Yes, however if it were another site that said "prevent" from hand shuffle, then Mayhem will work because Mayhem cannot be negated. Thanks.

...why is it a bad thing if the opponents mayhem doesnt work on you? thats probably the best thing ever.

If they draw all their Doms in that hand they draw, and you're stuck with (r@p for a hand.

99% of the time a mayhem that doesnt affect you is the best thing since most of the time it pops out during a time that hurts you the most (ie full hand, your turn rolls around, d3, out comes the mayhem. you just took a 5 card loss in addition to whatever extra cards your opponent draws over you. or during battle to act as a harvest time).

That is an impossible thing. The average player (based on decks I've seen in the deck section of this board) uses 11 dominants. Having used Mayhem for this to be occurring, that leave 10 dominants possible in their draw pile. As Mayhem only makes you draw 6, it is 100% impossible for them to draw all their non-Mayhem dominants by the ability of Mayhem.

Would there be any way to negate the part about stopping search abilities, but keep the part about protecting your hand?

Master KChief · « **Reply #12 on:** September 23, 2010, 05:26:11 PM »

i have wondered that myself, because nazareth is such an awesome card yet its a double-edged sword. it stops your own harvest time, woman at the well, amalakites slave, etc.

Yeah exactly. One of like 5 counters to my type II deck is mayhem, but I need searching... is there a card that says like "protect abilities cannot be negated?"

Master KChief · « **Reply #14 on:** September 23, 2010, 05:45:41 PM »

not to my knowledge. i dont think theres anyway around the search prevent.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #15 on:** September 23, 2010, 06:02:02 PM »

Use Lampstand instead.

lightningninja · « **Reply #16 on:** September 23, 2010, 06:02:50 PM »

Yeah I don't want to have to have a temple in the deck as well (I need my artifact slot).

Master KChief · « **Reply #17 on:** September 23, 2010, 06:04:19 PM »

although lampstand in herods temple is pretty awesome right now.

Arch Angel · « **Reply #18 on:** September 23, 2010, 09:33:31 PM »

Both abilities on Nazareth are Protects. So I don't know that it will ever really be possible to negate one half of that site.

Professoralstad · « **Reply #19 on:** September 24, 2010, 10:19:07 AM »

Of course, if you need to search a deck with a Hero, you could put Nazareth in battle as an Access Site where its ability is not active...

RTSmaniac · « **Reply #20 on:** September 24, 2010, 11:30:01 AM »

your a mean, mean man

Never thought of that, that is a great suggestion. I'll abuse that combo in my play group now.

Too bad battle begins by placing Heroes in battle. You could use this trick to get search Enhancements to work, but not Heroes with a Search ability unless you band them in with an enhancement.

Why? Sites can enter battle "at any time" meaning Nazareth could be placed in with the hero beginning the battle.
