Title: Super Specific Meta Counters
Post by: Warrior_Monk on June 25, 2013, 02:49:47 AM
Unidentified Foreign Charater
0/1 Multicolor EC
No Special Ability
Identifiers: Restrict UFC from entering battle. Protect UFC from opponents while in play.

Unhistorical Earthquake
0/0 Multicolor EE, TC
Discard The Garden Tomb.

Wilderness
Battleground (whatever happened to these cards, they were great)
All characters that enter battle are restricted from returning to hand, deck, or territory, until battle resolution.

The question is, would you play these?

I wouldn't use UFC, because I'd still need another EC out to avoid the TGT, and they'll just target that EC with their territory destruction and ignore me anyway (and I'm assuming TGT would be what you are making him to counter).  Maybe Unhistorical Earthquake, but it would likely be a card cut to reduce deck size.

Don't forget that UFC can also be used with every single evil TC enhancement in the game. That seems playable. You'd have quite the toolbox using Image of Jealousy, Destructive Sin, not to mention High Places...

I would rather just use foreign wives.

If they burn something to kill it in my territory, then that's one less card to use against my full defense.

If they do draw 2+ cards, I get a free block.

Although UFC is protected from opponents while in play so their territory destruction doesn't work on it. I might use it plus High Places and TC enhancements as a part of some kind of combo deck but not in regular play. However, would UFC have it's identifier while it's not in play? In other words, would you be able to block with it from hand?

I really dig Unidentified Foreign Character. Its short, simple and does something super cool!

UFC also helps to get around TGT.

UFC is all about combos so I approve. The other ones suck.
