I could not have won this game even if I could have stopped Scribe/Proud/Recur
You might have trouble with CTB Speed but besides that looks good. How do you rescue Lost souls. Job's Faith isn't even a definant battle winner.
Actually, heavy territory destruction with perhaps TGT might get by it. You don't seem to have all that much territory protection.
I'm surprised no one has said why Uzzah, you have no real artifacts for him...
Wow... I really don't see much beating this except for an offensive type deck discard (if they hit D&A), or a deck that is very similar to this.Actually, heavy territory destruction with perhaps TGT might get by it. You don't seem to have all that much territory protection.
As a fairly avid Herolite player, you need to be wary of the trick that every good player will know to use once they see Herolite coming: Magic Charms played during their battle, followed up by SoG/NJ on your Job.
I also put Laver in every huge defense deck. This type of defense is supper strong, but there are always going to be certain cards that will be better suited for certain offenses, and certain cards that aren't.
Also, User of Curious Arts (Prophets...or TexP even, since both can use Gold) might not be a bad idea, so that you can use your own Magic Charms. That two card combo can be incredibly effective, and the fact that he's NT makes him harder to get rid of.
though I'd still rather have Haman.

I see three artifacts; UW if they're running Angels, Hezzy's Ring if they're not searching, or PC if they're not running sites. That's the only reason I guessed that he beat out Haman, though I'd still rather have Haman.
... but anyway, I will band to their Magic Charms every time and use it immediately.
I would have to take out an EC for this (User), and he is dead against BTN, unless I use the gold one.
Good luck with that.
QuoteMagic Charms played during their battle, followed up by SoG/NJ on your Job.Two things. I thought Job would go to D&A right after
and numero dos; I wait until the very end, 99% of the time they have used, or would have used their SoG/NJ. Another thing is I hardly see WoP in a T1, which needs to be added into this one probably... but anyway, I will band to their Magic Charms every time and use it immediately. Users of Curious Arts would be good with Magic Charms, but not worth it IMO. That's another artifact spot, which something would have to come out for, and I would have to take out an EC for this, and he is dead against BTN, unless I use the gold one. But I feel like my EC's are more useful than a gold no SA EC. I would also want to add another 1-2 more magicians just to ensure I can even use my Magic Charms. If he dies then I have a dead card in my deck, which I hate.
I think the best suggestion is a Media site out for a purple site. I will probably do that. Thank you.
Bronze Laver can help, but like you always do, what can come out for it? I feel like almost every card in this deck is precise, and makes it to where I can not tweak much, and Laver is not really needed. Yes it will help, and I might consider adding it, but is it better than others that it would replace?16 EC's is so AoC does not hurt me, and so I can hold EE's in my hand. The ratios are very good in this deck.
I would go with CP instead. It territory protects half of your characters (as opposed to none with a rescued/negated Color Guard) and it also protects your Golgotha and Dungeon from being stolen.
Quote I would go with CP instead.

I'm still not sold on Users/MC. The main reason is because I would onnly have one EC to place it on. I can see me having MC in there for Uzzah fodder, which I think is a dull reason to add. If I could fit 1-2 more magicians in I would go that route, but I'm not seeing 2-3 magicians fit, and a MC. I could see Laver working in the regard to getting rid of extra EC's for matching enhs, but what can come out?
I am curious how you plan to deal with Abom? I am aware of the popularity of disciples, but as you know...not everyone will play disciples.
Quote from: soul seeker on April 20, 2011, 03:36:50 PMI am curious how you plan to deal with Abom? I am aware of the popularity of disciples, but as you know...not everyone will play disciples.He does include the absolute best Abom counter in the game: Abe's Descendant. All he needs to do is pick it up and keep it in his hand. Since he'll be playing a deck whose primary offensive and defensive strategies depend on that card, I'm sure he'll make room for it.
Otherwise, I'd consider taking out Claudius. Immunity just isn't what it used to be,
A-Bomb site lock would shut this down fairly easily, but I'm not sure how common that'll be with Fishing Boat out.
Another potential problem is if they know this is coming, in which case they will block with a random high numbered character, and save four evil cards in their hand. They'll discard three, play Falling Away, and then block with KoT for the rest of the game.
QuoteA-Bomb site lock would shut this down fairly easily, but I'm not sure how common that'll be with Fishing Boat out. And how do you think Abomb will shut this deck down fairly easily? If anything Abomb has a smaller offense, and my defense will crush it as well. All they can do it place Abomb in my territory and I can outlast them until I get my Job/Descendant out. And Prof nailed it on the head already, I will take their Abomb and leave it in my hand. Also I have never ever ever ever, seen Taking Egypt's Wealth in a competitive T1 deck, not including sealed. So I am not worried about that, also the amount of negates on my defense, and wealth being a 4/2 I am not worried.

I guess you'll just have to play Grapes offensively, and hope that they don't have five evil characters over 6 defense.
Although like I said earlier, it could use another good battle winner.
Wickedness of the Tenants in for Stiff-Necked?

What I'm really interested in: I'm curious to why you revealed this deck just before the big tournaments? That seems like you are inviting counters or copiers.
