Hi there,

maybe I missed it but for e.g. brown and orange I did not find anything like horses (Swift, Egyptian, 2000, Namaan's...).

Is there any similar cards that can be used for brown (and orange) to get the same effect (well black is limited to Philis if they want to interrupt + draw + play)? Or will we get it soon?

Thanks for your responses!

Bye

Yes, but Wickedness Abounds does not interrupt and it only works if opponent has more cards in hands than player. 2 major drawbacks IMO. I'd like to see sth. like the mentioned horses or so for brown too.

That's correct. So is there anything similar powerful for brown already (without crimson, black, gray or PG splash which would allow for playing such cards)?

Yes, this helps (as I wrote above) but it's still a drawback compared to brigades which can fully make access of such cards. After a quick (but not complete) check brown also seem to need some interrupt support regarding enhancements in general ...

Play a Brown split brigade card that includes the colors who do have access to "Horses" abilities. Problem solved.

Good point.

They just released the Persian archers/horses. Brown has The Jeering Youths for playing first as well as another EC who grants initiative. Orange can easily play first and is fast in other ways, especially with Revelation and Gates of Hell. Brown has always been a slow defense, and less played because of it as well as lack of powerful ECs/EEs. Phase 2 seemed to fix all of that. Brown and PG used to be a very popular defense with banding brown ECs banded to mostly Assyrians with 2k horses and run Gib Trick/Forgotten History. I know YWR is a staple but people might not realize that YWR allows the opponent to start a new RA, so that defense is very much still viable, just not really used anymore.
