Have pigs lost soul out. Rescue with Hur. Play Love at First Sight  

the SA on Pigs LS is a protect/restrict (just like Jerusalem Tower). Play As: Restrict all decks from being forcibly drawn from.    

Love at First Sight then.

Love at First Sight then.

I think that works...and it would be pretty funny too (from a certain point of view).  I think I may tinker with that idea in T2 (if I have the time between classes).

Tinker all you want, but be warned, it won't work.

Why will this not work? You mean it won't win you much or its ruled not to work this way?

The Pigs LS is not a restrict, it's a Prevent. LaFS cannot be prevented. MJB was just hoping that someone would use his erroneous assertion in a thread later on, and Ring Wraith merely obliged.

However, if you have the Thorns LS and the Pigs LS out at the same time and you play ANB, then you get to start a new turn and hope that there's a Hero in your first three cards, since your opponent won't have a hand or a territory (except LS's).

Why do I need to hope for a hero when I can use any one of a number of heroes in my territory?  


Playcing ANB before you have Nazareth out is like northerners believing in Punxsutawney Phil.  

Fixed.

Benedictus, ET, Unified Kingdom, The Place High Priest, place ANB on Ashael converted w/ Gold Shield, Band Ashael in w/ thorns and pigs out, everything is shuffled except Ashael, You get a LS, your turn again, RA with Ashael, LS. WIN!!!

A couple other new rulings to announce

1 - Characters cannot be immune to themselves or protected from themselves.

2 - If a player makes a successful rescue attempt, that player may not make another rescue attempt until each of their opponent's has had a turn.

Love at First Sight then.

Hahahahahaha.  I actually thought of this combo last night.  I was very sad-faced when JSB23 pointed out that Love at First Sight was CBN.

I will toss in a free mini-combo idea that I've been toying with...

If your opponent has Nazareth and you have no lost souls available make a RA/BC with Hur.  Your opponent can't shuffle in seven because of Nazareth so on his next turn he will end up having to dump 8 cards from his hand in order to get down to count.

That's brilliant! Not only that, but since he'll have 15 cards in his hand, he'll only get to draw one during his draw phase. Take that!

That is so not how it went.

"Yes! I'm down to 13 cards, I get to draw next turn!"
"Not if I can do anything about it"

Based on your experience, how effective was this strategy...?  

It would have been far more effective had the "no lost souls available" condition been met.   And had it not been a T2 game.  

It was kinda funny watching you have to count the cards in your hand before your every draw phase though.  


These boards are soooooooooo much faster when I use FireFox 4.
