Can anyone tell me about this card and it's special ability? Will it become a staple of every brown deck? Thanks.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think it will be posted on the boards until a State Tournament has been held. That reminds me, the Nevada State Tournament starts this afternoon.

We will get you updated ASAP.

Godspeed,
Mike

It has already been released with RTS, and posted on the boards quite a few times.

Yes, IMO, it will be a staple of every brown deck.

... and the Winged Leopard just got a little more popular.

Will you consider adding Complaint of Moses just to get your hero back from set aside?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #4 on:** April 24, 2009, 10:41:55 AM »

no, I wouldn't add one card to counter one card. However.... I might think about Josiah's Covenant, even with my Z-Temple Priest offense as that prevents it.

What happens if a female hero DOES rescue a lost soul in that time? Do they return from set aside, or still stay out the full four turns but then come back? The card doesn't seem to specify. Thanks.

If it doesn't say, they just come back at the end of the specified time.

So, no one plays Gathering or Provisions near you either? I know Complaint of Moses is a very narrow card, and I wouldn't use it either, but it DOES stop more than one card.

Too bad Persian Presidents wouldn't work well with Haman.

Oh wait.

Since a state is starting in <3 hrs, I think I can post this now:

Thanks. It looks like further "incentive" to use more NT and/or female heroes? Was this some of the thinking behind the card?

Last year when this card was made a lot of people were acting as if the sky was falling because of Z's Temple decks (we see the same thing this year with TGT decks). Haman gets around all of the Z's Temple + Cov w/Phin protection and puts a hurtin on those O.T. males. He also has synergy with another Persian character that was released in RoA.

He also has synergy with *thud* *biff* *oof* [edited by ROSES]

They are trying to force all players to use decks built around The Garden Tomb.

This was tailor-made to destroy Genesis offenses! They've become too strong, and everyone uses them!

This card was only made so that you could use Haman's Plot to get name-on-name bonus rather than ripping it. You don't need to discard since you've already set aside.

Quick question: Does Z-Temple protect its priests while they are set-aside?

Unless otherwise stated the default for targets are cards in play. Since Z's Temple doesn't state otherwise and set aside cards are not in play I would expect that they are not under the "umbrella of protection".

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #19 on:** April 25, 2009, 10:03:51 AM »

So is there a gap of time between the set-aside period ending and the heroes being discarded? The set-aside period would end at the beginning of my turn (Prep Phase), but could a female hero still try to make a successful RA later in my turn (Battle Phase)? Haman says "during those turns."

robm · « **Reply #20 on:** April 25, 2009, 03:25:59 PM »

This card combined with others could tear through the majority of an opponents offense. (assuming they have three OT heroes)

Set three OT heroes aside then discard three more heroes with plot!

Ouch!

Does Haman get to set aside three heroes total or three from each opponent?

Bryon · « **Reply #21 on:** April 25, 2009, 04:08:37 PM »

total. per block. Ouch.

BTW, I"m selling 2 of these in the Market section. =D
