Title: Abomination of Desolation
Post by: Cameron the Conqueror on June 24, 2009, 01:26:08 PM

How does AoD work exactly?  Do I discard a card for every card drawn, or only one whenever "cards" are drawn.  For example, if I made a RA with Hur and with AoD placed, would I discard 1 or 8 card(s)?  I'm guessing 1, but I want to make sure.  (please let it be 8...)

Thanks,
   Cameron

I've asked before, its one card per "Draw ability"

So hur only discards one.

Oh it would have been killer though, that was a sweet idea.

It still is a good combo; just not broken anymore. ;)

Abom decks really need Abom to get out early.  If it is one of the last cards you draw then their draw pile is depleated and it wont work as well.

Did you really think we'd let that slip through... ;)

The original version of Aboms was more devastating than it is now, but it didn't take long to realize it had been made too powerful.
