Safe Paths and Master Broke His Promise

[ket_the_jet]

Has anyone ever used Safe Paths or Master Broke His Promise? I cannot see how either of these cards are ever worth using and I am going to throw them in the "Weight of a Legacy" pile.

For the record, I have always liked Pursuit Just Behind.

The only thing I know is that they both have very funny pics.

Master Broke His Promise can really hurt in a ninja Gollum deck... you just need a Gollum with wound prevention.

Safe paths is a great card if you need to kill some minions in a pinch to prevent grond or similar, then your opponent grabs 3 shadow cards and clogs their hand for your non move

[ket_the_jet]

Yeah, but how often are there going to be that many minions for it to be effective (and you have a fully-healed Smeagol)?

Pursuit Just Behind does the same thing and the Shadow Player has the option on if they want to bring cards into their hands. My vote--not worth being in a deck.

The opponent can only take the cards into hand if you committed to the move.  =P

Good spot Alazzar.

As stated, Master broke his promise is nice card in ninja gollum.  Ninja gollum should have one web anyway, so exerting gollum 3 times for MBHP, then stacking him, is very viable.

Unseen Foe is probably a better card

[Not a Zombie]

but not movie legal

the problem is to keep him alive and unwounded. But if you add threats, or discard cards you might be able to pull it off. That Gollum I mean. Or slippery as fishes, also nice. Sweeter Meats 4x, maybe corsairs to add twilight somehow, but it would be a pile of cards.

My friend had one Ninja Gollum Deck where Gollum gets big and kill people in by strenght also. In that scenario its pretty much reliable to have a 5 cost card with a potential devastating effect. I'm not a fan of that "luck dependent" combos, but you can do it.

The Smeagol card maybe can be used for a strategic double move in a choke deck (against any non cheap-swarm shadow). Doesn't matter if your opponent will take 3 shadow cards if he/she will not have pool to play it anyway (well, he/she could always get some cheap crushing event/condition from discard but not all shdows have that).

Anyway never tought in a deck that uses them... hmmm... maybe...

Not enough pool with 5 extra twilight?!
I don't see a good use for Safe Paths either.
