Title: Most hated cards!! Poll
Post by: Jmbeers on July 06, 2012, 09:44:45 AM
I want to know what cards people hate.

If you put a card on the list please explain somewhat. Give a reason for your destine

I'll start: I Hate TGT

The card bothers me because it can make a bad/average player beat very good players. But it really gets to me because it's extremely easy to play for its power level and dosen't hurt your deck at all to play it. At least things like CWD affect you as well but I'm sure CWD will make this list anyways  :D

TGT can hurt yourself.  I've seen people lose because they used it.

One card I don't like is the 2-count lost soul.  On its own, it isn't that bad.  Combined with Falling Away, it can be devastating.

More specifically, combine the 3-Liner with FA and then Burial.  :o

Most hated cards for me: sites.

I have seen too many games lost because of site access, even for decks that include site access cards.

The Garden Tomb, Uzzah, and New Jerusalem. I think all of these are bad for the game.

The Garden Tomb (like other pre-block ignores) reduces player interaction and doesn't require a significant amount of expertise to pull off. It takes away fun in the game. There are some counters, but those are generally dealt with easily enough.

Uzzah is an essentially uncounterable block. No interesting decisions, no interesting interaction, just a "okay, this is over" letdown. "End the battle" and "suicide" cards are similar, but at least those require a combination of cards. Uzzah's the pits.

New Jerusalem, the case has been made many times. You know the reasons. Rushes through games, makes the game a race to 3 souls, all that jazz.

Is that an "I agree" or just a random quote?

Anyways thanks for the picks so far, keep them comming.

I don't really like the CBN Protection cards. Protection is fine, the CBN stuff is annoying though.

Watchful Servant. Sites and A-Bomb are both really annoying too.

I guess it's anti-meta cards for me. mainly HHI. I also hate lampstand sooo much.

Journey to Egypt.

I love my Egyptian defense, that thing is a CBN shut down :/

The card that is 5x worse than TGT is He is Risen. That card wrecks defenses like no other, and if it weren't for HiR, TGT wouldn't be nearly so bad.

EDIT: I realized that not everyone reading this thread plays T2. The above comment primarily relates to T2. Settle down now.

Agree with the thought that TGT can be used against you.  Watch out if your opponent is laying down Disciples...you may want to hang on to that Tomb unless you want them walking past you as well.

Agree also that He Is Risen is ridiculously powerful, especially in T2 (though it is still insane in T1).  It is easily the most powerful card without CBN.

Most hated card: Confusion.  It'd be better if the stupid thing had any numbers on it, but noooooooo.  Has to have no abilities at all, so you can plop it down without passing initiative and then move right along to either dying or playing a battle-winner/chump-block/end-the-battle card.

Agree on Confusion. Which is why Nazareth is one of my favorite cards.

I keep a list of my 5 most hated cards in the game

1. Confusion
2. The Garden Tomb
3. Falling Away
4. New Jerusalem
5. Mayhem used to be here, but with its errata it fell off the list, and I haven't found a replacement for it yet.

1. Uzzah
2. Mayhem
3. Pentecost
4. Samuel
5. New Jerusalem Dom.

- You might notice that TGT is not on my list. I think that card made people start using single colored defenses, so it isnt too bad.

1. Sam's Edict
2. Plot
3. GoS
4. Nazzy
5. ASA

Who else doesn't like Edict? I find it OP in a Deck that already has a lot of crazy battlewinners.
Plot, yea sure, win the battle and kill 2 of my other best guys too and w/ Gallows it's worse...
Gates of Samaria, since when is a practically CBN game-rule death-worse-then-archer card that made a common site insane good?
Is explaination nessessary here? Any card that is comparable to Hezzy's Signet Ring that can't be stopped easily is bad in my opinion.
ASA is most likely the most OP card printed so far, it's really bad that the first card that can hit Set-Aside Forts is CBN. I wouldn't mind if it was negate able at least.

CWD is my biggest foe

CwD is my best friend, it stops Uzzy and other annoyances (like KoT)

I remember what took Mayhem's spot now, Covenant with Death.  That card is just too hard to get rid of for what it does.  A card should not counter almost all of its counters like that one does.

I can see why people hate TGT so much, but there isn't any particular card that I hate. (Unless if it's cards you hate pulling out of boosters, than that's an all new kettle of doughnuts.)

Post by: CJSports on July 07, 2012, 10:10:45 AM
I hate playing against HHI but absolutely love playing with it. I actually don't mind TGT much even if it had no ability however the thing that gets to me is the CBN band. Now a days all I do is drop a samaria site on MMoJ and I'm all set.

Least favorite card to play against but favorite to play with is TGW

AutO. Free CBN: drawing, exchanging (from deck, d/c or territory), and bullet-proofing?

I mean play against, because I can turn it on them, and I don't worry about it too much.

King of Tyrus-either version. Although the orange version is harder to defeat. Also evil characters that are immune to "lone heroes".  ANB and Mayhem are cards I love to play,but hate my opponent using them against me :)

Iron Pan. This effective shuts most meta decks down, but I seem to be the only one playing against it.
Title: Most hated cards!! Poll
Post by: jbeers285 on July 09, 2012, 06:41:24 PM
I would think you would also hate CwD then bc it's very similar to Iron pan but IMO harder to get rid of

Post by: PapaSmurf on November 22, 2012, 07:30:18 PM
the TGT is a really fun to play. It is also really fun when you put disciples in there. But some of the cards that i hate are the angel under the oak, for one reason, it is invisible with Gideon. And the deck that it goes with is preatty much who ever goes first preatty much wins. I also hate Nazereth, it gets very annoying. I cant wait for the new cards to come out!

Read the date of the last post in a thread before posting. If the discussion has been dead longer than three months you probably shouldn't post in it.
In his defense, Redemption Card Play is not commonly posted in, and it would have been decently high up on the list.

But yes, that is the policy around here (it often pops up in red if it's been longer than 14 days), but it's not a big deal, especially if you add a valid discussing point, which you did. So welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay!

I hate sam offeences. All they do is draw and se CBN battle winners. It screws my decks over.
