Helvetica said:TL2, you have to know that, with the exception of my brother-in-law, I always try and find some good in everyone. At the very least, this Knight is sexy and would treat you to a good dinner and stimulating conversation. Come to think of it, my bro-in-law does have some good traits.
And Wallenstein? No-one ever forgot him. He created and destroyed in equal measure, from what I read.
Helvetica:
Point well taken. Actually, so do I (in the beginning) but, I do have my limits and with a Knight like this one or anyone who is predominantly out for themselves, coldhearted, etc., one must be careful. What's that story about the scorpion that wanted to cross a river or something and asked the frog to carry him on his back. The frog refused saying, "You'll sting me, if I do that." But, the scorpion assured him he would not. Well, the frog relented and allowed the scorpion to climb upon his back. As they crossed the river, and just before reaching the shore, the scorpion stung the frog. The frog, surprised, said, "I thought you said you wouldn't sting me." The scorpion replied, "You knew I was a scorpion when I told you that. I could not help it, it is in my nature." Well, I may have certain elements of the story wrong, but, you get the gist. One must be careful. Scorpions can and do sting. So does this Knight.
I did take a look at some of my other Knights (in other decks) and I don't get quite the same impression. I get a kind of "hero charging to save the day" from a few. But, I don't get that from this card. I guess it depends on the deck.
