OH YEAH! Dominant!!!

I like this card because you can use it on defense too!

crustpope · « **Reply #2 on:** June 30, 2009, 11:33:39 AM »

I think this will easily become a multiplayer staple dominant.

This looks like so much fun!

Does Jacob make you tear your clothes in frustration? Does Ethiopian Treasurer keep rocking the boat? Do Zebulun and Widow make you feel like you are not even in the room?

Multi-player. Justin is about to win the game.

Ah, so true...

Looks like a fun card, as long as RR can't find a way to protect his heroes from shuffle...

This is definitely one of my most favorite cards, ever. Seriously, epic wyn.

And Stalks of Flax? Wow, that card is amazing as well! I'm assuming it is limited to two turns, as the article mentioned "Your powerful heroes might leave you for a couple rounds and go on a mission for another player."

I give the well-deserved props to Rob for introducing game-shaking new cards. Grapes of Wrath definitely brings pandemonium upon all of the best combos in the game.

Anyone else see the Chinook Helicopter in the sky...?

Yeah, I love this card too. I see myself using it largely as a defensive card.

Random question.

Is this the first card aside from AW to have modern stuff in it? I see a helecopter in the background.

Lawfuldog · « **Reply #7 on:** June 30, 2009, 11:55:21 AM »

Wow, the possibilities with this card are endless... Though I can see playing this on defense way more often than offense.

You guys realise this means there's a evil dominant too, right?

Hedgehogman · « **Reply #9 on:** June 30, 2009, 12:02:51 PM »

YES!! I've been waiting for this card to show up on Bryon's list.

This is probably one of my favorite new cards in the set.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #10 on:** June 30, 2009, 12:04:19 PM »

It's in the top ten for sure, but there's WAY cooler cards than this.

It is one of mine because its such a defensive card.

Besides Stalks of Flax, we see:
Wandering Spirit reprint (band to generic demon?)
Asahel reprint (as a "commando" blocker-chooser)
Orange popular in Minnesota due to a new evil fortress
A lot of grapes

So much for my strategy of going for the "meek and helpless" appearance...thanks Bryon

LadyNobody · « **Reply #14 on:** June 30, 2009, 01:15:11 PM »

Oh wow this looks fun...but my neighbor boy is terrified by it

Maybe multi player will actually be more fun now that we know Justin isn't guaranteed the win...

The Warrior · « **Reply #15 on:** June 30, 2009, 02:04:01 PM »

I was wondering when they would make a new dominant

I add my congratulations to everyone else. This card is AWESOME!!!!!

It helps with EVERYTHING that I have been bummed about for the last couple years (speed domination of T1-mp & pre-block ignore).

Orange will become quite popular this year. Maybe even in Minnesota.

Nope. Not gonna happen. Not here. Not now. Not ever.

Anyway, nice job on the card. It shall certainly be interesting to see.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #19 on:** June 30, 2009, 03:06:19 PM »

You still can't play it if they're ignoring you from entering battle and you don't have a placed card.

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 30, 2009, 03:31:44 PM »

All I know is this card is good enough to force Professor Alstad to post.

More shuffling crunchy goodness! Yippee-ki-yo-ki-yay...

Yep. Cards named after classic novels always do.

lightningninja · « **Reply #23 on:** June 30, 2009, 04:01:42 PM »

This card is amazing! You can even add madness to battle and then use it!

In that case I can't wait until Bryon spoils "Moby dork."
