In a teams game my partner and I can kill off all your heros in territory in about a round and a half. (especially if we let you rescue a LS) From that point on, any new hero woudl start off with 0/6 and it would get worse from there. we would not even NEEED to play face of death because no one would be alive to be affected by it. This card is very powerful as a disease in Teams.

I agree it'd be a little on the OP'd side if it added every phase.

What I WOULD like to see it do, is just permanently decrease every hero 0/2 or 0/3 until healed, regardless of if the curse is active. That would give diseases a nice competitive edge when paired with Weakness and other fun cards.

maybe now miraculous hanky's will see more play.

Even if PWD isn't really changed in terms of how it works, I'd still love to see diseases/poisons become competitively powerful.

i just cant deal with all the play as/ erratas. i think it hurts the game in the long run-but what can you do right?

I agree, this is a strategy that should be given a boost. Especially if there were more EC's that were immune or ignored diseased heros. High places made some diseases easier to place but that just gives up initiative so in a way it rewards the hero, EC's need to be able to ignore or be immune/play first against all diesased heros in order to make it truly powerful.

I like how my comments about this card in fall of 2007 were largely ignored. Now others finally have started agreeing with what I stumbled upon...

Which comments? And, I think you know I've loved this card for a long time now.

Captain Kirk · « **Reply #58 on:** July 14, 2010, 12:48:41 PM »

My comments were that the card's ability did not fit the description of a disease based on the way the REG was worded. I made a ridiculously long post about it (since purged) that generated less than half a dozen responses.

Looks like you stumbled upon the word upon.

Kirk, you were ahead of your time. 2 years in fact.

As an aside, most players don't play it like a disease. I faced it twice in Type 2 Multi and we only applied the effect once. 7 different guys...no one said boo.

I think everyone here is arguing around the issue. From the current REG and the fact that it has a Disease identifier that hasn't been eratta'd away and Rob says so, the only way to rule this card currently is that it is a Disease and does stack cumulatively and permanently. Trying to argue that this is not the case is silly because the rules say it is. What people should really be discussing is the best way to hot fix this before the new REG comes out and hopefully has a better definition of Poison/Disease.

Is it possible to fix this before Nationals?

Exactly what I have been trying to say...except Pol says it of so more eloquently...

cumulative and permanent? epic. I might have to build myself a new deck.

That's because Polarius is an experienced TV spokesperson.

Go ahead and build your PwD decks for Nationals but I recommend that y'all have a backup deck for when it's ruled that PwD works the same way it's always been played.

I've rebuilt my current deck around 5 times already. one more time can't hurt.

Soooo, you will be stripping it of its status as a disease?

Nope, it'll just play the same way as it always has. The definition of disease might change, but you shouldn't worry about it as long as cards keep playing the way they always have.

Yes. The card will now be called Plagued by Namaan.
