Title: Cards to mess with people in GROUP games?
Post by: emonier on February 10, 2017, 12:19:32 PM

Hello Friends,

I was trying to think of all the cards that do a good job of messing with my opponents (but not me) during a multi-player game.

What are some of your favorites?

(e.g. Hezekiah's Signet Ring?)

Thanks,
emonier

several of the curses from priests do a good job of this.
rbd, confusion of mind, and plagued with diseases are all fun.

Thanks, guys. These are all great ideas.
Also, I was thinking King's Pomp might wreak some havoc too, right?
Doesn't King's Pomp remove things like Fruits of the Spirit and Armor of God Enhancements?
Thanks.

yes it does, and that plus fearfulness on King of tyrus can be devastating.

Nazareth (Although it hurts you too)

Cards like Nazareth and Covenant with Death mess with you, but there are definitely ways to construct your deck such that they mess with you far less than everyone else.

Nicanor can be a fun way to mess with everyone else, but he also has some risk in that people can trigger him which means the draw ability becomes yours, which can then trigger an ability they want to use (Golden Cherubim for example).

The god of this World is also a fun one to use.

three of the best
Great image (even better if used in a side battle on your turn. doesn't hurt you at all)
AOCP(Authority of Christ Nats Promo. hurts you. a lot)
Wrath of Satan (also hurts you a lot)

In T1 multi, back before the dom cap, one of the best ways to get people against you was to activate Lampstand. Especially even if you already had GoYS.

Hur & Gifts, Feast o' Trumpets & Gifts, Phillip's Daughters & Gifts. Or of course, ANB.

Notice all of the cards I mentioned can be put into one deck. ;)

Bernice (PC) is one of my favorite cards to mess with people in group games.
