It looks pretty solid.  I only question whether or not Magic Charms is worth the three slots it takes up.  I think you'd be better off to cut the 2 Magicians and the Charms, add 2 Site access cards and keep it at 50.

the charms, simon, and damsel are a great means of defence just in case my phillies fail to do the job. i was debating on switching the defence over to the chump blockers (amakelites slave, KOT, gomer, and sabbath breaker, hamans plot...) but the Phillies offer me a chance to continusly block, unless they're converted.

another thing i was considering was taking out the non-white TGT people and replacing them with more purple. basically, turning the deck into a purple and white offence, but that would also make it rely less on the TGT strategy and more on the AOC recur. the down side to this, im going to have to indefinatly take out the 3 Charms cards and replace them with site access since im only going to be running 2 brigades.

yes, 50 is the better number in terms of deck size, but with all the ways to draw AND recur those drawing cards, im pretty sure 1 card over isnt going to make all the diffrence.

I can see your point to wanting more purple.  ET seems like he should be in any deck that's based on AoCp.

Cards  like to use in TGT are Peter and Passover and Unleavened Bread because then you can get rid of an evil character and use peter for TGT

   like the combo with peter. i like using the shuffle cards from the new prophet cards then pull out joanna. btw i saw Spirit as a Dove in the deck list. i don't find that in my card lists. anyone mind telling me what it does?
Can't think of something clever to say...sorry if you were expecting inspirational and/or witty...

discard all demons in play, Cannot be interrupted, prevented or negated. the fact you cant find that card on your list leads me to believe you might not have the updated version of ROOT. you might want to look into that.

yeah that combo is good if if there were a heavier presence of red in the deck. the odds of getting those 2 cards in hand at the same time are very slim (same as SOG NJ). im sure the Passover and Unlevened Bread does work, but only of your using a variant of Gabes TGT deck (TGT/Teal) since most of the time your playing Passover on Teal hero.

I can see your point to wanting more purple.  ET seems like he should be in any deck that's based on AoCp.

im not seeing why ET would go in the deck besides the fact he is purple. ET and AOC dont really combo too good beacuse once AOC goes off they can still drop an EC from hand or use PO. the only way i can see the ET working with AOC is playing Reach, and pass on playing the next enhancment. but that leaves you wide open to any and all battle enders, without giving me the opportunity to play AOC.

ET+AoC. If they can't block from hand, win. If they do block from hand, Grapes of Wrath and then attack with a TGT Hero. Win.

Spirit as a Dove is different from A Child is Born.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

et/aoc is also especially useful against orange/gates of hell decks.

yes, that is a good idea but i see it as being purely improbable, not only does it rely on me having ET+AOC+Grapes in hand, but it still allows the opponet to play from hand and use PO to crush my ET causing the end result to be a failed resuce attempt.
