one thing i dont understand... why isn't DoW eligible for tournament play yet? Like the upcoming realm qualifiers, cant use DoW cards at all.

FINALLY, some good cards for Paladin. About bloody time. Though I suppose it's at the cost of making Warrior even more ridiculously powerful than it is now. Haih

@ahtiven

P/S - Cracking packs for the sake of cracking packs is one of those sins that I enjoy doing every now and then. I don't know how to explain it. It's expensive, I usually have more than enough commons and uncommons as it is, but there's just something magical about it.

Hey yitjuan, will u still be at Australia next year. I will be attending the Darkmoon Faire in Australia next year. Its a MUST for me, hope some ppl here will tag along. Colin ??

However, something many players seem to forget is how the triggered power actually works. To explain Form of the Serpent, I’m first going to note something about cat form. If your hero attacks while in cat form, he will have +1 attack while attacking. Now, if the opponent destroys cat form in the middle of the combat, the hero will lose this power. This because cat form has a continuous modifier of “+1 attack while attacking”, it never triggers, it’s always active.
Form of the Serpent, on the other hand, has a triggered power “when your hero attacks”. When it triggers, it first adds a counter and then counts the number of counters. The hero will have +1 attack for each counter, during that combat. It then does not recounts the counters for that combat. Which means that any change in counters does not affect that +X attack. Consequentially, if you would remove all those counters to deal damage to an ally, in the middle of the combat, your hero will STILL have that very same +X attack for that combat, even though no counters are left on Form of the Serpent.
That could be used to kill a protector during the attack window, before it can protect, while still keeping all that attack. This is a trick used by the top Serpent players, did you know it?

U can drop FoTS on turn 3 and start smacking on tt same turn itself, u dun have to wait till turn 4.

GG.

Super fast shipping, from HK so its quite cheap shipping wise.

Price wise, comparable with Starcity, and maybe a bit cheaper once you factor in shipping.

Untargetable
Myriam deals 5 arcane damage to target hero.

Traitor Hero Required
Your hero deals 1 nature damage to target ally for each damage on your hero.

Target Opponent chooses a hero or ally in his party, and your hero deals 4 nature damage to it.

Yeah, i ordered a crap load of cards from them on Friday. This morning, they were all on my desk already, nicely packed and all NM/M.

Added on November 10, 2008, 2:37 pmEh, btw, how to get rid of Myriam Starcaller?
Is she targetable when exhausted?

Or need to burn her with AOE affects?

e.g.

Death Shock
or can use Ally kill card?

Storm Shock
Not sure about Storm Shock because the the ability requires targetting?

So even when she is exhausted, Myriam still cant be targeted?

OP man. wtf.

Obliveron and Form of the Serpent.

How to make them work together?

The way i understand it, a freshly dropped FotS has no ATK, but it builds up ATK every turn the hero attacks.

Can this scenario work:

turn 3, play FotS.
turn 4, ATK opponent hero with FotS Obliveron, no dmg, +1ATK
(obviously, find a way to exhaust all protectors before attacking)
turn 5, ATK opponent hero with FotS Obliveron, 1 dmg, +2ATK
turn 6, ATK opponent hero with FotS Obliveron, 2 dmg, +3ATK
etc etc

I was thinking an Obliveron deck with many means to get rid or exhaust opposing allies would be quite powerful.

Drop a Doom Blossom  on the opposing hero turn 1 to start the beatdown, etc.

What do you think?

Official tournament ruling.

That means, a FotS hero can start the beat down immediately from T4 onwards.

Drop FotS during your opponent's EOT turn 3, turn 4 start whacking for +1 ATK already.

This also means, imagine turn 8.

FotS hero swings opposing hero for 5. Remove poison counters, hit for another 5. = 10dmg.

gg if some of the other cheapo allies get involved and/or if something like Doom Blossom is already ticking from Turn 1.

So even when she is exhausted, Myriam still cant be targeted?

OP man. wtf.

you can attack into her. Attacking does not target. Most players use Brok Bloodcaller to hit into her.
