The Dark One Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 But then you missed your chance to attack. That's the whole point of nuking the field. (aside from the gained card advantage, of course.) Also, Dark Bribe negates Pot, so you don't draw 2 for it, you just draw 1 for Bribe. What did you think would happen?

werewolfjedi Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 You're up against Gorz' date=' so if you still have Lightning Vortex, it would be wise to use it just to get rid of such a threat.[/quote'] Which means that Gorz is an instant +1 for you and forces the opponent to spend their removal at a time in which they are unable to take full advantage of its effects. This post confuses me, but I somewhat understand you. It's like this: Even in a worst-case scenario for the player using Gorz, the mere use of Gorz is still highly damaging to the opponent, who is forced to -1 themselves and use their removal when they don't want to use it in order to avoid losing. That's the worst-case scenario, mind you. Yes, it would be the worst-case scenario, but at least you got rid of Gorz. Also, how would not using it allow them to avoid losing? Oh' date=' and by the way, you can Dark Bribe a Pot of Greed.[/quote'] Aside from my apparently n00bish question, what does that have to do with this? You can Lightning Vortex a Gorz, and you can Dark Bribe a Pot of Greed. But in each case, you're still -1'ing yourself in your best case scenario. You discard one card if you Lightning Vortex Gorz, but your opponent draws three cards if you Dark Bribe Pot of Greed, but that would only be possible in Traditional. But why compare a last-resort combo with an illegal (In Advanced, anyway) combo? if this is a DaD end attack as the normal situation' date=' if the player attacks with DaD first, they lose their chance and basically just screwed themselves over, so the rule is going to become "DaD last" to finish them, or to kill gorz or the token, mattering on the size of the token.this is going to make the end game so much more fun.[/quote'] You know....that might work. However, people will most likely be aware of this fact, so I wouldn't be too sure. it becomes much more about the timing of her play, chooseing to ether wait for the right moment, or saving your life points.

werewolfjedi Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Ugh now we all have to know what order to attack just incase the opponent has a giant Godzilla version of Kuribo! this is no kuribo, this is Gorz, its on a totally different level. the funny thing is, if you can bring them down for the finishing blow before clearing their field, (as in 1 big hit, not swarm win.) they can't play Gorz, so she is actually useless late game, where you can't afford to take a hit. not that most decks get to the late game these days.

Oh and it just gets really deppressing when everyone is forced to stay at the hobbey legue level and pray no one runs DAD or Lightsworns because in two turns they maliciously beat the crap out of you with there win cards that range from 200=300 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure, let's keep Gorz around, since if the opponent is lucky they'll be able to spend two cards to stop him. And then let's legalize Delinquent Duo. After all, the opponent loses two cards from their hand, but Delinquent Duo gets dumped in the graveyard. Sounds fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
