How would type 1 be affected by allowing a player to have 2 of an Identical but Generic character per every 50 cards.

I personally think this could open the game up to better defenses but would it be too much of a boost to defense?

It would be so fun to see Assyrians rock T1. I'm probably against the idea, but I'm curious what other people have to say.

Jmbeers · « **Reply #2 on:** May 07, 2012, 12:26:03 AM »

Yes it would probably make Assyrians a Tier 1 defense but would make demos and magicians better and give Pharisees and Sadducees a boost.

I think it could be fun

Jerome we should play some games that allow that when I get home and we could offer a little better opinion on the topic

Faith ain't easy to understand 1 bird in the bush beats 2 in your hand

Legion already does this type of thing, and I don't feel like it is overpowered.

I support this, as I've always been a fan of generics.

Wings of Music · « **Reply #5 on:** May 07, 2012, 10:51:19 AM »

It depends on what the limit is. If it's a limit of 2 I'm for it, if it's a limit of anything more than that I'm against it.

Jmbeers · « **Reply #6 on:** May 07, 2012, 11:16:33 AM »

I was actually thinking 2 for the first 50 and then you may add one for the next 50 like how it is right now. It would look like this.

50 cards: 2 generics
100 cards: 3 generics
150 cards: 4 generics

Wings of Music · « **Reply #7 on:** May 07, 2012, 11:32:10 AM »

That I could go for.

megamanlan · « **Reply #8 on:** May 07, 2012, 12:43:37 PM »

I'd support this idea.

Praeceps · « **Reply #9 on:** May 07, 2012, 01:00:39 PM »

As long as we keep it restricted to generics, I think it would be great. Defense could use a boost that's not a chump block and this could do it.

Trembling Demon is Generic.

Yes and there are many ways to deal with him: discarding an enhancement or any FBTN Hero for two.

Holy of Holies deals with both of those ways.

Then we would be putting another rarely used card back into circulation like Disciples did with CoT. Having two of them isn't that big of a deal. And I thought we wanted to slow down offenses?

Trembling Demon isn't that unused, but I don't think it matters. I like this idea, and I'm going to propose it for ROOT.

HoH+Trembling Demon isn't an obscure combo. And it's definitely a "chump" block.

But it's probably not that big of a deal.

I meant Holy of Holies was unused, sorry for the confusion. I probably should have said underused, as well. And I'm all for trying this in ROOT.

And TD can be ignored in a fair few ways: TGT, Zeb, WS, 3 Nails...

Holy of Holies isn't that unused either since the two generally go hand in hand. Especially in this meta.

Wings of Music · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2012, 02:11:30 PM »

So true. I really think that this should be tried in ROOT, I'm liking this more and more.

Master Q · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2012, 02:26:31 PM »

Because Speed decks need more Sabbath Breakers.

On the flipside, Panic Demons would get a boost

Wings of Music · « **Reply #20 on:** May 07, 2012, 02:31:52 PM »

I don't really expect people would add extra Sabbath Breakers.

I would expect more trembling demons, more Proud Pharisees and more Generic Assyrians.

Crown of Thorns.

Should've known that that since it's in my deck.

Also I think the rule won't change that much cause all it'll really do is add more defense which is better
