Why is everyone building Garden Tomb decks?

for decks with big defense yes.  Standalone or suicide?  VERY hard

I don't know that I would go as far to say that it's easy to beat. Garden Tomb decks, like many other popular decks, capitalize on opponents bad draws. I think a larger more defense-heavy deck is more susceptible to bad draws than small quick decks like TGT.

Yeah, GT decks are designed to hammer the current popular Standalone defenses.

However, I tend to build huge single brigade defenses... so I typically have no problem.  :D

I have seen exactly one and pwned it.  If you have a single defense, you take away their biggest gun.  THere are some nice white enhancements (no need for spices ..etc.) but taking away the ignore ability really hurts TGT

If it had a way to get rid of protection fortresses, it would be a lot better. However, as it is...a solid Assyrian defense with Assyrian Camp would utterly thrash TGT. (I know this partially from experience...Caleb. ;))

It sounds like a pretty solid strategy if you use it correctly. How do you get a garden tomb card? Which expansion does it come in? ???

They all have that. Look at the top or bottom of the tin.

I mostly like GT because I see fewer of those unoriginal "standalone" defenses that have been around for way too long (I'd say since Wa/Apostles ).  Now some people are actually playing w/ defenses.  If you have a decent single-color defense GT is not a problem.  I hope similar things continue to be done about offense w/ three or more colors.

This was definitely the intent of The Garden Tomb but I don't think the play testers wanted it to be as powerful as it is currently. Even single color defenses have a hard time keeping enough characters out against a good GT deck.
