    Enlighten me then, I guess.

    I'm picturing several situations where it'd be okay to do this.

    You have 5 resources, your only quest is a falling to corruption. all exhausted from last turn, and a glous in play. You have 1 card in hand and it's an anguish.

    You say go, ready your corruption, wait for them to finish their turn, using anguish if necessary and at the end of the turn you do corruption.

    Not bad really


    You have two no'jins and a glous in play, 4 used resources and 2 cards in hand, a shadowfiend and a broan. You have falling to corruption out, and you're on the play. You wait until they pass their turn and you do falling to corruption. The following turn you place a resource and come in for 17 and the win.

    Seems pretty good to me.

    And of course there are examples when you wouldn't want to do it either.

    Destroying ready resources for falling just becaues it got inspired? No, that's stupid.
    Doing it on turn 2 just because it got inspired on their turn? That's dumb too.
    Doing it when you have a full grip of cards that you need the resources in order to play?

    Are there occasions when it's bad to do it on their turn?
    Sure
    Are there occasions when it's great to do it on their turn?
    Sure

    The comment was in regards to having falling to corruption instead of maw of madness. Inspiring maw of madness doesn't make full use of glous - that was my point.

    Don't tell me it's 100% wrong to do falling to corruption on their turn, or you end up looking foolish.
    There certainly are very rare cases where you want to do Falling to Corruption on your opponent's turn. Sadly, none of your examples are such cases.


    My entire collection for sale.

    lol I can't believe i missed Kysuke's epic thread about Falling. Not only amusing, but educational.
    1st situation - might as well wait until your turn to do Falling. Doing it on their turn gives you 1 less resource to use on your turn, and you don't know what you're going to draw yet.
    2nd situation - whether you do Falling on their turn or yours doesn't appear to make a difference whether you win or not.

    Props to darknesspwns for the sig

    Bah, you didn't let me finish editing I look like a jerk on that one =(
    Do not drink and post!

    I actually laid out the cards and did it, and I totally see where you're coming from.  The reason you don't do it on the opponents turn is because you can complete it with the resource you drop that following turn, you'll always be up one resources when compared to doing it at the end of their turn.  Unless you're digging for an answer that you -have- to play that turn.

    Lesson learned, thanks for pointing it out guys. :D
