I played this deck at the MN district tournament last weekend. It took third, but had it not been for two misplays on my part it probably would have taken first. If I play with this in the future, I would like to work in Foreign Wives, but still keep it at 50 cards. Other suggestions are welcome. It's the first tournament I have placed in since taking second place once in the pre-Priest days, so I would like to thank Mr. Voigt for his generosity in helping me get back into the game this last year or so.

Thanks for the suggestions, I had not thought of using Forest Fire. I will keep them in mind if/when I use this deck again.

You have a lot of Evil Characters, and few enhancements. I would try and balance them a little more.

I found the balance worked well. I have 8 ECs, and 6 EE, counting the recurable Razor and Siegeworks. I might add one more crimson battle winner though for Neb. I don't need many blocks because the offense is fast.

With the Hopper being your only LS generator card, how often were you unable to attack due to lack of LS?
-
I find the lack of battle winners disturbing. You have 3 on offense and 3 on defense, 2 of which are both good and evil.

Not very often. Isaiah's Call and Pan meant I could get every soul they had down. I had no problems with the female or NT only.

Again, I didn't find this as a problem. It took third instead of first because of my inexperienced player mistakes. The offense rarely needed any battle winners, and when I used Razor or Siegeworks on defense, I could get them right back with Isaiah.

First off, Congrats on 3rd. Second, I like this deck. Third, I would consider the changes jbeers suggested. It would make the deck even more powerful. Nicely done!

mayhem also soul gens.
I feel like a darius decree would be good in here. I would also want to add a Grapes in here if I could, but i dont know what dom to switch it with. no goys means you might be behind which makes grapes better maybe...

Congrats on third!
How did your deck do against Nazareth?

How did your deck do against Nazareth?
It was a few months ago, so I don't remember exactly. I think I had a big problem with Darius' Decree one game. Most of the searching is done in the first turn or two. I also had ASA to take out Naz if it was a problem. I think I did that once.

Iron Pan lets u search with naz out still as well and if u put forest fire in then it also allows you to blow up naz
