Title: Best small offense?
Post by: Crashfach2002 on November 13, 2009, 04:11:50 PM
What is the best offense you think you can build in about 15-18 cards?

For small, I use combo offenses. I'm reluctant to post them though because I don't want them copied too much.  :P

Another good small offense is one that can recur itself easily. Green is one of the best for this, with blue coming in second.

Yeah I have a Green prophet offense, but with it being small towards the end of a game, all the shuffle battle winners only help for one turn, while I need a few more discard ones.  I played a game last night where if I could have discarded just one of their evil characters I would have won the game, but instead I could only shuffle leaving me with only one additional lost soul (and still losing)!

Ouch - Thats unfortunate - Go with Blue Gen for a small effective offense - It has battle winners all across the spectrum - and Asher to recur them.

FBTN + Elijah's Mantle is about the smallest offense I ever succeeded with.  Can do with about 10 cards.

Jacob, Captain of the Host, Strong Angel, Moses, Benaiah, Shamhuth, Ira, I am Creator, Elijah's Mantle, Covenant with Moses, Chast of the Lord Promo.

Dominants can often do the rest.  Be sure to have DON and Captured Ark in there too for HOH, COM, Golden Calf, Asherah Pole, etc.

Well im actually kinda a beginner but i strongly suggest the Assyrian defense. I used pale green Assyrian defense in one of my first deck and if you've got the right cards its an unstoppable defense.Some cards that would are Assyrian tribute, captured by Assyria, and Plunderers.

Judges. Kill the fort and snipe to your heart's content with Judge's seat. You need a large defense though.

15-18 cards? Wow you can really do anything... Uh Teal is best the "Small" color to use for the average player. Imo it all really depends on what you want to do when you pick a small offense.

Fight by the number. 8 heroes (I include Jepthah and Israelite Archer for Naaman and pesky cards like him), Chariot of Fire, and then 7 enhancements (multi-colored armor of God ones). And you're set.
