just because something is the status quo does not mean it is always right. this game should be played by consistency and the letter of the law, not always by the status quo.
STAY IN SCHOOL! EAT YOUR VEGGIES!
as odd as Abishai killing David with a spear, which he would do if David happened to be the top card of opponent's draw pile when Abishai attacked with Warrior's Spear on him.
Abishai does not kill David in that case, since David was never "alive."

that combo is nowhere near broken. and you can only do it twice, anyways.
Further, you can combo the mystery artifact with I Am Patience for even more (unlimited) territory decimation.
Players want LESS territory destruction, not rediculously powerful territory decimation.

and you get to destroy half a typical defense.
QuotePlayers want LESS territory destruction, not rediculously powerful territory decimation. wrong. players want less TGT and pre-block ignore, not less territory destruction.
Territory destruction is what makes TGT so strong. TGT does nothing on its own. TGT is also the most often complained about Pre-block card. Thus, countering territory destruction helps to counter TGT.

Women as Snares, Holy Grail, and Jephthah have won many, many more games than TGT.

But even in current TGT decks, the territory destruction is what causes TGT to do anything against a mono-color deck. If Women as Snares and Holy Grail were not in the game, TGT decks would not be all that.

I can't say much about pre-Patriarch times, but I agree that TD is a powerful strategy, one that in my experiance does win games, and one that is enhanced by TGT (or vice versa).
The dam is already starting to show cracks and leaks. Let's just errata Ithamar and avoid the mess.
