Title: Evil Altar.
Post by: Smokey on July 15, 2010, 02:44:38 PM: Evil Altar

-Artifact-

Sa:
Any evil card that would be discarded by an evil special ability that is not it's own may be placed here instead, after a successful block place one card from here on the top or bottom of deck. If this card is discarded place one card on top or bottom of draw pile, discard the rest.
-Holds a maximum of 5 cards.

Verse: 2 Kings 21:3
He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had destroyed;He also erected altars to Baal and made an Asherah pole, as Ahab king of Israel had done. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them.

Synergy: The Gates of Hell, Phillistine Outpost

I don't think this card is OP. Powerful, yes. OP, no.

I don't think Uzzah should be able to cycle, people could just stack artifacts and have a 12 card defense that almost guarentees blocks, and you can use unholy writ to capture any BTN heroes.
Basically, I don't want it to be helpful to speed, I intended it to keep enhancements, characters, and maybe dominants accidently discarded with TGoH or discarded with PO and maybe some other obscure combos out there.

Post by: BubbleBoy on July 17, 2010, 12:41:02 PM: This card would be nice in a Crimson deck with Arioch, Deceit of Sapphira, and Belshazzar's Banquet (or maybe in some T2 decks with lots of dupes), but other than that, I don't see it being played often at all the way it is currently written.
