Very bland.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Very bland.
Well Egyptians aren't supposed to be very unique if that's what you mean.

This card can be very situational, but if pulled off correctly it is op'd, but 90% of decks today are going to be N.T.

A T ripple posting is bad. Use the edit button to merge all 3.

Situational? Shutting down half of the characters played is pretty dang OP'd.

...Excuse me? Uhm, Since FOOF the abilities on Egyptians have become more and more diverse. Just because they didn't make them super unique doesn't mean they were aiming for bland. You can do deck discard and STILL make it unique. See Queen Taph...

True, but I like the discard 2 AND discard a hero on Rash Oath... I'm liking it better since I'm using herods, not Egyptians.

They each have their pros and cons. Beheaded is a zero-cost discard one, and can also be used as a battle-winner, or territory destruction. However, if you do use it for deck discard, you run the risk of discarding a Lost Soul, without being able to get it back.

Rash Oath has a cost, but it discards the top two and can essentially function as a more powerful Revealer. And between Herod's Dungeon and Imprisoned (or even Egyptian Warden and Magic Charms if you combine Herods and Magicians) it shouldn't be too hard to pay the cost.

Moral of the story, I use both.
Press 1 for more options.

Same. Rash Oath is more to clear out Herod's Dungeon, while beheaded is more for Thaddeus.  ;D

Sorry about the triple post i didn't know how to do three quotes in one. I wouldn't really call the magicians bland. Taskmaster has the option of just discarding the top card of opponents deck though, and the second part of his ability is very hard to get multiple captured hero's with all the capture protect and like I said 90% of the decks now are N.T.

You do realize you could splash him in with babylonians and just capture yourself? Then EVERY time he blocks, boom, top 6 cards of their deck. Think of battle challenges.
