Hey everyone,

•Are there any artifacts/covenants that increase all NT heroes in play by 2/2?

•Likewise, are there any curses/artifacts that decrease all OT heroes in play by 2/2 or decrease all NT heroes in play by 2/2?

Thanks,
Ammian

Elijah's Mantle increases all of your heroes by 2/2.

No.

No. The only artifact/curse that decreases Heroes is Plagued with Diseases (0/2 or 0/3). The only artifacts/covenants that increase Heroes are Covenant with Salt (2/2 for OT) and Elijah's Mantle.

Yep.  I'm pretty aware of that semi-useless card, as I have about 10 of it.  Not quite what I'm looking for, though.  Thanks anyway!

Still waiting for an answer,
Ian

It makes FBTN beast just sayin.

Why do you want to know?
Is there is COMBOCOMBOCOMBOCOMBO brewing?

There WAS ...in fact, there was an AMAZING combo ...but now it got shot down ...curse the lack of cards in this way!  Covenant of Salt is better than nothing, but...

Thanks, Professoralstad.  That's what I thought ...I was just hoping I had missed something.

It certainly does.  But I prefer Joseph's Silver Cup with DoN to keep their Holy of Holies/Ashera Poles/etc. at bay.  Tis a necessary compensation, I'm afraid.

Thanks for your answers, everyone!  I see the cards I require to pull off the awesome combo I was thinking simply do not exist ...how sad...

Blessings,

There is this combo that my brother discovered that decreases heros to nothing and you can't prevent it. Brown Birgade and High places are really the big key phrases here.

Some of the many. Seeds of Rebellion, Rebellion, many many more.
There is this brown enhancement that sits in your territory and decreases 0/1 for each birgade in play and I think it prevents draw abilities.

Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Brown • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Place in an opponent's territory. Negate draw abilities used by that player. All Heroes in that territory are decreased by 0/X. • Play As: Place in an opponent's territory. Negate draw abilities used by that player. Decrease all Heroes in that territory by 0/X. • Identifiers: OT, X = number of good brigades in this territory.

If you add just the right cards it will work. 

Thats a one time shot.

Believe me... decrease alone doesn't have the power to compete... because it cant win battles very well.

Yeah but by the time you kill all their heroes, they've won.

Its still not reliable enough. I wish it was. 

Thr problem is the lack of battle winners to survive the entire set up.  I, as well, would love to see decreases become stronger but for now, with so many cards you would have to have for it to reach its potential, you wouldn't have room for much battle winner enhancements.  And if you still don't believe us, then please show us your defense so we may learn the error of our ways :p

And it's still not very powerful against a good deck, which has mixed numbers.

That would be some sweet ec (now I miss playing brown)

Those would be some sweet evil characters.  But I could make up cards all day.  The point is, OT heroes are doomed and NT heroes are too powerful.  Cactus needs to balance this out.

Actually, that's biblically sound.  We've got Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  OT heroes only had the prophets and priests.

But as anyone who knows me should know that I'd prefer a fun game over 100% accuracy.
