I just tried this not knowing what I'll get out of it... And guess what... A 3/3 Dante instantly  I got 2 Dante's on the table one made the other safe, and played tactical upheaval on it... That means it'll work on a safe horse merchant, or exhausted cesare, or... Omg the possibilities... I can't even discount this as a bug, unless -x health abilities are meant to be different from damage. Damn sweet |

Nice! To me that seems legit, it would also tie in with agents like papal guard , it opens up a new dimension to the game.

I tried making deck to use that on papal guard (or the yellow 0/4 guys), but it was too inconsistent since you needed all the right cards at the right time. I have used in on Dante in a pinch. I even used it on an exhausted Arque to turn him into a 1/1 vs a site deck. |

Oh yea, it needs a 0 power agent, sorry  |

You can use it on Papal Guard to turn a 1/5 into a 5/5. It's just that you have to have all the right cards in your hand.

I have to admit that I didn't find it myself. Someone played the trick on me a while ago (beginning december). Maybe a Ubi staff member playing the game or whatever (at this point of the game, I felt I was the only one with assassin cards or built decks in the whole game  so facing someone with a constructed deck was a big moment of the day for me, and I assumed it was a Ubi staff member but I can be wrong). I used Sudden Exhaustion on a fattie, and I saw him using Dante + Tactical Upheaval to bring him back to max atk. Then, I understood how, and certainly lost to it. ^^ After that, I only got the chance to see this in action a few times in total. Quite rare as a trick. And a good one. Safe prevent from the next damage on the creature, that's simple. That's a +++ for Dante and Tactical Upheaval which are already awesome cards by themselves. |

Whats the best card to play this combo with? The best way to use this is probably against an opponent's Sudden Exhaustion when you have a dante on the table and tactical upheaval in hand. To purposely make a big boy is probably difficult cos of all those conditions. Let's look at all the viable 0 power agents: Dama Rasa Horse Merchant Americo Dante Giovanni Mocenigo Claudia Fiora Cavazza Then you gotta give them safe (dante or Manoeuvre) and THEN tactical upheaval... I wonder if a deck can be built around this, probably not Even if they get one power from a borgia tower or any other card they'd not have the health to backup that power. |

Its not worth building a deck around, since there are only 2 cards to grant SAFE and 1 card that has it inherently. Its not that grand of a combo to win you the game, but it is a funny trick if that's what you're after.
