Post by: Minister Polarius on January 15, 2011, 09:34:04 PM: That's pretty much it. Hidden Treasures in conjunction with a Prophet snipes an EE, Mary's Prophetic Act snipes an Evil Dom, Fortress in the Wilderness if occupied by a WC Hero does some D/C top, Wash Basin sometimes Discards from bottom, and that's about it. The only really worthwhile deck discard on offense is RBD up Brass Serpent (or some other multi) in hand, and CTB give them Damsel. It's a huge setup, huge reward play.

A lack of coordinating offense is part of what makes Egyptian Deck Discard so useless. Hand Discard has an offense and a defense, Deck Discard has only Defense.

Post by: crustpope on January 15, 2011, 09:37:47 PM: No combo, Im just looking into the viability of a deck d/c deck. Gabe played one against me once and it did a great job of wrecking me but I couildnt remember all the parts. the only one I was missing was HT and a prophet...which is wierd because I play with prophets ALL THE time.

I forgot about the damsel thing too and that goes well with a green prophets deck and provisions...

The Fortress in teh wilderness might work too.

That deck was so much fun and very unconventional. But everyone thinks I only play offense heavy. Please don't ruin their misconception. ;)

You could have always just asked for a deck list. ;D

Post by: Maynid on January 18, 2011, 04:11:11 PM: So how does one get their Damsel into opponent's territory so that it can block?
Title: Re: Cards on offense that d/c from deck
Post by: Red on January 18, 2011, 04:21:42 PM: They pick it by useing Provisions or other ctb cards that can pick a character from anyplace you have acess to such as your hand, your terratory, and oponet's terrtory
Title: Re: Cards on offense that d/c from deck
Post by: browarod on January 18, 2011, 04:24:31 PM: You don't necessarily have to get it into their territory, you can just use cards like Provision that let you choose the blocker, and then you choose your own Damsel from your territory.

*instaposted* Stupid server timeouts, lol.

You think you've got it bad with acronyms? Try working IT. Our job title is an acronym.
