Has anyone tried to make a deck that makes the opponent pay the cost of good cards? 

Basically you place enhancements like Holy Unto the Lord and Primary Objective which are not optional and when they rescue, you play a choose the rescuer card to make them discard from hand. 

It is a little difficult to set up but it could pay off pretty big, especially if they have a full hand. 

Um, no its not.  I thought I explained it clearly. 

You place enhancements (PO, HUtL) on the heros using Tithe or Sent to Serve? and when the hero enters battle the enhancement activates, it is not optional.  Additionaly the abilities on those cards are not optional so when you play a choose the rescuer card (lies) to make your opponent use that hero then they are forced to play P.O. etc.    Of course they would get the benefit of that card but hopefully you plan a way to deal with that, like have only the 2-line soul available.  I'm not sure if Raider's Camp would work for that.

Oh, it's a tryhard... Doesn't seem worth the set-up for such a small rewards, you would have to discard your hand for PO as well, and Holy unto the Lord is pretty fail.

why dont we use these combos ourselves?

Hey,

With all of the "place an enhancement on a character, it activates when that character enters battle" abilities the player that placed the enhancement carries it out even if an opponent controls the character it is on when that happens.  So this won't work like you want it to with those cards.  Sent to Serve is worded slightly differently so it might work, but I'm not sure.

Why is this? If i placed the card then i do what the placed card says because i control the placed card? makes since.
