Title: Those who destroy kings
Post by: stefferweffer on September 22, 2010, 08:49:51 AM

2/4 Gold Curse

If your human female evil character blocks an opponent's male human hero, negate all special abilities on heroes.

"Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings."  Prov.31:3


(Trying to create cards that might make more female ECs see play)

I would put that in my herod's deck (since right now, I have two females :))

Gee, I wonder which two they are...Salome and Herodias perhaps?

O yeah, forgot about salome.  So I have three females in my herod deck (gomer is not the third one)

I like that it works well with both Herods and Egyptians. My only suggestion would be a "while blocking" wording rather than an "if blocks" wording, because the latter only works preemptively (as an artifact), while the second is still good after the fact (as an enhancement).

Great.  I've only got one female in my Egyptian deck though..

You should have two. If you're using Potiphar's Wife, you need Queen Tahpenes. If you're using Queen Tahpenes, you need Potiphar's Wife. Simple as that.

I've got Queen Tahpenes, but I don't have the enhancement power to back up Potiphar's Wife.  (Plus, I've only got one, and that's in my Women set)

Potiphar's Wife is a good Initiative-getter for gold.
