Title: Another RTS Deck!
Post by: NotOfThisWorld66 on March 11, 2009, 07:14:01 PM

Hey, everyone!  I've got another RTS deck that need feedback.  I think this one is much better than my previous deck.  I will explain the strategy afterward.  Enjoy!

New RTS Deck
Cards: 56


White Brigade Heroes: 7

Ethan
Titus
War Officer
Daniel
Abednego (Azariah)
Meshach (Mishael)
Shadrach

White Brigade Enhancements: 7

Battle Neutralized
Blessings
Blood of the Lamb
Blood of the Lamb (different artwork and special affect than the above)
Bronze Cymbals
Burning Bush
Cymbals of the Levites

Purple Brigade Heroes: 2

Elisha
James (half-brother of Jesus)

Purple Brigade Enhancements: 4

Listening to God
Pearl of Great Price
Prayer of Faith
Reach of Desperation

Pale Green Brigade Evil Characters: 6

Roman Jailer
Witch of Endor
Achan
Amasa
Absalom's Soldiers
Absalom

Pale Green Brigade Evil Enhancements: 6

Angel Departed
Boasing of Wisdom
Confusion
Disobedience
Disuading Speech
Doeg's Slaughter

Multicolored Heroes: 1

Faithful Servant

Multicolored Good Enhancements: 1

Sword of the Spirit

Fortresses: 2

Goshen
Jerusalem Tower

Lost Souls: 7

Lost Soul (deck discard)
Lost Soul (N.T. only)
Lost Soul (revealer)
Lost Soul (site-remove)
Lost Soul (withdraw)
Lost Souls (3-line)
Lost Soul (protector)

Lamb Dominants: 4

Angel of the Lord
New Jerusalem

Reaper Dominants: 2

Christian Martyr
Burial

Artifacts: 3

Priestly Breastplate
Priestly Crown
Temple Veil

Sites: 4

New Jerusalem (site)
Pergamum
Pit of Dothan
Prison of Asa

My strategy in creating this deck was formulating a combination of enhancements that were able to negate the abilities of other enhancements.  In fact, all of my enhancements have negating abilities.  Also, I attempted to make the special affects work together.  So let me know what you think.  Thanks!

Seems pretty good as I know you are new to redemption! :thumbup: Great job keeping it small!

I'd take out pearl of great price. Black isn't very popular, and aocp is much better (authority of christ promo).

For white, I'd take out:
Daniel
Titus
Ethan
Battle Neutralized

In:
Chenaniah
King David
royal parade(works well with your interrupting theme)
Joseph in Prison

Other suggestions:

Out:
Pearl of great price
Listening to God
Sword of the Spirit
Goshen
Priestly Breastplate
Pit of Dothan
Prison of Asia
Lost Soul Site remove

In:
Aocp
Assyrian Camp
Assyria
4 other defensive cards
Lost soul(color guard)(this will protect against your own aocp and protect your evil characters, as well as against their aocp)

For defense:
All of the evil characters, plus two more from the above to add in. I'd put in something like this:

Assyrian Spoilers
Rabsiris
King Tiglath Pelieser III
King jehoiakim
Assyrian Archers
King (the one that searches for assyrian camp :))
Esau, The Hunter
The Rabshakeh

Death of Unrighteousness
Confusion
Stocks
Slave Trade
Misuse of Talents
Achin's sin
Rabsiris Attacks
Disuading Speech

Try those out and see how they work!  :)

Though as you can tell he is using common cards so some of the more expensive cards you recomended he will not have for a while  :-\

He's building it out of RTS card so he's got an unlimited pool.

Thanks for the compliment.  I will definitely try it out.  Thanks again!!

Also, if you want to try pretty much ALL interrupting, throw in five smooth stones instead of great faith. It's another purple negate.

First I wouldn't use two Blood of the Lambs...

Blood of the Lamb
Blood of the Lamb (different artwork and special affect than the above)

Also, I would consider adding Hophni, son of Eli and Phinehas, son of Eli to your defensive strategy because they can give you a nice suicide block, or split up and be used for initiative.

All I can say is to make a deck you need to use it and then watch the deck fall apart and fail. You seem you to know what your goal is and you just need to test it, because here on the boards we can only help your deck but not you as a deck builder :) Hope that helped more then confused you and me  :P

Better... but you still TOTALLY need Cheneniah. And take out the black evil for more pale green evil. Other than that... looks like a very good deck. :thumbup:

I agree with, fireninja.  Cheneniah is amazing.  Also, with such a small amount of black it will probably hurt more than it will help.

Sorry, everyone.  I forgot to post that I do have Chenaniah in this deck.  Anyway, I will post my even newer deck once I finish school today.  Thanks for the positive feedback!

IMHO, since you don't have to worry about paying for it, you should probably find a spot for DoN - most decks depend on at least SOME artifacts, and DoN will help get rid of one of them.  You might also want Captured Ark/other art. killers.

I would take out the Purple for Silver Michael bands into the daniel band + you have the angel that searches for O.T. (pr) I forget the name...

Title: Re: Another RTS Deck!
Post by: Isildur on March 30, 2009, 09:01:21 PM

you can only have one blood of the lamb

Title: Re: Another RTS Deck!
Post by: xCaLeBx on March 30, 2009, 09:03:25 PM

the angel is Angel at Shurand Striking herod + Fire Smoke and sulfur would work nice

Title: Re: Another RTS Deck!
Post by: NotOfThisWorld66 on March 31, 2009, 05:43:24 PM

There are two different Blood of the Lambs with different art and special affects, so the deck is legal.

Title: Re: Another RTS Deck!
Post by: YourMathTeacher on March 31, 2009, 05:47:39 PM

Same Title + Same Brigade = Same Card

You can only have one of the Blood of the Lamb cards.

What about Sadducees?

Title: Re: Another RTS Deck!
Post by: Arch Angel on April 04, 2009, 08:21:31 PM

You can have more than one saducee because
Same Name + Same Brigade + Different Art + Generic character = Different Card
