[Submission] Under Siege (melee weapon fetcher)

Ah, you forgot to add "pay cost as normal" as well?

No, I didn't forget it, it's just unnecessary because the minions equip the weapons and therefore, by default, must pay their cost and fulfill the requirements.

The cyclability is a problem. I would add the requirement to have minion without melee weapon ; this way, the card could not be cycled to easily. The first one would be very easy to play, the other less so.

Right. This would allow playing more than one copy in the deck without using it as a twister.

The main thing to check would be wether Garrote or Wooden Stake are too easy to use with this card. In this case, the once per game per methuselah would be better.

I doubt it would be stronger than just playing a Decapitate or Disarm (since both weapons require to deal more than 1 damage with it). Sure, one could play Target Vitals and trigger them, but it remains weak.

If you could put in play, and use it when you become "under siege", it would improve the usefullness of the card. If your haven is under siege, a phased motion detector or similar devices could also be available?

It's not the purpose of the card.
Its purpose is too increase the playability of melee weapons.

My big dream is to make Bang Nakh played, but this card doesn't address this issue since people would tend to fetch free equipments such as Poker or Stakes...
