Cyprus could get abused in T2. Majorly o.o

maybe make it a 2 color site, so there can only be one in each deck?

I don't see cyprus as too powerful for t2. Most decks have more than 1 of each card, even with 5 of these unless the one card you want is in the top 3 more then twice, it won't hurt. Maybe make it d/c'd though rather than removed?

5 Cyprus sites, plus five evictor lost souls = 10 cards removed
add in hidden treasures + search x5 and/or ANB x 5 and repeat.

Couple with a RbD offense and a deck/hand discard defense.
Also add hormah and the shuffler lost soul to recycle your evictors.

1/10th of a deck isn't much compaired to a deck d/c deck's defense. Also you can only have three, unless you have 250 and that is sacraficing any hopes of speed. Also notice you have to build the whole deck around it, removing any other functions really.

I was meaning

That :-p

I'm glad people enjoy my ideas. I based the 'Cyprus' site on the 'Revealer' Lost Soul, and beefed it up a little 

Maybe it should not be Green. We already have Bab. Banquet Hall and Banks of the Nile. Otherwise, I like the ideas!

Green does evil deck d/c though.

Also you can only have three

Oops, this is what I get for taking a way-too extended break from playing t2. Still, Idon't think it really matters if you're building a deck around it as there are far worse strategies you could try.

that's not really a bad strategy. >.> Rather fun, actually.

ANB abuse would've been more fun if they hadn't put that numbers clause on Micah

and Faith of David!
