Post by: stefferweffer on January 22, 2010, 05:19:14 PM: No, this is asking about tournament potential :)
Title: Re: Would this Silver/Gold offense do OK?
Post by: Gabe on January 23, 2010, 07:41:50 AM: Last year I used a Gold/Silver offense (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=13795.0) that was pretty strong. The character selection is very similar to what you have but the enhancements are mostly different.

If you're trying to a Site lock/stall on defense you might consider adding Vengeance of Eternal Fire to take out an access Site or two.
Title: Re: Would this Silver/Gold offense do OK?
Post by: stefferweffer on January 23, 2010, 09:59:26 AM: I thought about that, but don't I have to fulfill all of those requirements? In other words, don't they (or I) have to have Kingdoms of this World, AND they have to have TWO sites in play too? Or does it still work if all that is out there is one site like Promised Land (and no Kingdoms of this World)?

Thanks for the help!
Title: Re: Would this Silver/Gold offense do OK?
Post by: Gabe on January 23, 2010, 11:26:45 AM: You complete as much as possible. If they don't have all the legal targets you can still discard one Site, or two Sites or KotW and one Site.

Post by: stefferweffer on January 23, 2010, 12:24:01 PM: Wow! That's awesome! Yeah, that card is definitely going in. Thanks!
Title: Re: Would this Silver/Gold offense do OK?
Post by: 3-Liner And Bags Of Chips on January 23, 2010, 12:56:50 PM: I was gonna say that there is this one great angel that pairs with Israelite Archer that could be awesome without protect forts. Gabe had it in his deck too. I was gonna build a multi around the idea of it but defense isn't that big in multi...

Spoiler: The Angel's name is... (hover to show)
Angel of God. He protects heroes from discard, which means you could use IA without having to discard him at the end of the battle, and he's WC, so IA can band to him.

It's not a big secret, but in case you want to figure it out, as MJB suggests below, then don't hover over it.

It's really not a big secret, so I don't think I'm spoiling anything by telling you.
Except, possibly, stefferweffer's satisfaction at having figured it out himself.
Title: Re: Would this Silver/Gold offense do OK?
Post by: Professoralstad on January 23, 2010, 04:19:55 PM: There. Fixed.

Post by: Minister Polarius on February 02, 2010, 01:32:55 AM: Meeting the Messiah is the best Gold Enhancement and one of the best cards in the game.
Title: Re: Would this Silver/Gold offense do OK?
Post by: 3-Liner And Bags Of Chips on February 02, 2010, 10:45:27 AM: oh yeah nsince it's a te. The only ways i know to stop that are DD & CoN
Title: Re: Would this Silver/Gold offense do OK?
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on February 02, 2010, 10:48:52 AM: CoN doesn't stop Meeting the Messiah. Altar of Dagon on the other hand...
Title: Re: Would this Silver/Gold offense do OK?
Post by: 3-Liner And Bags Of Chips on February 02, 2010, 10:59:28 AM: it would interrupt and prevent it and since it was a te, it would get discarded outside of battle and be prevented...
Title: Re: Would this Silver/Gold offense do OK?
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on February 02, 2010, 11:20:34 AM: Right, except that CoN can't target Meeting the Messiah because MtM is a good enhancement, CoN can only target the baddies ;)
