Title: King Omri - Does he work?
Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on August 21, 2011, 05:22:48 PM
See if you catch on:

Protect evil Kings of Israel in your territory from opponents. When you play a Samaria Site, increase your evil King of Israel 6/6 to decrease a character 6/6.

A card is considered "played" (1) when its special ability activates or (2) when it is put into play – except by a "place" special ability or a "holds" identifier.

Search your draw pile for one Samaria Site and put in play. Land Purchase cannot be negated. • Play As: Search your deck for one Samaria Site and place in play. Land Purchase cannot be negated.

Which one should I use? One works with Gates, one does not.

Disregard errata disguised as play-as. Especially errata that makes no sense.

"Regard errata disguised as play-as" is, according Underwood, an outdated notion.

Gates of Samaria

Type: Fortress • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect evil Kings of Israel in your territory from opponents. When you play a Samaria Site, increase your evil King of Israel 6/6 to decrease a character 6/6. • Identifiers: None • Verse: II Kings 7:1

Are you asking whether this applies when only you play Samaria or if your opponent plays Samaria? Since you did not ask a specific question, how do you expect an adequate answer?

I meant, do I use the printed SA for Omri (Which works with Gates of Samaria), or the play as (which does not)?

I think we're all aware that King Omri has not received errata, right? The printed ability works as written.

Obviously not, hence the topic.

Well someone else was arguing with me that he shouldn't work. I wanted confirmation that he does.

Yeah, of course it works. Gates of Samaria doesn't care how Samaria ennters play, just as long as you play Samaria after Gates.

Omri works.  My poor Judges.

Why not counter omri and gates with a nice Samson's Sacrifice Sandwich?

Ibzan is a 7/7 gold judge, he was in the FooF tin 2, he's the one who makes good judges enhancements CBN.  I already thought of gates with Ibzan and putting him in Judges Seat

Jair + seat is generally all you need. I don't see many */2 or */1 evil characters running around.

All you ever needed was 3 offense. Alternating Crown of Thorns with JS will kill everything with Jair.

Jair should have said "while this character remains in play."
