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

Seeing as Syrians have very little initiative and very little CBN you could say add to hand or battle.

That would be a bit much. Unlimited having an Enhancement is one thing, unlimited play-first-forever is OP.

But I feel like Syrians run out of enhancements quickly. First you have to get a Syrian King and then this fort by then you probably already have 2 enhancements used.

I placed 3rd in multi at nats last year with Syrians. They're one of the best play-first brigades if you play it right.

Needs a Syrian king who can search for it since it's fairly useless after early game, otherwise I like it.

I think the balance to it is that unless if its splashed awkwardly you cant get it out early. Seems fun only thing I might change is instead of any grey card narrow it down to enhans... but even then I think it should be fine as is.

Could be OT grey card since Pharisees don't help an all Syrian defense at all.

kind of random but

4/3 E/f banding dude + Habitation of demons (the grey version that lets a demon band to a human)+ Syrian King + 2/6 Pharisee that plays next + this fort = broken

This takes a little work but with Ash pole up or you some how get the grey 8/7 cbn dude in there this is pretty strong

Sorry for my lack of names lol I havnt played a game in like 6 months lol

That combo is convoluted enough that it's not a concern. If you pull it off, good for you, but nothing so easy to do as Asahel+Grapes used to be.
