Title: Abomination of Desolation fails against empty deck?
Post by: stefferweffer on July 07, 2010, 02:40:51 PM
I played a game where my Abom was deep in my draw pile, and my opponent's speed deck had almost drawn itself out by the time I got Abom going.  I assume Abom fails to accomplish anything if your opponent has no cards left to draw?

Thanks.

Joiada + Feast of Trumpets

But yeah. I (actually Ring Wraith did and then told me....) realized how to beat an ANB deck last year. Just discard your entire hand once you've decked out and have a big EC in territory.

Hur also works, as long as they have a hand!

Hur lets them block and do mean stuff though.

Or Mayhem or Love in first sight, because you shuffle and draw, or the Fest of Trumpet with the priest.

Yeah, if someone is using a defense-heavy Abom deck and has locked you out, the best thing to do is to try to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible and have no hand or deck. Then as long as you have a blocker big enough to beat the typically small offense, there isn't much your opponent can do. I recently won a game 3-2 that way.

And that, Kiddies, is why you should use Men of Judah in an Abom deck.

Either way getting A-bomb out late is gonna put you at a huge loss. You need a search card, or a couple draw cards that you can use to get A-bomb out.

It's in a 50 card deck, so that is good.  Unfortunately it was facing a 50 card speed deck :(  But I got it just in time to remove his last site access card with him having 4 lost souls.

Keeping in mind the brigades usually used for Abom - Black, Gold heroes, and Hur, what is the best way to search for it?
