Title: The Angels at Sodom
Post by: stefferweffer on August 30, 2010, 09:27:14 AM

10/2 Unique Silver Male Hero

Interrupt all good fortresses and band to a Genesis hero.  Protected from evil dominants.  Cannot be prevented.

"And it came about when they had brought them outside, that one said, 'Escape for your life!  Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the valley; escape to the mountains, lest you be swept away.' "  Genesis 19:17

This would shure help against a Genesis deck. It may be a bit OP though.

Hm, I actually like that a lot. Although "has no effect" is kind of an outdated term. Just say "Interrupt all good fortresses and band to a Genesis hero. Protected from discard abilities on dominants. Cannot be prevented."

Edited accordingly.  Thanks for the wording suggestions.

I would add
"or you may discard a site"

I thought about that, but a hero ability that does this seems way overpowered.  Maybe once per game?

I like it. Would changing the Protection to "Protected from Evil Dominants" do anything other than shorten the wording? Unless I'm missing something, the only Dom that it stops either way is CM, so why not go with the shorter wording? I'm fairly certain Doubt stops being a Dominant when it's being treated as all that other stuff.

I hear Genesis totally needs help, and didn't just win nats with captain bands. So lets help them.

How does Genesis need any more help? Haven't they got eneough already?
