Except this one isn't bad at all. It would probably be fairly underused however, as even though there are many situations where it might come in handy, I don't know if it would be handy enough to earn a card slot in more than a select few niche decks.
I might make it as follows:
Proclaimed
Good Dominant
"Place this card underneath your draw pile to reveal all hands, a face-down card, or the top card of any deck."
~Luke 12:3
That way it can be used more than once, but it has the drawback of revealing your hand.
At any rate, I would for sure use either version it in my deck discard deck, as I could make sure that my Given over to Egypt or Beheaded won't get a Lost Soul before I use it.
-
It sure has its uses, and I'm it's not OP'd like most doms. I'd certainly use it in some of my decks, like prof said, before making a risky move.
-
I'm sorry it is a great card but we don't need another dominant.
How about a multi good enhancement.
Only 1 in a deck and it would have a minor cost of loss of initiative.
(or could it be territory class?)
-
Yeah, I'm not sure if I like it being a dominant. I would rather it be an Egyptian enhancement or something.

Muchly. I vote that the next set be centered around Egyptians.
-
I wanted it to be useful on your opponent's turn, although if haters gonna hate on even non-staple doms, I could just do:

"Place in your territory: at any time, you may Discard this card to look at one opponent's hand, a face-down card, or the top card of any deck."

-
That works too. I dunno how much different it is from a dominant though...
-
It isn't. Thats the point, it just cuts down on whining.
-
i dont have a problem with it being a dominant...i have a problem with it being really underwhelming for a dominant.

I see this card as a guaranteed extra block or rescue. Also super-useful for a lot of other situations. And more powerful as an Enhancement.
-
guaranteed block or rescue how?
-
guaranteed block or rescue how?
Knowing your Opp's hand lets you know EXACTLY what he can and can not do.
-
u&t can do this a million times better and its far from a 'guaranteed block or rescue'.
-
U&T doesn't work on your opponents turn, or after they draw a bunch of cards.
How do you know they didn't just draw Reach and AoCP? Simply put, you don't.
-
i sincerely hope you're not implying reach + aocp is a guaranteed rescue, especially with the advent of disciples.
-
Guaranteed? No. Likely? Yes.
-
likely was not the word used. 'guaranteed' was. as in, 100% failsafe. im curious to find how this card guarantees a block or rescue.
-
It doesn't. It allows you to be much more certain about making one or not.
-
If you build decks properly, you should be able to block/rescue if you know what's in your opponent's hand exactly when you need to.
-
My evil characters can't be discarded, captured, or converted. All of them. And I think a lot of people will have a similar deck... aocp is outdated. You get rid of their guys, only to find they discard 1 card from their hand and all ecs in their territory are protected with CP.
-
aocp is still good, but its nowhere near the guaranteed rescue it was before. same with zeal. since the inception of herods temple and the disciples sites, im not sure anything is a guaranteed rescue anymore (well, theres still asaph + magnificat...new splash combo!).
-
Another Dom? Please. :maul:
Well, this one is not OP'd ... I kinda like it! :) ~And thats coming from a guy who dose not like doms a whole lot! ::)

You'd better have Darius' Decree active then. Benedictus + ET + AoCP is just as effective, and only requires one more card.
-
I do. I wasn't talking about pre-block ignore though. My deck activates lampstand in Herod's Temple, Altar of Dagon in Temple of Dagon, and Blue Tassels on the artifact pile. So in battle, you have to shuffle me or return me to territory.
-
so how do you activate dd then? also, discarding to ht for a chunk of ec's in territory will be devastating.
-
In my current deck I don't. People don't even run ET anymore, at least not at my tournaments. :P

What has the current meta come to? We don't even run ET anymore.
-

What? He was the whole basis of COMBO COMBO COMBO COMBO CONGO!!!!
-
Actually Ittai was. ET wasn't really even needed for the noobsauce version, he was just the easiest to use.
-
No, ET is just part of that super awesome combo where you use Gold Shield to convert him to purple so you can play AoCP before the opponent blocks.
-
In my current deck I don't. People don't even run ET anymore, at least not at my tournaments. :P
Well...that's weird. Aside from his preblock nastiness, he is the same brigade as the Disciples, and he can recur the best Herod's Temple fodder in the game: Philosophy (I think I have it in any deck I have with HT...the ability to save any NT character, Good or Evil, is awesome). I use him in at least three of my current decks.
-
I never thought of recurring fodder... that's a good point. =)
-
Rarely would I want to recur fodder.
-
recurring 3 for any offense and 3 for any defense has rarely never proven useful. sir nobody used this to great effect in his last seasons deck.
-
has rarely never proven useful.
Wait, what?
-
rarely. never. proven. useful.
-
rarely. never.
Adding full stops between does not negate the conflicting nature of the words.

As in, it is rare that it is never useful. So it is usually useful.
-
take 'never proven useful.' which means philosophy isnt useful. now take stick rarely in front. which means it rarely happens. is this really that hard to comprehend?

I never said I didn't understand what it meant, but you could have said it much more clearly.

Yes. However, "useful" is much easier to say.
A good example of how this works:

subjective. you're splitting hairs. does it even really matter to get my point across? the answer is no, btw.

If he were splitting hairs, he would have pointed out that even in your explanation post of what "rarely proven useful" meant, you used an extraneous (and in this case, incorrect) word and also omitted a different word. ;)
