Pale Green EE recursion? Will this be allowed?
expect an errata on this card...
-
You forgot to mention Golgotha + Nathan. That is an even more powerful combo. Two cards that can be used over and over again to recur an EE and then force your opponent to shuffle an evil card, with no cost. I heard they were going to do something about this, but I'm not sure what.
-
Golgatha was designed to make it difficult but not impossible to recur the "skull icon" that is placed on it.
The wording "During battle" was used so that it won't work with Nathan unless you band him into battle. It's not considered "during battle" until a Hero has been presented and their special ability has completed. At that point it's too late for Nathan to shuffle a "skull icon" on Golgatha.
I don't see any reason that the DoU combo won't work. It probably won't be used much in T1. It's a fun combo in T2 but I haven't seen very many people playing DoU since a lot of decks use the Thorns LS. There are other good counters coming this year too.
-
that's awesome. play confusion 10 times in T2. i might actually do that. and if you don't have any confusions in discard pile just grab DoU... :D
-
actually you could do it more then 10 times. Shuffle multiple golgotha's in with a single DoU.
-
well you can only have two Golgotha's in your deck and in T2 when you keep shuffling them in it's not likely that you would have both of them and DoU every time but yes that would be madness... ::)
-
In theory it only takes 2 DoU + Golgatha to do this infinitely.
-
Yet another reason to play large T1 decks.
-
wow. apparently loads of people missed my combo a few weeks back.
there's an easier way to do it guys...
-
So is this card like Gates of Hell so that I can get all my skull icons from discard during a battle?

-
from the wording yes, and with angel at warning and/or well reopened you can pull golgotha right back out...
and dont forget about emptying your hand of EE if that matters? holy unto the lord maybe?
