For all of u who have TexP sets(like i dont :'( ) i would like you to post what u think is the best/most game changing card in TexP.
please include card (with SA) .
And why u think it is the best/most game changing.
-
In my opinion, High Places is the best.
-
In my opinion, High Places is the best.
yea but in my opinion there r cards better than that in texp..... when do TexP packs come to stores? O_O
-
in september.
I think the new dominants will shake things up.

seriously this is the best expansion ive seen yet.... like every card is OP'd
-
High Places is indeed very good, but I really don't think it compares to Grapes of Wrath; I mean, you have to admit that card is awesomeness to the max. :P
Nebuchadnezzar would come in third perhaps...or maybe The Gates of Hell.
-
1. Gates of Hell
2. Leah
3. Nebby
4. High Places
5. Well Reopened
-
Well Reopened, are you joking?
-
I'm most excited about Madness, Stalks of Flax, and Woman at the Well...... in that order.
-
No. You don't understand how ridiculously awesome that card is, you really don't. It's possibly the single most versatile card in your entire Genesis offense if you choose to include it.
It's actually a bit lower than that, but I intentionally did not post 2-3 cards better in order to avoid publicizing some evil combos I have planned.
-
1. Gates of Hell
2. Leah
3. Nebby
4. High Places
5. Well Reopened
I would go more like this
1. Grapes
2. Mahem
3. High Places
4. Gates of Hell
5. Nebby
But that is just after seeing a few of the cards
-
Grapes of Wrath and Mayhem really aren't that game changing IMO. I guess I'm in the minority there.
-
Both of them can screw up something that the oppenent thought was good. Mayhem can disrupt your oppenents hand(espically if they're trying to get a combo out) and will let you get a better hand. Grapes of wrath is an instant block and there's nothing anyone can do about it =)
-
You know, I'll probably go with Crustpope's order, except I would shift Mayhem down behind Nebuchadnezzar.
-
1. Mayhem
2. Grapes of Wrath
3. High Places
4. Darius Decree
5. Nebuchadnezzar
6. Destructive Sin
7. Habakkuk
8. Gates of Hell
9. Attending Angel
10. Proud Pharisee
11. Susanna
12. Astrologers
-
kir anyone?
-
It's great, but not the best, because of how situational it is. It's essential nothing more than an easier T2 CTB counter.
-
Nebby is high on my list; he goes AMAZINGLY with nathan. Attack with him and shuffle nergal w horses in territory. Next turn if they attack, block with him and use UN to get nergz back, place horses on him and play something MEAN!
-
You see, that wouldn't work because Nebuchadnezzar's ability would have to complete before you could bring in Nerg.
-
Grapes
Mayhem
Habakkuk
Nathan
Nebby
Astrolegers
Hab stands watch
Entrapping Pharisees
-
How many of these cads have been spoiled? I have yet to see any info on astrologers, Well Reopened, Leah, and some of the others? What do they do?

All of the cards have been spoiled.

Leah 3/3 Blue
Search your deck for a son of Leah

You just have to know where to look

Or have gone to Nationals.

Where would I look?

I'm a big fan of the Kir reprint, but I'm biased because it was my suggestion. It also works if you're forced to use an opponent's EC in a side battle.
My favorite card in the new set is Mayhem. It's so amazing in so many situations.
-
i think it works remarkably better than kotw.
-
Leah 3/3 Blue
Search your deck for a son of Leah
I believe it says 'if jacob is in play...' as well.
-
1. Gates of Hell (I can't wait to see someone use this to it's full potential...)
2. Herod Agrippa II (I have my reasons) ;)
3. Enchanter (come one... three brigades?) Generic? Holy crap...
4. Mayhem (stops speed and combo decks, both of which I hate playing)
5. High Places (almost every evil brigade can use this)
-

How does enchanter have/use three brigades? He is only one brigade and he can't use any others.
-
He must have been thinking of Users of Curious Arts which can use Pale Green, Orange and another brigade.
-
just ordered the Texp set from threelions its still on the 10% off thing....
Cant wait for the cards!
-
Yeah, users of curious arts. Haha, I messed up on that. Magic charms is also pretty darn cool. ;D
-
1. Gates of Hell
2. Gates of Hell
3. Gates of Hell
4. Gates of Hell
5. Darius' Decree
Really, Gates is going to get eratta'd pretty quick this tournament season.
-
To once per turn?
-
WHERE WOULD I LOOK? Its not on the REG, and I can't find a post on the forum defining the list. Can someone please just post a link to the full list of cards for TexP?
-
Someone sent the list to some people who asked for it via e-mail and others know because of natz.
-
I will be glad to email it to anyone if they would pa 1 TexP card for it :-D yes I am evil thats been noted before ::)
-
I can e-mail the list I have if you PM me your e-mail address.
-
thanks pm sent

*mumbles about ppl against entrepreneurs*
-
I have wanted Site-guard and similar cards to be worth playing for a while, so High Places is probably my single favorite card.
I also like all the gold defense cards, because I collaborated highly with Bryon to mix my withdrawal with his capture and deck discard, and I have an inflated sense of self-importance.
I also like the Arts and Forts in this set because it's pretty clear that most of them were designed to work with a specific strategy (e.g. High Places with orange and/or pale demons, Water Jar with gold fishing decks, etc), but are very versatile and make a nice splash in a lot of other decks as well.
-
Darius Decree for sure.
shuts down whole set no territory enhancment- no set aside kills type 2:)
-
It's gotta be Darius Decree (mass set asides are now dead in the water), followed by High Places and Gates of Hell.
-
I think Flax will be fun 8)
-
its either mayhem or grapes
-
Susanna.
*lolwut*
-
1. Mayhem -- "Lost soul generation is very important in Redemption"
2. Dairus' Decree -- "Stops set-asides, Jacob, ET, Good Territory Ehancements, Weapon class enhancements, Hidden Treasures"
3. Gomer -- "Brown CBN banding, play Gib Trick while banding to a FbtN character or character with D2-playnext. Or play Haman's Plot"
4. Samaritan Water Jar -- "From a Type-2 standpoint, this card is great. Set aside 9 cards, wow."
5. Nebuchadnezzar -- "Also from a type-2 standpoint, it's a great card. Can search for any Crimson OT enhancement, CBN, and can add to battle."
Just my opinion. Gates of Hell is nice, as is High Places, but I think a defense based around it would not work consistently enough for it to be able to win a higher up tournament.
-
Lawful, you can still use enhancements in battle with Darius' decree. It doesn't stop cards like ET and Jacob.
Also, I now am adding stalks of flax to my list. I don't think people realize how awesome this card is...
-
Yes it does. They can't play first.
-
Lawful, you can still use enhancements in battle with Darius' decree. It doesn't stop cards like ET and Jacob.
As alex said, that is incorrect. No good enhancements may be played from hand until an EC is in battle. Simple. No EC is in battle, so how can you play a good enhancement from your hand when DD clearly says you cannot?
-
Unless I'm not remembering right... Darius' Decree - "Opponent may not play good enhancements unless in battle. You may discard DD to discard all of opponent's heroes in set aside areas." I think that's how it works... Jacob and ET are in battle.
EDIT: Ah... I thought it said that the hero has to be in battle, not the ec.
-
DD says unless an EC is in battle.
*EDIT*
Also, I just remembered this card I made BEFORE I saw any TexP cards. I showed someone who knew the cards and they went.... "uhh.... just... wait till you see the new set"
