Is the idea to basically block the whole game until they are decked out, and then beat the small amount of defense left in their hand with this underpowered offense? Or is there more power to this offense than I'm seeing?

With a question like that, there seems to be more to this deck than you're seeing... ;)

Defense seems strong enough with the Egyptians to hold them off for a bit, besides using Doms to get a couple LS's though, it's gonna be hard to get 5 with the offense before your opponent does.

Post by: Prof Underwood on December 14, 2010, 01:44:38 PM: I see that the deck is 54 cards. Can I assume that the 2 cards you aren't showing are the key that makes this deck work. Because it seems like your entire offense is limited to a bunch of GCs that band together (not FBN) and could all get wiped out with a single Wrath of Satan, or for that matter, Deluge of Rain. And your GEs are mainly just adding numbers. MS will stop immunity of Red Dragon, and Magnificat will give stop sites, but other than that I don't see much.

Post by: The Guardian on December 14, 2010, 01:50:21 PM: It's 54 because I couldn't find two more cards that would A) be useful and B) meet the qualification for being in the deck.

Post by: The Guardian on December 14, 2010, 02:05:16 PM: I like that idea, I think I'm actually going to go with 3 brigades on offense.

Post by: Prof Underwood on December 14, 2010, 02:24:45 PM: Nevermind about the power of the deck. I just got the concept, and actually based on the limitations, this is a really decent deck :)
