Title: Kindness
Post by: BubbleBoy on September 03, 2009, 05:17:09 PM
If we could make a useful but non-OP (and non-battle-winning) reprint of Kindness, it would nail a few birds by making Good Samaritan useful, which could add to the Luke heroes theme and add another character to be used with Samaritan Water Jar. So I came up with a nice, simple idea, and I think it's pretty accurate and fits well with the theme...

Kindness
0/0 Good Gold Enhancement
"Hero ignores crimson. All opponents must draw three cards. Cannot be negated by an evil card."

I like it for keeping with the theme.  I think that it could use a little more than a forced draw though.  Keeping the original ignore ability would suffice.

I like it!  You also need a hero error version. ;)

a rather unfortunate thing about yellow is it is only good when you use it with a bom and/or gifts of the magi.

not really, gold is cool.  Three Nails + all the gold convert makes a fundeck.  And Judge's Seat is way underused.

Well actualy there are only like 3 different gold convert cards so thats really not a smart choice but judges decks are always fun.

I added the suggestion, whether or not it will make a difference. Thanks for the input and support. :)

I used Judge's Seat in my Natz deck and it was quite fun to just say, "Kill 'em" without any effort ;D.

Jseat is underused because it has the worst use time ever, I can't tell you how many times I've switched an art or put a character down before trying to use it, then realizing its already my prep phase.

I'm sorry, that is just your fault.  I don't think that is the reason JSeat isn't used.  Too hard to remember to use?  That is what an upkeep phase is for.

I find it hard to belive NO ONE else has that same problem, and if that isn't the reason, why is it underused?

It is best used with the little judges, and those are not the fun ones.  So, you have to have at least a couple rarely-used heroes to make it pack a punch.  If you are not willing to use those heroes, then it won't be used.

Also, it does not protect the judge, so some players don't like the exposed hero problem.
