Hay I just thought of a nice counter for people who try to do the tactic of active char power then recruit a new char KOing old use power again and repeat depending on how many of the copy they have on hand. This only really works with Sentenals though. If you use Search & Destroy card and target that char. Since most of them are under 3 cost the you use that Req shouldn't be a problem. But it also forces them to discard all the other cards of that char in their hand.

Sure they will probably get the effect off once cause you'll want for them to active the power the KO their own char by recruiting a new one to play Search & Destroy. So you know it's coming and don't waste the S&D.

The is also another tactic that will counter it which isn't Deck Specific. Political Pressure makes it so your opp can only recruit ONE char for that turn. :) So if they wanna waste their one recruit one a Cost 1 char and KO one of their already placed chars. Then I say go for it ;). Plus for a cost of 4End you can reuse it the next turn. Seening as most people won't try to use the stacking of their char powers till late in the game when they have the resources to do it. Just wait till like turn 4-5 to use Political Pressure so you don't kill your own Endurnce maintaining it.

P.S. I just thought of something really evil. ;) Wait to use Political Pressure till you know your opp is going to do the Double Destiny trick or whatever. Since you can play a PT card in response to the recruitment of a char as soon as they play the first recruitment of Destiny and KO their old one say, "Wow your just going rerecruit destiny for this turn." Then flip over political pressure leaving them with no out ;). Cause they already made their ONE recruit for this turn heh. It's all about timing. :devious:

That will not work as you describe because once S&D is on the chain, I can play and activate the rest of my destiny's before it resolves. The only way it would work is if you played in something other than the recruit step. But if you did that you would not be sure if I even had any duplicates in my hand.

Well again, if you did that I could just recruite the remaining Destiny's or other characters in response to you playing PP. The only way to prevent someone from using this technique would be to have played PP before your opponant is in his recruit step.

Just in case you overlooked it, Political Pressure may only be played during the draw phase which is well before the recruit step.
