Another Piper question
Jozxyqk
isn't an action"), but I would like confirmation:
Cybele is an anarch. I have a Path of Evil Revelations in play.
During my master phase, Cybele is untapped.
I play Piper, and tap her to bring out a Herald of Topheth.
Then I pay a pool to use the Path of Evil Revelations to untap
Cybele.
(By her special ability, I have a second MPA)
I play a second Piper, tapping her again to bring out a second
Herald of Topheth.
Legal?
(And then, during the minion phase, I can untap her with Rutor's
Hand and take an actual recruit-Herald action, of course)

Yes.
The simple version of the question is: I play Piper to have VampireA get an
ally. Then I untap vampireA somehow (Alexandra, Path of Evil Revelations,
whatever) and use a second master phase action to play another Piper. Can that
piper be used to have vampireA recruit another copy of that same ally?
The answer is yes.

And if vampireA untaps again, he or she can recruit another copy of that same
ally again with the normal recruit action, yes.

please please please tell me you are building a herald vote deck.

Or a working herald deck, that'd be awesome.

I have a working Herald deck!
I mean sure, take out the Heralds and you have a mid-cap obf/pre S&B
deck, but the whole idea is for the Heralds to be the bleeders, of the
bruise/bleed variety.

Hehe :)
The heralds are good in theory, they have an awesome range of
disciplines at their disposal and they got a big fist, a bleed. 5 life
+ regeneration is *great* to boot. The ability for them to jump
someone and disarm them at will is awesome.
But the friggin' upkeep on them is too much imo. Compare them to War
Ghouls or Shamblers additional cost and they are more "fair" than the
heralds, easier to side step. I've tried several variants of bloat to
cover for the heralds but all seemed risky, any serious threat blew me
off the table anyway :( The deck I had most success with was a variant
of Peter Bakija's My Deck is cooler than yours (http://thelasombra.com/
decks/twd.htm#2k4cooler) that I shoe horned some heralds into, with a
small combat package to support them (I belive it was 3 conflag and
2-3 disarms), but it always felt like I shot myself in the foot for
playing the demons.
Oh well, nagging me :P

i get the herald to Legal Manip. No blocks, the regen pays for the
legal. if they block, high ground to long and conflagrate. this package
also works for sargon. the high grounds help the setites stay alive if
they get rushed, too. or if you have no combat cards just use the built
in 3 str.
bloat is hesha hunt/blood doll (or whoever else you draw...and hunt.
sargon with perfectionist and 2 blood dolls is ok to hunt with. at least
you get the edge).
ideal ready region is hesha, sargon, some other setite and a bunch of
heralds. my current version of the deck is a bit master heavy though.
but still you can always just legal+cloak with your vamps as a 'plan B'.
which, i hear, isn't too shabby.

The original post was asking about Cybele. I hear Cybele does a very
good job bloating by master cards. Wouldn´t that be an option? Possibly
also using the Great Beast.

The original post was coming up with a wacky fun example for my Piper
question.
Sorry to disappoint, there's no actual intention to build a Cybele anarch
Herald of Topheth deck here...

Because it would be Norm's territory? :)
