There is no reason for choosing NJ over TSC or am I mistaken? I think that's pretty sad that NJ became so much weaker..About the only negative to TSC is that it can be stopped/hindered by anti-search abilities like Hezekiah's Signet Ring. New Jerusalem was boosted somewhat in the Revelation of John set by New Jerusalem/Bride of Christ, One of Seven, and The Woman with Child (which also boosts TSC), but it definitely is much weaker than TSC as we all know. I agree that it is sad and I'm definitely hoping that something will be done through this thread! I'm also all for nerfing TSC, but sadly, boosting NJ is not the best way to go about that. Now, if TSC gets an errata where it can't be in the same deck as SoG (instead of NJ), and NJ can be played with other players' SoGs... That would be more interesting

Simply make the definition of "Simultaneously" something similar to this:"When a card has an ability that allows it to be played simultaneously with another card, and that other card is played, the card with the simultaneous ability may be played immediately before the triggering card is activated. The simultaneous ability is now pending, but it cannot activate while the first card is completing. The triggering card is then carried out, and the simultaneous card will activate once the triggering card has completed."
Unlike NJ, TSC promotes strategy. This makes for more interesting games.
These advantages wont affect most games though and with proper deck building there shouldnt be a big difference.
I definitely want to steer away from dominant rescues. I like the battles!

TSC gives you more decisions to make, but those decisions are still autopilot decisions. Is there a LS in opponent's LoB that is ruining your deck? Play SoG earlier, since TSC can bail you out later.

The big thing missing from your analysis is that playing SoG twice (and possibly much earlier in the game) is huge when LS abilities can be oppressive against certain decks. Being able to dump SoG early to get rid of your opponent's Dull can easily be game-changing. Can't do that if you have to hold SoG and wait for NJ.Quote from: bluefrog1288 on June 13, 2018, 06:23:00 PMI definitely want to steer away from dominant rescues. I like the battles!I (and it seems like most other players) agree with this, but TSC doesn't really change this vs. NJ. TSC is just another SoG or AotL rescue. You still redeem 3 LS each game w/ SoG/TSC/AotL, the only difference is you don't know which Dom TSC is going to copy.
