Title: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: CountFount on February 07, 2009, 12:05:26 PM
Gold Shield
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Gray • Ability: 0 / 5 • Class: Weapon • Special Ability: You may discard this card to convert a human Hero in play to a Hero in the brigade of your choice. • Attributes: Depicts a Weapon, Connected with David • Identifiers: OT, Depicts a Weapon, Connected with David


"We've" been brainstorming on best ways to use Gold Shield. We thought how using Gold Shield could be used to convert one's own ET to teal. We even toyed with the idea of using it as a defense for a site deck. We know it is connected with David but we wonder if David (kings) could hold GS?

Has anyone used this card?

How did you use it? and did it prove useful?

I think a green Ethiopian Treasurer would be more sinister.

Were you thinking of putting it on another w/c ec and using in on Namaan while he had his chariot? Wouldn't Namaan have to have been converted to a Hero first?

Yes, but namaan seems to draw fire very nicely. :-p

I liked the teal ET+ burning incense+Altar of Incense active.
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: TimMierz on February 07, 2009, 02:36:35 PM
For that matter, you can make ET blue and play Reuben's Torn Clothes.

Oh wait, Jacob can already do that. :D

You also have the issue of ET not being from Genesis.

I like this idea. You also get the benefit of having an NT teal hero.

Gentlemen,

This may come as a shock, but the idea has royalty due to Count Fount should it be used on anyone over 40.

I disagree.  This combo was thought up shortly after the release of Gold Shield.

gold shield + ET to Blue + Job Overcomes + Opponent playing a splash deck

It seems that it could bring some help to RED as well. Red ET, Red Beniah....Dust off the red....

I have another thread under rulings just for that question. The REG says that it only applies to GC to EC not GC to GC. Cool huh?
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: CountFount on February 07, 2009, 06:24:07 PM
oh yah!  ;D ;D sweet and i do hate it when you play healing of naaman cause he does lose his ability  :'( :'( it is so anoying although if he get discarded and shufled back into draw pile he comes back as a EC

I think with all of this brain storming, Some Gold shields will be in demand. Get em while they are hot. ;D
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on February 07, 2009, 07:37:06 PM
When a hero is converted to an EC he loses his ability, not if he goes to a different brigade, or else training in R would negate that heroes ability.
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: lightningninja on February 08, 2009, 12:41:41 AM
Antiochus with Gold shield. They either discard their hero, which is great. Or they sacrafice something, and then they can't even support their hero. It's awesome. And do you have to use it in battle? I don't think so...
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: Master KChief on February 08, 2009, 04:33:20 AM
syrian archer/gold shield + antiochus works far better. guaranteed discard of a hero in battle everytime.
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: BubbleBoy on February 08, 2009, 07:48:52 AM
So, in that case, you would use archer's weapon before you used Antie's SA?
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: Master KChief on February 08, 2009, 01:41:02 PM
yes, the gold shield on archer activates before antiochus' ability does. just convert the hero in battle to a color your opponent most likely doesnt have, then discard it with antiochus.
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: BubbleBoy on February 08, 2009, 03:17:03 PM
Ah, I didn't know it worked like that. Cool! ;D

I usually use Gold Shield on King Cushy, not really sure why.

Gold Shield converts any character to one brigade, no matter how many brigades it started with.

Provided that character is human.  I'm sure you knew that but it often gets overlooked so I thought I'd mention it.
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield

You know I meant "any character" as "a valid character of however many brigades"...

They're tryng to help and you won't take it. It will help all if you type better and don't spam. We won't need forum purges as much. You'll learn to type better and faster in non-1337 speak. It's good for us all.

MUSICIAN,

Don't worry about other people being "rude", just worry about learning from them. Keep a level head, these knuckleheads don't mean anything by what they said.

NO, there's no reason at all to pick on you, but you just have to move on.

Not really but you asked why.

If you cried over this, you need to leave the computer and this forum because it's not helping you at all to become a better person or player.

Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on February 10, 2009, 04:41:18 PM
i could probaly learn better if they stoped picking on me. look i hate to be rude i was crying when i was and when they wher. cause i hate it but how am i gonna learn if they are being rude? maybe they should show me the corect word instead of picking on me.

you see what im saying?
Musicain, I am rude because when I tried to be nice you didn't listen. I deal with Theraven878 who sometimes won't listen unless you get exceedingly blunt with him (He is improving this). I was just trying a different approach to get you to realize typing badly is Annoying, Unproductive, and sometimes just spam.

Yes musicain, I know EXACTLY how you feel, because I used to type like you, well...I could spell was ....ahem. The reason I get on your case so much is I know what happens when you DON'T type well. It is like an explosives expert telling someone to be careful with explosives because it could hurt you and others. When you type bad three things happen with your post A People read it, get annoyed because they have to reread it, then when it makes no sense, have a very good reason to be MEAN to you. B Your post gets ignored because people don't wanna waste time on a post that they have to read five times C you get hurt because people just don't wanna put a ton of effort into reading an off topic post.

Musicain, I am not doing this to be mean but how many people are going to ask you to clean up your posts before you get the hint? Believe me, learning to type well isn't as hard as you think. I know you think we are being mean about this but truth is the people here are right. I've learned this the hard way and talking from experience it may mean a few more seconds of effort, but it is well worth it.

Feel free to ignore all of this as you have in the past, just don't be surprised if I am a bit rude to you about it in the future then.

Signed,
'Wase a felo bed typr!'

'Wase a felo bed typr!'

It's true.  RR's posts use to look like that.  I'm so glad he takes the time to actually write what he means now.  The dude is brilliant at Redemption but it used to be that I had no idea what he was talking about because I couldn't read what he wrote.  ;)
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: lightningninja on February 10, 2009, 07:24:43 PM
So here's RR's logic, in all the parts:

1. I got shot, so therefore I can shoot other people; I know how they feel.
2. I will insult you because I warned you, and even though I am (21?) I will still drop lower than you because you (11?) didn't listen.

Seriously? You suprise me sometimes.  :-\

fire scares me

Also, I did not shoot him. I made a rude post because sometimes that gets a message across, it didn't obviously :-p

He can not listen all he wants, I'm just warning him people are going to be rude to him if it continues. It's like sticking your finger in the pencil sharpener, its not a threat, its a warning that doing it is going to hurt, even if I'm not the one doing it.  I will refrain from being rude to him as much as possible, You are right there, I should be nicer from now on. I was only rude to try to get the point across as said because it worked with other people who don't listen. Also, Ninja, I'm sure you have been ninja'd before, yet you ninja people now? ;)

I starting "lurking" the boards when I started playing Redemption after Christmas 2005.  I don't remember if I set up an account on the old boards or not.  I'm pretty sure I did cuz I set one up for these boards as soon as they opened.

gathered, converted E.T. to white bands to Hur with your gifts up. You Go out (draw 7 cards) then play words (3 cards) followed by Love at first sight on your opponent (8 cards). You will have won the game by this point.

Not to meantion even if you don't have an aocp in the deck, it'll play mad mind games with the opp.
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield

Thats why alot of players prepare for aocp+e.t. its a devastating combo.
Title: Re: Needing Ideas for Gold Shield
Post by: Captain Falcon on February 15, 2009, 10:56:48 PM
what'd make it more amazing would be if E.T had gathering redirected of him, and gathered to PoC. 
So if they do block w/a character from hand, you get to search :D
