Title: Angelic Mayhem
Post by: adamfincher on August 07, 2009, 02:18:47 PM
So i have dibs on this combo... and discard your hand and have your oponent try to discard there hand. well if they go through with that or if they don't, ahve your team member play meyhem, so you can still either win the battle, or rescue a soul elswhere.

It's much easier to understand the combo if you actually post what cards are involved.  Why would your opponent discard his hand?  I assume you mean it is caused by Primary Objective.  And using Mayhem wouldn't allow you to rescue a second soul that turn.

the point of mayhem is to win the battle if you r loosing because of numbers...

I thought the point of Mayhem was to draw 1 fortress, 5 heroes, Mayhem, and Guardian of your Souls when starting a game to anger your opponent :D.

This combo doesn't work very well, as if your opponent thwarts Primary Objective by discarding your hand, the battle will still become a Battle Challenge (meaning you can't rescue a lost soul).

There are some interesting combos with The Long Day, Primary Objective, Mayhem and Grapes of Wrath, though.

Using GoW with PO may work in teams (depending on how the wording of some of these cards works out). 

There are difficulties associated with playing GoW after discarding your hand in T1 2P.  :)

yea i know this is 4 teams  i should've mentioned that. if they choose to discard their hand it is a RA
which means that you must find a way to beat them, and asuming you were dying when u played po that means u will probably still be dying, so mayhem allows you to draw and perhaps still win the battle.

But that battle is a Battle Challenge after PO, so who cares?

do you want to loose ur silver character such as michael idk? nevermind it sounded good when i thought of it... :(

Here's how to play it: You go with Michael with Angel's Sword and then when they block you play PO. Now you will most likely be winning the battle (You'll be 18/10), so if your opponent does discard his hand, you'll probably still win. :)

Technically two sentences, but probably not with the intended meaning, and after a little translation.

you've managed to make it even more convulated than the original post.

Here's how to play it: You go with Michael with Angel's Sword and then when they block you play PO. Now you will most likely be winning the battle (You'll be 15/10), so if your opponent does discard his hand, you'll probably still win. :)
