Abomination of Desolation: "If used by a Greek, place in opponent's territory. Each time opponent draws cards (except during draw phase), you may discard a card in that territory except a Lost Soul."
My opponent has 16 cards in hand and Abomination in his territory. He is supposed to draw by the special ability of a card, but gets no card because he's at his limit. Do I get to discard one of his cards?
-
No Abom because there was no draw. A game rule stopped the draw from happening.
Play Feast of Trumpets next time. ;) ;D :P ::)
-
Okay, that's what I wanted to hear. If there was something like, "There was a draw, he just drew zero," I would've been unhappy because it sounds ridiculous, but I wouldn't've seen that as unexpected.
I'm considering playing again just to build a new deck and to see if the game's gotten more or less fun as the battle phase continues to fade away, and this came to mind.

I hope that you will play again. You know how much a fan I also am of the battle phase, and I think that these new cards will help to reinvigorate it :)

I prefer the turn phase epicness myself. All the manipulation is awesome. Epic battles are also fun, btut aht's why I play BD. ;)

Truer words have seldom been spoken. BD can have the most epic battles ever. When was the last time you blocked a rescue attempt, played five evil enhancements, and still lost the battle because your opponent also played 5 enhancements, in a regular game?* Or how often does a Joseph actually get to put on his Coat and gain initiative to use all brigades, and then have Coat discarded by Yoke of Iron?** Only in Booster Draft my friends, only in Booster Draft.

For these reasons, is Booster Draft my all-time favorite event at Redemption tournaments. I much prefer long, epic battles to a battle winner (or battle winner, negate, another battle winner).

Hey,
When was the last time you blocked a rescue attempt, played five evil enhancements, and still lost the battle because your opponent also played 5 enhancements, in a regular game?
That happened to your sister when she was playing me in a "regular" game on Saturday at regionals.
Tschow,

Why did you stop playing? That is sad... :'(

No players nearby, having plenty of other better games that I get to play a lot, not enjoying online play largely due to RoA cards
-
And you'll enjoy playing online now?
*draws pictures of trying to use Orange because it's awesome, but there is no reveal bottom card button :(*
-
Or a shuffle hand into deck button. Much more important with mayhem, and would be nice for Hur and Love at First Sight. I guess GamerX isn't really around these days?
-
No. Supposedly there's some official Redemption program that's supposed to have come out "real soon now" for over a year, sometime around the release of Duke Nukem Forever.
-
Hahaha! Ah, we miss you Tim. :)
-
List of good things that never were but always will be:
RTS 2
Duke Nukem Forever
A Diet Pill
etc etc

Hrmm I may regret saying this, but who programmed RTS, what language was it programmed in. I am a software engineer, I may be able to look into some major fixes for RTS. Who is this Gamer X of which we speak?
-
I believe it was done in Visual Basic. The changes that need to be made to get RTS up to speed are few, but Gamer X (a regular member of the community years ago) pretty much disappeared some time before the release of Priests.
-
Eww VB. *sigh* Where is the source code for RTS located? Do I need permission to edit it?
-
The RTS website does have links to his email, at least at the time. Perhaps you could trouble him for the source code.
-
Sounds like a sigh of regret already.
-
If you get it, remove the code that Prof Underwood found that shuffles decks too well unless you reset 3 times. ;)
-
LOL haven't touched VB in about a decade, its archaic and junk but whatever :) I will see what I can do. No promises though.
-
RTS 2 is being actively worked on. Anyone that was at Nats on Wednesday knows this :)
-
Oh and whom is doing the work? I may like to contribute.
