Philistines need to pick up and get going. I have a few ideas to boost them to playing level. Any opinions or other card ideas that people have to boost needed themes are welcome.
Goliath
10/10 Black EC (WC)
"May band to a warrior-class Philistine. Goliath's Spear cannot be negated."
Identifier: May hold both Goliath's Spear and Goliath's Armor
Goliath's Spear
3/2 (WC)
"If used by a giant, you may negate the special ability on a Hero."
Arrogance
0/6 Black EE
"Negate and discard the last good enhancement played this battle. Cannot be negated if used by a Philistine."
Cowering
3/3 Black/Crimson EE
"Choose three Heroes that cannot enter battle for three turns."
Temple of Dagon
Fortress
"Protect Philistine Evil Characters in your territory from capture and discard."
Identifiers: Holds one active Altar of Dagon
Hopefully, more to come! :)
-
op'ed
-
...Any opinions on what to change? Otherwise, you might as well not say anything. (BTW, I knew someone would think this was OP. ::))
-
They're all awesome except for Cowering; most offenses only have eight or nine heroes. I'd make it two heroes for two turns. :)
-
I love cowering. Goliath is OP'd though. Maybe 'Weapon class enhancements used by goliath CBN. If five smooth stones, David's sling, or David enter battle discard this card after battle'
-
I don't think Goliath is that OP'd. First you have to get Goliath's Spear and put it on Goliath, which doesn't happen every game, and then all your opponent needs to do is kill off Goliath to stop the negation of Hero SA's (granted, easier said than done, but still...). Goliath with his spear is no more OP'd than CoM or Assyria's Tribute.
-
I thought Goliath's Spear could also be fun if you had Ashdod up and wanted to put it on someone else, like Lahmi. :dunno:
-
**Edited**
I added Temple of Dagon and changed Cowering a little.
-
Ah, much better. I like all of them! :)
-
I approve
-
I was thinking about giving Temple of Dagon the Identifier: May hold one active Artifact depicting an Idol. I thought that would be a lot more fun. What do you think? Is that too OP?

I think that might be a little OP

Twelve fingered giant and bringing fear. Think about it :-p
-
TFG and Bringing Fear has already been done. :-\ How does GSpear change it?
-
G spear? I never said G spear. I said Goliath.
-
Oh. He means that Goliath could band to the Twelve Fingered Giant to create a 16/22 behemoth that negates all other banding, CBN.
Yeah, you might want to drop Goliath's CBN status on himself. Maybe just "May band to a warrior-class Philistine. Goliath's Spear cannot be negated."
-
Alright, I see where you're coming from. I didn't really think too hard about FbtN.
