Title: King Shishak
Post by: jtay on December 13, 2009, 10:30:31 PM: If King Shishak is converted, does his ability still work? His ability only specifies that the block needs to be successful and does not specify that it is him who is blocking.

Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Gold • Ability: 8 / 7 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Jerusalem Tower has no effect this turn. If block is successful, discard the top card from any draw pile. • Play As: Jerusalem Tower is negated this turn. If block is successful, discard the top card from any draw pile.

I was just joking. lol xp I think it could work only be cause there are lots of egyptians that could be used effectively. One of them is a staple in like 80% of decks of people who don't even play egyptians

It would. I was meaning IF you happened to lose a battle and be converted. I don't convert over guys I can't win RA with.
