand is a valid target, so is anything else it's protecting.

So what cards would help stop 3woes then?  Read all the posts and got confused.  :o. Also, for my sake, say I play three woes...so I negate just one card each round, correct?

Abomination of Desolation, Priests of Zeus, Desecrate the Temple and Partners with Demons can hit Woes either as good or evil.

Depending on if its played as good or evil you can use various other enhancements to discard it.

So you're saying if gopher wood which protects Noah's Ark is on Noah's Ark you can still negate Noah's Ark and the characters in Noah's Ark just sit there?
