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.

For that matter, you can make ET blue and play Reuben's Torn Clothes.

Oh wait, Jacob can already do that.

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

Btw, just for kicks, FBTN hero to purple anyone?

CountFount · « **Reply #13 on:** February 07, 2009, 06:10:32 PM »

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

Oh cool, then you could use AOCp with it. Nice.

CountFount · « **Reply #15 on:** February 07, 2009, 06:13:48 PM »

How about a Green or Purple Salome? or one green Elders of Jerusalem

CountFount · « **Reply #16 on:** February 07, 2009, 06:19:30 PM »

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?

oh yah! 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.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #18 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.

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...

Master KChief · « **Reply #20 on:** February 08, 2009, 04:33:20 AM »

syrian archer/gold shield + antiochus works far better. guaranteed discard of a hero in battle everytime.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #21 on:** February 08, 2009, 07:48:52 AM »

So, in that case, you would use archer's weapon before you used Antie's SA?

Master KChief · « **Reply #22 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.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #23 on:** February 08, 2009, 03:17:03 PM »

Ah, I didn't know it worked like that. Cool!

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

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #24 on:** February 09, 2009, 07:41:39 PM »

I don't see how that pertains to this thread at all....
