It’s been this way since at least CoW and it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon, especially with these new cards coming out.Nah, it's just you. No one's ever suggested banning Sam/AUtO/Throne or using set rotation to get rid of them either.I appreciate the sarcasm but that’s just my point. There are so many complaints about this offense yet more cards are being made that just help it out even the more.

He's a Purple King/Priest/Prophet/Musician that's negating Souls, Sites, and ECs, protecting characters not in battle from non-banding evil abilities, and protects himself CBN. Also, I get to take an OT purple card from Reserve and his enhancements are CBI because of this artifact. And if by some miracle you run Rubble and Dust do kill him, I can discard a teal card from hand instead with Solomon's Temple."seemsgoodMaybe I missed something - but how do you get Isaiah to purple brigade too?

Royal Priesthood: the alternative border artwork, where did you find it?Thanks. Also, loving the new teal cards!
Help me understand what you’ve seen that makes past Throne variants better? I’m not saying it’s not there but I don’t see it.Also, keep in mind that we don’t want the throne offense to go away, but we don’t want to encourage the super fast AUTO>Sam variant.
Here is another tasty Covenant for y'all...Spoiler (hover to show)
More ways to steal Babel? Fascinating.
Quote from: Bobbert on October 05, 2018, 02:41:20 PMMore ways to steal Babel? Fascinating.With all of the Babel sales I and TLG experienced, and all of the talk about and demand for it I didn’t play one person at Nats who was using it (myself included). Of course there were 30 players in T1 2P so I’m sure there were some I didn’t play who used it.

Sometimes certain cards just feel like hiding in the deck all game
How about a new Covenant with Adam.Spoiler (hover to show)

We've got a solution for you:Spoiler (hover to show)The main issue I've had with ways to have multiple artifacts up at a time was how slow it is to set up since even if you have room, you can still only activate one at a time. Even if you have a hand full of covenants this thing takes 3 turns to really be worth it. If it activated the covenant you search for on itself immediately, even at the cost of one of the other abilities, I'd be a lot more excited about it.

You activate it and search, and you can use the Holds identifier at any point in your prep phase to activate up to 2 Covenants, including potentially the one you searched for
● If a hold effect allows a card to hold an Artifact, putting an Artifact there triggers an activate an Artifact effect for that Artifact

If you can activate any number of artifacts as long as you have an empty spot to put them then I am extremely excited for this card!Quote from: REG● If a hold effect allows a card to hold an Artifact, putting an Artifact there triggers an activate an Artifact effect for that ArtifactWasn't aware of this line, am now definitely hyped for this card!
