New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
I wouldn't call him OP, but I also wouldn't want him made. Why? TGT, that's why.
But who uses weps/gen enh in tgt?
Most other renditions of Nimrod have him as an EC, because of his ties to Assyria (See Micah 5:6) as well as the legend that he was the leader of building the tower of Babel, and was a Babylonian king. Interesting idea though.Quote from: BubbleBoy on April 25, 2010, 09:19:24 PMI wouldn't call him OP, but I also wouldn't want him made. Why? TGT, that's why.I couldn't see him being used in TGT decks, as it would force TGT players to use Genesis enhancements as well as him to get one EC in a territory. Also, if I were a TGT player, I would really want to limit the amount of times that I attack with a non-TGT hero. There are many more ways to do territory destruction that would be more worthwhile than using a character like this.

I was just implying that TGT has ruined the game and so I don't want to see it continue by allowing any more cards to be made. Seriously though, I want to avoid any kind of territory destruction at all costs. I just don't like it...It's so cheap...
Most protect forts protect from capture.
Any card that does anything to an EC in play can be territory destruction with Jacob/ET/Hidden Treasures along with Paul or people in the right colors to band. So are you saying that no more cards should be made to do anything to EC's in play?
That would be overkill. I think the only things that really need to be avoided are: -More TC converts/captures/discarders (Meeting the Messiah is one of my favorite cards, but it can also be brutal)-Cards that affect a lot of EC's for little to no cost ("He is Risen" and Two Bears, I'm looking at you.)-More pre-block ignores, unless the cost/condition makes it hard to use without a complex strategy.
Quote from: jmhartz on April 25, 2010, 09:29:02 PMMost protect forts protect from capture. Actually, Assyrian Camp, House of Rimmon, Temple of Dagon, and essentially Gates of Jerusalem are the only forts that would protect from this (unless you include KotW, from which characters are unable to block). Assyrian Camp is the only one of those forts that I have ever seen anyone play with in a serious game, and even that hardly ever.

... one can be heroic and evil quite easily. Salahadin was a great Muslim hero of the third Crusade, but he would certainly not be a Hero if he were a Redemption card.
After doing a bit of research (okay, Wikipedia) I learned that some people interpret the phrase "before the Lord" as "against the Lord". Legend also has it that he built the Tower of Babel so that there would be a place on earth where floodwaters could not reach, to spite any future attempt by God to wipe out humanity. So it seems that most people in the past have considered him to be evil, and there was never any evidence he did anything good. So I think he would make a more fitting EC.
All right, your logic is sound. I'll make him an evil character. Let's see... Something original... Oh I know.Nimrod - 10/11 Crimson/Pale Green WC evil characterIdentifiers - Assyrian, BabylonianAbility - "May band to an Assyrian or a Babylonian. You may discard a hero in a territory, but then discard Nimrod after battle."
