Meek Heroes

(1/6) > >>

jesse:
Now that LoC has been out for a while, I was wondering how everyone feels about meek Heroes. Are they consistent enough to be viable, or are they too often lacking the needed support?

Watchman:
Funny you should mention this because I am designing a meek-themed offense.  So I’ll let you know once I get some games in with it (hopefully one of them with you). 😉

jesse:
Haha that would be great!

I was deliberating about which version of David is best for a red offense, and realized that if meek wasn't the way to go, then CoW's David the Shepherd may take the crown. But I haven't played any games using a meek offense yet, and know there are a lot of strong support cards for it, so I wanted to hear from others on it.

It's such an interesting strategy, because of the high risk of if you don't get the support cards you need, then you're using no-SA Heroes for rescues! I think that in and of itself is really fun.

I'd love to hear what T2 players think of meek offenses, as well. Is meek the new "meta" for T1 and T2?

TheJaylor:
I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say meek is the new meta. I think it will be awhile before a meek Hero offense is able to compete with the top dogs, but there are some cards that make it a tempting option like Windows of Narrow Light, Goshen, Mary, and Begats. At this point though I think their role is mostly in support for strategies like Impartial Judgment, or just for use with bounce cards when it comes to David, HAG, Father Abe, Noah, and Zerubbabel. There's maybe an argument to be made for Judges offenses with Samuel's Edict, but usually Gideon and maybe Samson are the only ones used.

I sadly haven't made many Type 2 decks lately since there haven't been any tournaments here and there aren't many people willing to play it online... But there may be some meek Type 2 strategies since you can use multiples of the payoff cards like Impartial Judgment and Solomon's Dream, but again, I think they're mainly support at this point though I would be curious to see what meek-focused decks people are trying out. Closest I've come so far is my Legion of Angels deck.  :D

jesse:
Awesome, that's super helpful! So I see that at this point, meek heroes are typically used sparingly as support, with bounce to revert them back to non-meek.

Thanks for the great insights!
