It's a little difficult to see how the deck is formatted when you type it up like that... but it seems you have a lot of crimson enhancements and not enough characters.
And nice job by the way. :)
-
my nebushasban is nearly unstoppable when he has swift horses on him :) btw ty
-
wheres nergal? nergal is way better than nebush.
-
who's nergal? is he babolonian /w low #'s?
-
nergalsharezer. hes a 7/7 wc crimson ec, and ot enhancements used by him cannot be negated if another babylonian is in play. its a staple for crimson decks.

First off, I only see 55 cards, which is a strange deck size. You should definitely have more EC's. 5 is too low as it is, and one of them is supposed to only make one block. Also, Pergamum is unnecessary in my opinion. Unless it is part of a bigger sitelock strategy, it is not very helpful. Protecting your EC's against AoC is nice, but anyone who wants to get to them can just exchange/discard/negate the color guard anyway. Headquarters at Riblah would be a better choice.
Also, you will want more site access for yourself. Levi can work, but depending on a lone hero's SA for site access is not a good idea. If an sitelock opponent gets rid of him, it's over. I'd say throw in a Promised Land, since Dragon Raid can't enter battle against most site decks, and with Jacob/Well Reopened, Promised Land should be fine. Also, find room for Journey to Egypt. Against site decks it provides CBN access. Against Egyptian decks, it's complete ownage. And against any deck, it can be used for Stone Pillar to get AotL or NJ
Abe's Servant and Asher are two cards that should be in every Genesis offense IMO. Abe's Servant will win you way more rescues with Jacob/Angel, Simeon/Levi, or just Reuben, then Trapped in Cleverness. And Asher is awesome.
The defense needs more Babylonians, and fewer enhancements. Take out Dream (you have Swift Horses) and either Axe or Large Tree (you don't need to be THAT worried about TGT IMO). Put in Nergalsharezer, and Aspenaz (a good init guy for Belshazzar's Banquet, and a way to get more defenders). Also, Head of Gold > Carried into Exile.
All that said, nice job at the tourney. Feel free to ignore any of these suggestions, but you asked for them, so there they are.

I find that Reuben's Torn Clothes wins me a lot of battles, and if you take the above advice and add Asher to your deck you can even recur it. (Don't ask my son about recurring RTC with Asher. I don't think I ever had a single card win three rescues for me before that game. He wished he hadn't used CM on the apparently more threatening Simeon earlier in the game while playing single-color defense.)
-
The offense is pretty good and very solid but 5 evil characters is shocking! I dont even know how your defense worked....
-
first of all, thank you for your tips all and now i shall answer all of your questions:
how did i get by with that evil defense? they would angel of the lord zimri, and i would be free with nebashasban. it dosnt sound to good but i have swift horses on him which lets me play an enhancement, i play dream to draw 3 more cards and play carried into exile to capture 2 heroes, one in territory and the rescuer. then i would wait for them to try to kill me then i would play dream (if i hadn't played it yet) drew my 3 cards and play belshazzers banquet and win the battle ;D
-
Wait... so that's it? Like if they have holy grail you lose?
-
yup but nobody used it against me lol!
-
Holy grail, ark of the covenant and AotL Kills this deck.
-
what size of tournament did this take 4th in? you only listed 4 games?
