Anyone combo that requires you to pray that your opponent's hero has more than 4 strength is not broken.

Only a Hero with strength of 1 would hurt the combo.  But toughness also factors in.  The block has 3 strength so any Hero with 3 or less toughness would also get initiative to play.

well, this is infinitely repeatable with no cost and CNB, so its on the verge of brokenness...

But it takes a lot of cards to get out completely
Easy to do with drawing and searching.  Still not broken though.

Especially in T2. I would like to see a defense built around this. It could actually be pretty devastating. And if they use initiative heros, just block with a lone trembling demon. You can torment/7sons them if they all get used up.

I must say it's a cool combo though. I'll definitely consider throwing this into my gates of hell deck.  ;D

Yeah, its really not broken.  A pain to deal with agreed, but there are still plenty of counters, not the least of which is merely shuffling your opponent's deck.

it's also easily stopped by playing a good enhancement via Jacob or ET before the block actually happens. And you can't have up darius's decree because your artifact slots are already full.

Wandering Spirit - Reveal the bottom card of deck. If it is a demon, put it in your territory. May band to a generic demon. If your demon is discarded, place it beneath deck instead. Cannot be negated.

I'm not sure that this infinite combo would work.  It says to put "your demon" in the singular beneath your deck.  In which case you would have to choose between "Wandering Spirit" and "Trembling Demon".

That's simply not remotely the correct way to read that card.

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Not really, once the demons die and go under, you can go ahead and just spam gates to pull them back out before the opponent can shuffle your deck.

If you have Crown of Thorns active though, you have to wait until the battle phase to take TD out or he'll die. Mayhem could temporarily screw up this combo for sure.

You could even add the other new demon and gomer (for one block) in addition to KoT... that's a pretty big FBN battle that gets to put a card on the bottom...

Gates of Hell is by far the best card in the game.  No questions asked.
