A-Bomb is really tight, very hard to stop - I find Speed to be the best solution, hit them fast and hard before they can set it up.
Also be aware that losing 9 cards to a Water Jar is much more devastating to a Speed deck than any other kind of deck except a combo deck.
Covenant of Noah does not discard the ehn. So, I guess it would stop it for one phase, but that's it.Abom can be discarded and negated. My favorite negate card is Scapegoat.
If you use Covenant of Noah to negate Abom the phase that Abom is played it would stop it altogether. After Abom has been placed in your territory Cov of Noah is ineffective against it.
QuoteAlso be aware that losing 9 cards to a Water Jar is much more devastating to a Speed deck than any other kind of deck except a combo deck.I would tend to disagree with this statement - considering the fact that a modern speed deck is 50 cards, and the ability that they have to draw out everything I would say Water Jar is less devestating to a Speed deck, because they know they'll get them back, and because typically Speed decks don't rely on any single card (or even any 9 cards) to win. So outside of getting lucky and hitting the big two, Water Jar doesn't affect speed decks that much. (IMHO)
The special ability “place” can be negated during the same game phase in which it is activated; it cannot be negated after that game phase is completed. However, the special ability on the placed card can be negated unless specified otherwise.
which Abom wraps...
covenant with phinehas?also, abom can merely discard the z-temple to discard the lampstand with it. kill two birds with one stone.
oh. well thats why abom decks always use amon.
In addition, Land Dispute will take out your Temple much of the time.
have a Seven Sons, a Red Dragon, and a Prince. deck out, and discard your whole hand. gg.

Yeah, it would. Or Amasai the Raider. But also remember Abom decks use recursion.I include ET + AoCP in every Abom deck I make, whether it is lite, gold, or the teal combo. It is an amazing last resort to d/cing the hand.

A-Bom doesn't scare me. it's really not last resort, if you deck out, then the game's probably going to be over.

You WILL draw whether you like it or not.
If you have no deck and no hand, you've lost. Ehud will pick people he'll beat automatically, Judge's Seat will clear the big guys, and there's nothing you can do about it.
