ADV=Advantage

And u can't get around it if you don't have initiative so again play it and follow with failed or WF and its a 2 turn block plus slows ur opponent and speeds you up

I personally would play it over failed objective if it was one or the other

It's not half as good as FO. If you can pull it off awesome, but that will be rare. As I said before, I played it, it slowed down my Deck and I found other cards that are 100% better then it. So unless you like losing a Character for a card that doesn't stop an Opponent from winning the game, but only delays him a turn, and most good players will be able to pull off lots of combos that go right around that card, or worse negate it all together. (unless your planing on Discarding a useful Character which just becomes a waste of a good card for a less useful one) no matter how you play it out, it's a bad trade off.

@Jmhertz Ammy Slave and UN speed my deck up so fast, that one or the other will never pull them both off together. One or the other will just not Search at all. And Cupbearer already gives me my SoulGen. (And I was thinking of adding a Prisoner Transfer with Warden for another Soul)

As for Pithom, I use it more for the anti-Dom part. Also, I do use the second part, (put a Good Card in a Territory under Deck) as well as for UN. Given Over is too easy for an Opponent to hit with all the TC anti-Curse cards. But an Opponent can't get rid of Pithom easily, if at all. Plus I can hit TGT with it. I would use Given Over if I had more room in my Deck. (I have a long list of cards that I would use if I had room in my Deck for them)

Whats wrong with both TAS and UN in the same deck? They're both fantastic utility cards. I would argue TAS is the best toolbox card in the game if you can get it off. The only downside to them is they're almost useless against the current meta (unless UN grabs a Goliath or Herod the Great or whatever). But what other choice does Evil Gold have? :/

I'm the same way when teching in artifacts that might not be optimal against some matchups. If they don't get used, they become Uzzah food. Never a bad thing.

If the Egyptian defense does end up using both Uzzah and TAS, then you're one short step from using Haman's plot. Perhaps splash in another brown EC for consistency. King Manny is always a versatile choice.

Gomer is pretty solid because of her cbn ability, low numbers for initiative, and generally better in the TGT matchup, but I chose King Manny over her because he's just so toolbox. Access to Haman's Plot, Magic Charms, Magician's Snakes, banding, and a built-in battle winner for clutch plays is pretty impressive. But if you have the room, there's little reason not to just use both.
