Sacrificial Lamb: "Lamb Slam"

[Hunter]

"Lamb Slam" has a whole different meaning down here in Texas

Santa bomb is using multiple Santa's... in this case you are just using 1 card as it was designed...

Santa Bomb, sir, is not using multiple Santas, although using multiple Santas often results in a Santa Bomb. A Santa Bomb is any time you play Bad Santa and your opponent gets no benefit from its effects, either because their hand is already full and/or it will make them miss their next draw.

Trust me on this one, good sir.

Are you saying this term should only apply to hunters?

What if you need to use this card and IGG is out? Would you call it "lamb...doh!"

Though I admit I cant think of a better term...

To "Lamb Slam" is not necessarily do it when you have WotF in play. It means using Sacrifical Lamb on an ally that was already a loss, anyway. In other words, huge card advantage. Look at it this way:

You play Infernal Gargoyle (-1 card)
Your opponent plays Captured Prey (or any incapacitating ability) (-1 card)
1:1 card ratio. You used 1 card and he used 1 card and the sum is nil. An ally that is effectively dead.
You're at equal card advantage. Both of you have 1 card invested in the equation.

Now, from that zero-sum equation, you play Sacrificial Lamb. (-1 card)
Draw 3 cards (+3 cards)
The added cost of the sacrificed ally is nil, because that ally was already dead, and your opponent was at a 1:1 cards spent to do so.

In this situation, which is *very* common, you just spent (2) and 1 card to draw 3 cards.

No, that's "UB2: Remove all copies of target card in player's hand from the game and then remove all copies of that card in their library from the game."

Sacrifical Lamb is different.

You just reminded me of the Lambda Driver.... I been using this tactic though in my Banebow deck since 1.5 was released .

biggest problem with sac lamb is that its a shadow card i believe. the card would work better as a human card since there are better low cc human cards, and because shadow has better built in draw cards such as the new wolf tracker or w.e its called.

...I guess Infernal Gargoyle, Bad Wolf, Medusil, Death Mage, Thaddeus, and Keldor aren't really good allies for the Shadow side of the house.

However, I'm sure there's a reason Sacrificial Lamb isn't allowed for Human, and it might be because of Earthen Protector more than Jasmine or Aldon

^That would be nasty. 5 cards with WotF. And a buffed Jas. :P

Like ahmet, I didn't really like it at first, but it really grew on me.
