Title: Fallen Warrior
Post by: Minion of Jesus on April 20, 2012, 08:29:33 AM
Are you allowed to have 3 Fallen Warriors in your T1 deck? I say this because his ability might be an identifier.  Then he would have no SA.

His ability is not an identifier, one per 50 in a T1 deck.  Sorry.

Just making sure, because I've been told his ability is a CBN.

CBN doesn't matter, it doesn't affect deck-building. 

What affects deck building is the fact that he's a unique character. As such you can't have 3x.

His ability is not CBN, The addition from a previous turn is CBN.  Just for clarification.

It's not CBN. There is a rule that a trigger ability cannot be negated after the phase it was activated.

Yes if your deck is 154 cards

This is incorrect. Fallen Warrior is considered generic, despite the fact that the original passage may be referring to Goliath.

Um... Does Isaiah mention Goliath?

The passage sheds a little light on the issue, though I admit, I mostly say that because I've heard it before. That passage does reference things that happened in the past though.

How does this referance Goliath? I'm confused
For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
 -Isaiah 9:5

Read more than just that verse. Read the actual chapter.

There is no evidence that the reference refers at all to Goliath. Philistines are mentioned briefly in the chapter, but that it not why Fallen Warrior is a Philistine. The reason he is a Philistine is because he is wearing headgear of a Philistine (due to the art being a picture of Goliath). However, he is not the same as Goliath.

Ah, it was the artwork, not the reference. My mistake - I knew it was something about the card that made people argue it was Goliath.

One time I got him to somewhere around 30/30 with Philistine Chariot and Horses. Of course, he got killed once I ran out of battle winners... Why did they choose artwork of Goliath's head getting mashed when it's not Goliath. (I already knew he was not Goliath. I'm just curious).

It was a handy picture of a warrior getting stomped.

Quite a few pictures in Redemption get reassigned. Like half the Kings from the Kings expansion have pictures of David, Saul or Solomon on them.

Where did this come from? I can have 3x Gideon in my deck.

Which was my point. It has nothing to do with being unique.

I should clarify I meant this as "character with same art same name and same SA."

Unique was a very poor choice of wording.
