Title: Searching out Artifacts
Post by: jesse on August 17, 2014, 03:37:03 PM

Hi, I am constructing a Babylonian defense and am trying to find a way to get Iron Pan out quickly. Is there a way to search it out? I know it can be activated on Ezekiel...perhaps something related to him?

EDIT: Also, in general, what are some ways to search out artifacts?

Thanks in advance for the help!  :)

Eli the Priest (Blue Hero) searches out any O.T. artifact.

The Magi (Purple Hero) searches out any N.T. artifact.

Obviously cards like Search and False Peace can search out any card in your deck.

Thank you! I also saw in researching that Covenant Keepers can grab a Covenant (like Covenant of Death, which is pretty awesome)...Iron Pan specifically though remains a tough one to figure out with the particular offense/defense combo I'm using.

Thanks again!

Note that they can do this not because they search out a covenant (or they couldn't), but because they search out an 'artifact with Covenant in the title' which CwD meets.

Gotcha! Thanks! Also, would you recommend adding in the blue Eli to a non-blue offense (it's red and teal) in order to get Iron Pan out more quickly? Or just add more overall speed (like mustering for war and dream)?

Probably better off just using Mustering and Dream. If you draw Iron Pan before you draw Eli, he just becomes a useless card. With the draw cards, they will still be useful (unless of course they're at the very bottom of the deck).

Thanks for the excellent advice - I will do that!  :)
