You use taking egypt's wealth to steal your opponent's HP and then use it and rip it! How amazing is that?!

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1 on:** April 20, 2009, 04:11:31 PM »

How many people even use HP?

I know it's almost no possibility... but it's still pretty awesome if you pulled it off. Especially just like against your friend or something.

There will be plenty of HPs at Nats this year in T2.

I might just have to make a "meanness" deck.

I have a feeling T1 will have quite a few as well....I mean, seriously!

You could totally base a deck off of Ehud+immune+taking wealthx5+highway. That would be awesome!

With Storehouse, yes....

Tim reed first did this (that I saw him do it) he made a brown/gold deck when G/h came out for JUST this purpose.

Now the question is, was it very successful?

I think doing that to someone else's cards is seriously uncool, but that's just me. I barely like destroying my own property but to have someone else destroy it...not cool at all.

At winning? no gold wasn't a powerhouse back with g/h, did he tear hp? yes.

If my opponent didn't want me to rip their HP a little monetary inducement might convince me not to.

Seriously, though the ripping part of HP's special ability has been visited and revisited and revisited. Rob wants the card ripped when used. As a player, if I put HP in my deck, I have to realize that my opponent may use it against me. It's one of the drawbacks of the card.

And the odds are miniscule. Since this is the only card that can grab HP and you have to have it in your hand, the only risk is when:
a). opponent is playing gold and not some other defense
b). opponent bothered to include this card - difficulty bonus for doing it just to fish for your HP
c). he has to know when you have it in your hand

Oh I understand the need for it being ripped and that's a chance that you take (and are willing to do it if it's in your deck). The part of someone else doing it just rubs me the wrong way. I had one in my deck and didn't rip it a single time at Nats...I just wanted the option if the game was on the wire. However, if someone else did it and took the enjoyment of the ripping. I don't know it just sets with me wrong.

As for your statistics Schaef, with my kind of luck....that kind of stuff always happens against me. My opponent always has what they need at my most inconvenient of times.

I see the logic, I see the unique and powerful strategy behind it. I just don't like it. Like MJB suggested, I would somehow try to bribe them not to rip it because if one my cards are to be ripped...I want to be the one ripping it.

As stated before, I believe the odds will be more than miniscule at this year's Nats. With the new Haman promo, brown should be one of the most used defenses in Type 2. HP will show up a lot. The fact that Judges has become a viable offense for T2 means that Taking Egypt's Wealth has more of a chance to be used effectively. Shoot, the more I think about it the more I am inclined to build a gold/brown T2 deck.

As someone who abhors unsportsmanlike conduct it may seem odd that I would promote this idea. But like MJB says, I am only following the rules.

And it would be icing on the cake if I could beat my son's tally of four torn HPs at 2005 Nats, especially if they're not mine!

Hey Pol,
Most people know the abilities and everything from the newest RTS download.

*EDIT* Gates of Jerusalem is the other promo...I tried to blow the cards up but couldn't tell which is the state promo and which is the regional promo.
