Darius' Decree Question
« on: April 21, 2010, 07:32:01 PM »

My opponent attacks me with a hero (SA not important).  I have DD activated.  I block with Rehoboam and cause one of my heroes to fight one of my opponent's heroes.  Is my opponent unable to play enhancements on his/her hero?

Darius' Decree - Opponents may not play good Enhancements from hand, unless an Evil Character is in battle. You may discard this card to discard all Heroes in set-aside areas.

Rehoboam - Select any two Heroes in territory to fight each other.  Losers are placed beneath owner’s draw pile(s).

That is how it's been ruled. A few of the more experienced T2 player have used this as a strategy with Idle Gossip.

That's a neat little trick!  If pulled off, you either get infinite initiative or your opponent's hero dies instantly.  Right?

Well, you won't get infinite initiative unless all of your enhancements have no/low numbers and your opponent's hero is big. But yeah, it can work very well.

King Rehoboam has a Play As in the REG. The two heroes have to come from the same territory, so you can not use your hero against your opponent's hero.

King Rehoboam

Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Crimson • Ability: 7 / 6 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Select any two Heroes in territory to fight each other. Losers are placed beneath owner's draw pile(s). • Play As: Select any two Heroes in a territory to fight each other. Losers are placed beneath owner's draw pile(s). • Identifiers: OT Male Human, King (Judah), Royalty, Fought Earthly Battle • Verse: I Kings 12:1 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Uncommon) • Background

Thats almost better, because if you can pick two of their heroes that cause mutual destruction, they are not allowed to play anything to save their heroes.  ;D

That's...interesting...I don't know if I've ever realized that before.

Of course, now that I've said that I realize there are always exceptions. If you (or your opponent) used Stalks of Flax, then you could conceivably have your hero and your opponent's hero in the same territory.  ;)
