Title: Interesting Splash Defense
Post by: BubbleBoy on October 09, 2011, 11:05:48 AM

Lot's Wife
Lot's Daughters
Jezebel (Black/Brown)
   Gibeonite Trickery (Black)
   Stone of Thebez

Uzzah
Zimri, son of Salu
The Amalekites' Slave (Brown/Gold)
   Gibeonite Trickery (Brown (I can have both right?))
   Image of Jealousy

King Manasseh (Brown/Pale Green)
Egyptian Magicians (Pale Green/Gold)
   Two Thousand Horses
   Forgotten History

Gibeonite Curse
Covenant with Death
Rain Becomes Dust

Household Idols
Unholy Writ
Magic Charms

I got the idea from a few different things. It seems like it would work well, particularly with a fast offense, but it also seems volatile. I haven't tested it yet.

I appreciate all input, but please keep in mind that I am not putting Plot in here.

Usually a splash defense is smaller, when you have this many card slots it would be much more effective to have a solid defense.

That's kind of what I'm thinking now. I was really just trying to get the best of multiple worlds.

EDIT: hehe. I would maybe scrap the horses for another battlewinner.

The Gib Tricks are the same card.

Same Art + Same Title = same card.  This is true for ALL characters and enhancements.  See King of Tyrus (Gold vs. Orange).  See also Gibeonite Trickery (brown vs. black).

Same Title + Same Brigade = same card.  This is true for enhancements and UNIQUE characters.  See Gabriel (Warriors vs Disciples).  See also Ointment (Warriors? vs. Deck C?)

Same Generic Title + Different art = different card.  This is true for Generic characters only.  See Pharisees, Pharisees, Pharisees.

Different art + Different Brigade = different card.  This is true for characters and enhancements.  See Bow and Arrow (good gold) and Bow and Arrow (gray).  See also David (red) and David (green).  See also Fortify Site (gray) and Fortify Site (black).

Plot? Almost all of your characters can play it.

Thanks for not reading my post.

That's what I thought two days ago, but two people at yesterday's tournament said otherwise. That quote seems pretty conclusive though.

Well...back to the drawing board I suppose.

Nah, I think I'm just going to abandon this. I don't think a non-character-based splash defense is going to work very well, especially in this size, and it's definitely not my style. I think I'm going back to pure Canaanites, which are fun but not particularly good. That's more my style. :)

Too many colors and not enough cards that cross over brigades.
