Title: Pagan Nation (High Places) Dec Doc pls
Post by: Deck Metrics on March 10, 2010, 04:52:49 PM
Ok my brothers, I'm excited about the potential of this deck just because it's different from the norm, at least within my play group. I'd like some feedback on the offense, it just seems to be a little weak. Does any one know of some better "place" evil enhancements that remove heros from the game or sets them a side verse just negating their sp's.?

Can pagan priests resurrect high places if it's discarded? Anyone know what other ways can I resurrect high places in case it's discarded?

PP only gets an artifact, so I don't know why you would think that. Really, I don't think there are nay ways to get back evil fortresses. ...I'll bet there's something out there... The only way I can think of to get back a fortress at all is Moses and Elders...

Eliashib can get back a Wall or JT...but yeah, I'm pretty sure there's no way to get back an evil fortress.

Pagan Priests sp reads " discard 2 cards from hand to search discard pile for an artifact depicting an idol or evil altar..." my mistake was that I thought it read " or an evil altar" so my interpertation was off. Sometimes I read over the cards too quickly.

I would use a TSA, Attending Angel to get it out quickly, maybe a captain, or a bander or something. 4 Silver dudes, Protection of Jerusalem, and maybe a Flaming Sword, or Gathering.

Now here's a question, could I use Herod's Treachery to force X heros to withdraw from battle using High Places?

Herod's Treachery's SP reads:

Place on a Herod. That Herod may use evil Enhancements regardless of brigade. You may discard this card to force X Heros to withdraw from battle.

X = the number of good brigades opponent has in play.

Another question, I want to make I'm using High Places correctly.

Say on my discard phase, I want to play Infectious disease, pg enhancement. Must I have a pg villian in play inorder to play Infectious Disease or can I play it without a pg villian?
Title: Re: Pagan Nation (High Places) Dec Doc pls
Post by: Mr.Hiatus on March 15, 2010, 08:17:32 PM
You have to have a PG guy to play infectious disease on. Also  with Herod's Treachery, you can only use High Places during upkeep/discard phase, maybe more, but I know not in battle, so no to that question.

Herod's is a territory enhancement, can I just discard it during battle to return x heros?

Wait if i dont have a PG evil character out i cant play a PG enhancement if I have High places? ok so i have a duel evil character it can uses orange and PG it says evil character can use another color besides those to and i choose brown can i play a Brown enhancement when HP is out?

A dual color EC can use both his or her colors, a King Ahaz, or Users of Curious Arts can only use their true color, brown, and pale green, b/c their ability deactivates after battle.
