Welcome to the Official Redemption® Message Board!
The "at any time" could make for one very broken combo...depending on what the current rules for stalling are...
Either way, FooF Protection of Jerusalem might be fun to play around with too.
Is it too late for changes? I don't know if this has been covered but the wording on "The Great White Throne" seems problematic."You may banish an evil card in discard pile to search deck for a Hero. At any time, you may discard an evil card in territory to force opponent to withdraw all but one Evil Character in battle." So the way I read that you could discard all evil characters, fortresses and curses at any time. That would be obviously broken and I don't believe that would be the intention but with that wording why couldn't you? It doesn't say once a turn, or that you have to withdraw an evil character for it to work, or that it even has to be the battle phase. On other cards like the ones that discard all the cards in a hand, they work even if the opponent doesn't have any cards in hand, so to be consistent: "I discard your curse to force you to withdraw all but Red Dragon. But I only have Red Dragon in battle?!?That's ok, even though all is zero you are still withdrawing all but one evil character, now I discard your coliseum to do it again, then all your characters in territory and once the battle ends, the Red Dragon who is in territory now. Great, I guess I shouldn't play much defense anymore."I would love to know if there is some combination of rules that prevent this but even if there is, I think this could use some rewriting to clarify.

Because if they wanted it to say in any territory I would think they would say "discard an evil card in a territory".
QuoteThe "at any time" could make for one very broken combo...depending on what the current rules for stalling are...Can you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand where the problem lies...QuoteEither way, FooF Protection of Jerusalem might be fun to play around with too.That's a fun combo for sure, but this set also introduces more ways to counter it.
Please sticky!
