Cactus Game Design Message Boards

We didn't get any new Judges in Lineage of Christ aside from Joshua who doesn't really play well with other Judges, so I decided to get a little more creative and add a few of the new Postexilic tools to the offense. This was the first real deck I made after LoC came out and the deck is pretty much the same. The only changes I made to adjust to the revamped Throne meta was taking Go Away! out of the main deck for Overwhelmed by Philistines and taking Foreign Spears out of Reserve for Carcasses. I think the Wicked LS probably also belongs in here, probably for either Humble or Covet. I haven't actually tested it against Throne yet, but I think it probably only wins 20-30% of the time against it just because it's not very fast and relies on getting the defensive answers at the right time. So it's definitely not top tier, but I've always liked Judges and figured it was about time I played a Judges deck on Redemption with Jayden, which you can check out here to get more of an overview of the deck and to see it in action.

Cool! And also interesting build! 

I am tinkering with another build using Philis and another mixed offense pursuing another goal. Not very fast too and not really tested against Throne or Flood.
But I had some (so far) promising test games yet! Would be interested in all your opinions - will hopefully be able to post a final deck list one day (but this might only be happen in a few months though).

Sweet! Yeah, I'm curious to see what other Philistine builds people have made with the new stuff. We'll have to get a game in soon to check it out.
