Title: Obvious Troll is Obvious
Post by: Wings of Music on April 14, 2012, 09:35:38 PM
Here's a combo that my brother and I came up with.  The sole purpose is to Troll your opponent.  8)

Step 1:.  Rescue with a hero.  When opponent blocks play grapes and start a new battle.

Step 2:  Go in with a blue hero, play the long day, then die to start a new battle. 

Step 3: Go in with Lazarus, die by the numbers to start a new battle.

Step 4: Go in with a gold hero.  Play Ambush the city.  Start a new battle.

Step 5: Go in with a Green hero, play ANB.  Shuffle and start a new battle. 

Step 6: Go in with a low numbered hero play resurrection.  Bring back Lazarus.  Die and start a new battle.

Step 7: Watch as your opponent's head explodes.

You are missing the "play ambush the city, start a new battle" step.

Missed that one, I'll fix it.

Sounds epic. One problem though–you opponent may block with a lower numbered EC and play something to end the battle.

You can't play 'ambush the city" with a red hero.  Ambush, yes....ambush the city, no.

You can use Long Day infinite amount of times with Jubilee and Stillness, so long as you have enough blue heroes.

Genius.  I'll add that in for recursion if I ever build this.

It's not purely trolling, either. Most T1 defenses have few generic characters (the one commonly-used one becomes an hero after one block anyway) and attacking multiple times in a turn will eventually get you a walk-in.

True, but I'm from California, so you actually do see some defense over here :P (though not as much as past years).

Where in step four does it allow you to start a new battle? Does resurrection do that?

Resurrection allows you to add the character to battle, so if Lazarus dies again, you start a battle again.

Lazarus cannot enter battle twice in the same turn.

Lazarus cannot enter battle twice in the same turn.

All that need be done to fix this is to move the resurrection step to after the ANB step, so that the rescue is on a new turn an Lazarus can re-enter battle.

Technically, all of them (except Grapes) can be repeated after ANB through recursion (Battle Prayer/Jubilee). It's just tricky redrawing them.

And that's why you have the all powerful Eleazar's Sword.

Back in the day before it was not allowed to attack with the same unique heroes multiple times in the battle (and way before the hand limit) speed decks would attack with Claudia and Ethiopian Treasurer, play Obedience of Noah to choose Red Dragon or Emperor Claudius for constant initiative, then play Coat of Many Colors, a bunch of drawing cards, Search, then follow it up with The Long Day and Visions of Iddo the Seer (which retreats all Heroes). Then the speedster would make the same attack, using Lost Coin Found or Moses and Elders to get back Visions.

It was literally possible with the right draw to deck out on turn one.
