Hey,

Quote from: RED on July 17, 2010, 09:32:17 AM
I hate the TGT nerfing. Just make all the good strategeies bad now... If I don't see a good card I like I may very well quit playing. $:-\$

Don't worry, just like Holy of Holies and The Darkness players will herald this as a great card that brings balance to the currently dominant strategy, then when it comes out few players will actually use it and the dominant strategy will remain dominant.

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

sooooo true.

I disagree... this card is so versatile that I think we'll see it in all defense based decks...and maybe even some offense heavy decks.

Forget TGT. I'm wondering what this will do to abom.
High Places seems to be the only way I can get abom out there. Anty usually gets aotl'ed.

I don't think you'll have to worry about that. First of all, this card can't even target High Places, but also Greeks get enough of a boost to make them singularly useful and not a Robot Unicorn Attack.

As for bringing the new card to light, I'm always hating it when people do that too soon

I actually really enjoy the way the game releases a new strategy, then some strong counters for them. As this goes on, theres a lot of great strategies with strong counters to them, so theres always a gamble of using the popular strategy, as people will likely counter it. It also makes old strategies more valuable in a sense. People put counters for new strategies in their decks, but using an oldschool deck can catch people by surprise. It's sort of a cat and mouse game in a way.

I also really enjoy the way recent counters are designed to be useful against more than just that one strategy. For example, if this card just said "Place on TGT to negate it," i imagine it wouldn't be nearly as popular because it would be so limited.

Love it, not because it stops TGT but its versatility.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #32 on:** July 17, 2010, 03:44:53 PM »

This is really just like Image of Jealousy, but better.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #33 on:** July 17, 2010, 05:56:21 PM »

Just curious:

If Peter's Curse is activated as an artifact, and then placed on a hero/fortress, can it be targeted by a card that says "discard an evil enhancement on a hero?"

if by better you mean 'anyone can use it', then yes. but its also easier to get rid of than ioj. i still prefer ioj.

no.

crustpope · « **Reply #35 on:** July 17, 2010, 07:33:04 PM »

If it said evil card/curse then yes, evil enhancement would not fit the bill because curses (at face value) are curses.

Priest have lots of ways to get rid of this.

Sean · « **Reply #36 on:** July 17, 2010, 07:57:41 PM »

Image of Jealousy >>>>>> Peter's Curse in Type Two

Seeing multicolor cards that are so versatile is not at all encouraging for type two players. May as well have been a dominant with a restriction on when you can play it.

I've looked at each of the articles for Disciples and I'm sad to say that none of them are impressive enough to make me want to pick up Redemption again.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #37 on:** July 17, 2010, 09:43:06 PM »

Yeah, so how is Peter's Curse anything special? It's just stuff we've seen before except in different brigades.

There's a card in Thesaurus that nukes it, too. Attending Angel, I think it is.

That's because, other than Gologotha, the most awesome cards in the set aren't spoiled yet.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #40 on:** July 17, 2010, 10:12:57 PM »

I bet cash money on a Golgotha errata.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #41 on:** July 17, 2010, 10:17:44 PM »

Has people been talking to you about t2h combos, by any chance?

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #42 on:** July 18, 2010, 12:01:50 AM »

Golgotha needs an errata before its even released in card form why?

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #43 on:** July 18, 2010, 12:06:55 AM »

Because turtles are bad for the game.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #44 on:** July 18, 2010, 12:08:35 AM »

So are super-offence heavy decks, and turtles (except the rare 50 or 56 carder) will always draw inconsistently.

There is more than enough offence in the game to beat a turtle deck, even without Ignore.

btw what is a turtle deck? I dont think ive heard that term used before...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Defiant teens they were, but nigh invincible.

Think of a turtle. It has a huge shell for defense, but it's kinda slow.

The Schaef · « **Reply #48 on:** July 18, 2010, 12:34:51 AM »

a 45 minute T1 game is the benchmark. As long as the bulk of games finish within that time limit, Rob considers the game generally to have a good amount of offense. If there get to be too many timeouts, then the game is too slow and the offense needs more punch.

Good should always be at least a little stronger than evil to win the souls, and should be strong enough to win 5 before time runs out.

I'm still waiting for a GE version of Babel... which is far more powerful than any mass hero bander available.
