I've been looking at everyones attempt to max out emeror joke, and was curious of one thing.

Emeror Joker sais when a person has no cards left in the deck they loose the game.... is that immediately or at the end of turn.

If so combining Green Goblin(7) and Joker (8), could be sick. on turn 8 you take 18 damage, you opponent discards 17 cards. You go to -15 life, your opponent is at +10 life but decked. But because he is decked he looses, before you check to see if you are eliminated.

This can lead to some intresting suicide manuovers.

Without having read the card text, I'm assuiming it's one of those powers that is always checking the game state, and will immediately occur.

If it doesn't say "end of turn" then it shouldn't be an end of the turn condition.

For the Joker, it is a triggered power, there are no state based effects in VS. When your opponant has no cards left in their deck, the power will trigger, once it resolves, they will lose the game. If you are the only remaining player, you will then win the game.

Wow.

I just looked at this guy and he is insane (Chad is correct, it's a triggered power, but will trigger immediately when there are no cards in the opponents deck, so just take what I said earlier and put it on the chain).

Off the top of my head I can't think of any card that can negate this effect, so once it is on the chain, it will resolve.

But if u think about it -13 endurance would probably end the game anyways on turn 8. The only strategy i see for this card is Overpowered, Madame Web, etc.

I thought in VS. that you dont lose when you deck yourself?

Just read the card, my bad.:laugh:
