Here's "
Dasein's" version of comparing the new upstart combat card "
Shoulder Drop", to our esteemed elder statesmen of true combat mastery, "
Twisting the Knife".
Twisting the Knife
Cardtype: Combat
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Potence
[pot] Only usable as damage from a hand or melee weapon strike is resolved; only usable if this vampire inflicts 3 or more damage. He or she inflicts an additional point of damage. Only one Twisting the Knife may be played by a vampire during a strike phase.
[POT] As above, with an optional press.
Shoulder Drop
Cardtype: Combat
Cost: nothing
Grapple. Play when you successfully inflict damage from a hand strike. After strike resolution, if this minion is still ready, the opposing minion takes 1 additional damage. The opposing minion cannot press this round. A minion may play only one Shoulder Drop each strike.
- Discipline:
- "Twisting the Knife" requires "Potence".
- "Shoulder Drop" may be played by any stupid monkey.
- Everyone knows that "Potence" wins games, and stupid monkeys lose games, mainly to "Potence" decks.
- Winner: "Twisting the Knife"
- Cost:
- "Twisting the Knife" costs one blood.
- "Shoulder Drop" is free.
- Winner: "Shoulder Drop" (just)
- Requirements:
- "Twisting the Knife" requires 3 or more damage from a hand or melee weapon strike.
- "Shoulder Drop" requires any damage from a hand strike.
- Everyone knows that melee weapons are for winners, and winners are grinners. Only chumps make hand strikes.
- Winner: "Twisting the Knife"
- Damage:
- "Twisting the Knife" does one damage.
- "Shoulder Drop" does one extra damage.
- Winner: Tie
- Other effects:
- "Twisting the Knife" gives you a press, at superior. Everyone knows that winners play superior "Potence". Although they will have to fish out a "Potence" skill card to give "Appolonius" superior "Potence".
- "Shoulder Drop" means the opponent cannot press at all.
- Everyone knows that it’s fun when you and your opponent each play a bunch of presses. "Shoulder Drop" doesn’t let them play a press so you don’t get to cycle your presses. Although you don’t really need to, because "Appolonius" gets one in-build!
- Winner: "Twisting the Knife" by far
Overall winner:
need I state the obvious?
