Is there an easier way to retrieve and play RDJ than the following? This works but requires 4 cards.

Rome in Play
Emperor + Naaman's Chariots
Play Imitating Evil to grab/play RDJ

That way seems pretty easy to me; I don't know just how easy you want if that isn't good enough.

DaClock · « **Reply #2 on:** March 20, 2009, 10:39:44 PM »

Yeah, it'd be much harder to do with demons.

Bubbleboy, the reason I ask is because I want to use it in my T2 deck. I can't have more than 1 RDJ so I have to include search and recursion cards. It's much harder to pull off than in T1 unless I use a bunch of copies of those cards, which I don't have room for in my defense.

You could band Lying Spirit or The Terrifying Beast to your Emperor (with Horses) then use Twice Afflicted. That's not really easier since it still involves 4 cards but at least they're in the same brigade.

DaClock · « **Reply #4 on:** March 20, 2009, 11:25:07 PM »

Good idea. That also allows me to use multiples of enhancements/characters to recur instead of Rome which is only good once.

how is rome only good once? it doesnt get discarded by RDJ and emperor whats his bucket (Gray either Otho or Valba) can get rome out of the D/C pile whenever he wants to. he truly builds rome in a day...everytime

DaClock · « **Reply #6 on:** March 21, 2009, 02:00:06 AM »

I can only have 1 Rome in play, if I draw another, it is virtually worthless. However, if I have used 1 Twice Afflicted and draw another, I can use it again.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #7 on:** March 21, 2009, 07:04:48 AM »

Other that Gabe's suggestion, all I can think of is demon banding and False Peace, but that's more than 4 cards, I'm sure.

If Rome is in play, you can also use Pride of Simon + Imitiating Evil... so thats 11 uses right there. How many do you need?

crustpope · « **Reply #9 on:** March 21, 2009, 06:15:10 PM »

ben, remind me never to play you in type II. that is a lot of destroying.

I'm not worried about a large number of uses, 3 is plenty since you can't have more than 3 of any individual fortress in T2. However, I am worried about how many cards I have to add in for the combo to work.

Having 3x of all the following makes for 15 cards. In a 40 card defense, that is a huge chunk.
False Peace
Lying Spirit
Warrior Class Emperor
Namaan's Chariots
Twice Afflicted

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #11 on:** March 21, 2009, 07:41:58 PM »

Out of the 15 though, lying spirit, the emperor, and Nammans chariot can be used for OTHER things too, its not like you MUST use those 9 for the combo.

How would you get 11 uses out of that?

DaClock · « **Reply #13 on:** March 23, 2009, 12:14:09 AM »

5 Imitating Evil
5 Pride of Simon
Romans Destroy Jerusalem

Lambo, yes, they could be. However, not with the CTB "defense" I already have. In a different deck it'd work better since I could have a whole defense.

DaClock · « **Reply #14 on:** March 31, 2009, 03:02:42 PM »

That works, but Demon Behind the Idol isn't a Roman which makes it a 2 turn combo.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #15 on:** March 31, 2009, 04:20:38 PM »

Hm...Habitation of Demons is NT....

DaClock · « **Reply #16 on:** March 31, 2009, 04:53:09 PM »

It just has to be Roman, not necessarily an emperor. I can't think of an easy way to band them though.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #17 on:** March 31, 2009, 05:00:19 PM »

Rome & Hab-O-Demons; what's wrong with that?

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #18 on:** March 31, 2009, 05:57:46 PM »

Rome, Any roman - Hab with demons - DBTI - Gathering of demons - Fallen angel (crimson) - Evil spawn.

This is the recur combo that never ends.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #19 on:** March 31, 2009, 06:18:40 PM »

Im missing the recur part of it... no DBTI listed....

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #20 on:** March 31, 2009, 06:21:19 PM »

and I thought'd be unlikely enough to be able to block against Garden Tomb to use RDJ in the first place...

crustpope · « **Reply #21 on:** March 31, 2009, 08:19:39 PM »

No dont play it on the block, play it on the attack! play green with sword of the lord, set up your perfect side battle and BLAM nuke em all!

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #22 on:** March 31, 2009, 09:11:08 PM »

Uhm, Wow... just...wow. I think you confused demons.

WAIT! I JUST THOUGHT OF ONE! use evil armor with the terrifying beast!

problem. evil armor doesn't let you pull back an enhancement from the discard pile.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #24 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:12:10 PM »

No, it lets you take one from the bottom, where RDJ will be at the time.
