Echoes of Arrogance, Prelude to Victory
Goliath's Taunts is an Uncommon Event from the Israel Age, costing 2 faith and drastically altering the battlefield by setting all Beings’ hope to 1. This powerful effect creates a field-wide vulnerability, where any damage becomes lethal. Whether used as a finisher, a setup for a major clear, or a response to overwhelming board pressure, this card can completely shift the game’s tempo.
This card's verse is 1 Samuel 17:10:
"And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together."
Strategic Use In Gameplay
Goliath's Taunts is a high-leverage control tool designed for mid to late-game board dominance. Its ability to lower every Being’s hope to 1 opens the door for efficient trades, mass removals, or tempo reversals. This Event works best in decks built to take advantage of low-hope targets, including those that use wide boards or cheap pings for maximum value.
Synergies and Plays:
Board Wipe Potential: If you have just as many Beings as your opponent, or if you follow up with damage-dealing Events, this card can lead to a full board clear with minimal investment.
Efficient Trades: Use it when your smaller Beings are already ready to challenge; reducing hope to 1 guarantees favorable trades, even against higher-stat units.
Control Enabler: An ideal addition to control decks that want to neutralize threats in one sweep and reset the board before deploying larger threats.
