needs to be faster maybe, i like the negates but i dont know how they fit into the current metagame.

Zeresh Advises Haman seems like it is a good card for the meta with all the random colors running around on offences. Lets take another look:

Zeresh Advises Haman (RA)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Brown • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Set aside your Persian for three turns. On return, discard X Heroes and a random face-down Artifact from one opponent's territory. • Identifiers: OT, X = the number of selected opponent's good brigades in play. • Verse: Esther 5:14 • Availability: Rock of Ages booster packs (None)

This has always been one of my favorite cards but more for multiplayer i think. Maybe Broken Cisterns for the decrease theme:


This is the way Lackey gave it to me. All hail the power of Lackey!

It needs Peter and Mary Mag for mor to use with Garden Tomb and 4dc for a easy draw 4. I would add the new covenant cause it can return all captured NT Heroes or Heal all of them.

Because 4 Dolla Holla is amazing. Sure, it's a splash, but he's not going to be in battle unless somehow all your other TGT characters die.

I'm not sure 4DC is worth it b u have to get it and Peter in play to get the draw 4 the only way I see it as an option here is uzzah can use it as well.

I'm not a fan of playing cards that only work based on one or 2 characters. Precisely the reason I almost never play Sons of Thunder.

In almost all cases, I agree with you. But draw 4 is probably one of the most powerful abilities in the game. Peter should be in almost any TGT deck anyway (unless it is super focused on white ladies), for sure he should get in before Widow. Adding $4 is an obvious next step.
Press 1 for more options.
