Yikes!

And to think, half of my playgroup uses Babylonians. It's time to build that Daniel Hero/Persian defense deck...

I am indeed curious about the green/crimson enhancement.....

This is just the thing I need to start using Babs again.

Also "looks shopped" would seem to aptly apply to this.

I like this card, its powerful, limited to a theme and deals with some issues. Its making me consider using Babylonians.

This is just a well built card that is powerful but not overpowered.

Now, a word from our sponsor:
Do you have a headache caused by your opponents' pre-block ignore, super-protection, speed-drawing, and play abilities? Ask your deck doctor if this Iron (Pan) supplement is right for you. Combined with a diet of Babylonians, Iron Pan has been proven in laboratory tests to reduce the risk of losing due to common strategies such as ignore and protection.
Warning: Iron Pan may cause an unsafe drop in protection for your own cards. You should not use Iron Pan if you use are a Thaddeus user or may become a Thaddeus user. Do not use ignore cards in excess while Iron Pan is active, as Iron Pan may reduce the effectiveness of those cards.

Nice.

It used to. I suggested to Rob that he move the special ability up above the pan and he agreed.

I lol'd at the end bit.

Also, I see the discard clause changed a bit. I like this version better.

Funny thing is, this card will actually make babylonian characters MORE likely to be played. I dont think it will make a Pure bablyonian defense more popular, but having babylonina characters in your OWN defense is a good way to ensure that this card activates. Especially since a couple babylonian cards cannot be negated.

Astrologers and Chaldeans anyone?

Nebby I can buy, but Nerg doesn't make much sense. What enhancements is he playing when Crimson is splashed?

TheHobbit13 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 30, 2011, 10:34:28 PM »

I like the idea of the card, I just wonder if it will be able to be used effectively considering its clause and apparently all the new nazereth killers allowing captured arks to run free again. Personally the card feels like Confusion of Mind on steriods but with more restrictions on what you can play on offense and defense.

I like the combination of Biblical story, spoilerification, and humor. Keep 'em coming

anything crimson you splash with him. Put horses on him for the CBN draw and play first

This card makes Nazareth a normal green site.

Just don't forget you need another Bab in play for Nerg to be CBN. If you only have Nebby and Nerg in your deck, then that greatly decreases the chances your OT crimson enhancements will be CBN on Nerg.

Yeah, protects are EVERYWHERE in the game right now. Iron Pan (+1 Bab) shuts them all down.

But, but, why'd ya have to encourage green prophets?? I was so happy in my own little world where very few people understand the power of a prophets deck... Made me disband my Disciples deck months ago!

And, of course a defense full of babies needs assistance... they can't do it by themselves.

Carry On,

P.S. Great article, as always!

It's a very complicated card. Green/Babs is a match made in heaven, so at first glance it would seem that Iron Pan goes very well with them. However, it negates a lot of your own strategy: Horses (unless on Nerg), Headquarters, Obed's Caves, Hidden Treasures, Provisions, and Bel's Banquet. While that's not a particularly long list, there are some very important cards there.

True! But some staple-ish cards will be even more useless if Iron Pan is up, like Lampstand. At least with Nazareth, you can put a LS in it that they might not have access to.

Let's keep in mind that this is just an artifact, so getting rid of it won't be that difficult.
