Title: Philistine Outpost
Post by: Professoralstad on August 06, 2009, 11:06:26 PM: So, Philistine Outpost is probably one of my new favorite cards. I just realized that you can discard a generic Philistine from your deck to satisfy the cost, then use its ability to search for the Philistine you discarded.

Imagine this scenario:

Opponent attacks. I use PO to discard Philly Armorbearer to search discard pile for Philly Armorbearer, and exchange him with a Philistine in my deck. On opponent's next turn, I do the same thing. And do it again. So I can search for any Philistine for any block, and if one gets discarded, I can just use Philistine Armorbearer to get him, then sacrifice one evil card to get PA back.

Hooray for the Philistines!

Philistine + Philistine Chariots and Horses + Overwhelmed by Philistines + Darius' Decree is active + Opponent's ET

I thought this was obvious the first time I saw it. Wasn't that like the intention of the card?

Well anyway, yes, this card is pretty amazing. I'm still not totally confident about Philistines in T1, though.
