Title: Philistine recursion
Post by: Josh on June 03, 2010, 12:40:24 PM: Everyone who talks about the pros of a Phillie defense mentions "recursion" as one of them. I can see how Philistine Outpost can recur an evil character from your discard pile, but it still has a cost of an evil card from your deck. Is there some trick with Phillies that allows you to recur evil cards for basically no cost? I really don't have a clue how they work :)
