Title: Worship of Milcom on Abaddon
Post by: Deck Metrics on July 25, 2011, 10:21:40 PM

Worship of Milcom (Ki)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Black • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Set Evil Character aside for 3 turns. Character returns with abilities 1/1 or 12/12. Abilities must be announced when character returns. • Play As: Set aside Evil Character for 3 turns. On return, holder chooses to make Evil Character abilities 1/1 or 12/12 [increase or decrease abilities]. • Identifiers: OT, False Religious Practice • Verse: II Kings 23:13 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Common)
See also:
•      Increase or Decrease Abilities
•      Set Aside

Will this make Abaddon a 12/12 or a 22/22? I figure a 12/12, but the increase/decrease confuses me.

12/12 is correct.

The basic intent of the card is to take a character that has an ability you like and either make them stronger by the numbers (12/12) or easier to get initiative (1/1).

Examples for reference: 

Promo Goliath can be made 1/1 to help get initiative after your opponent presents a new blocker or against a giant-slayer.

Herod the Great can be made 12/12 to help win by the numbers against a presumed solo rescuer.
