			- 
				I want to build two decks, each with a 2 color offense. Which should i pick? I don't mind have one of the colors show up in both decks....
 
 1. green*
 2. purple
 3. teal
 4. white*
 
 *for sure what to use, not necessarily together...
- 
				Teal/Green and Teal/Purple
			
- 
				I agree with Pol. Other popular combinations are:
 
 Silver + Blue
 Purple + Red (Disciples mostly)
 White (TGT mostly) + Pretty much anything except Blue and Silver
- 
				i was thinking 
 TGT white/green prophets
 and
 purple/teal or purple/white
- 
				mhmm :)
			
- 
				I decided one of my decks will be green/white/crimson, but for my teal/purple deck I'm not sure what to use. 
 
 I have a philly defense and demon defense that could be options, any other ideas?
- 
				Green + Gold
			
- 
				i need ideas for defense....
			
- 
				Stand-alone.
			
- 
				Stand-alone.
 
 
 is there a particularly good example i should go off of?
- 
				brown orange pale green.
 King M
 Women as Snares
 Gomer
 KOT
 Wandering Spirit
 SWS
 SOT
 Hamans Plot
 DOU
 Forgotten History
 Gates of J
 Gates of H
 and finally Elymas.
- 
				DOU?
			
- 
				DOU?
 
 
 Death O' Uzzah
 And if you want to have a good deck, do not go stand-alone. ;)
 
 
 What do you recommend?
- 
				Death of the Unrighteous. And standalone works just fine.
			
- 
				Q- put this in what you consider order of best to worst....
 
 phillies w/outpost
 demons w/gates
 crimson w/idk
 pale green w/idk
 grey w/idk
 brown w/idk
- 
				teal/green and white/purple
 Haggai              Lydia

 demons w/gates

 1. Crimson (Babylonians) ~ Rockin' characters, lotso' battlewinners + interrupts, just a very solid, powerful defense (my pers. fav 8))
 
 2. Demons/Gates ~ Rockin' characters, lotso' banding, immune to conversion, CB ignored w/ Golgotha, very solid if built well
 
 3. Brown Persians/Judeans ~ Very viable w/ new Di cards, and CB ignored w/ Haman's Gallows. Good recursion, great characters, great enhancements, great overall defense (King Manasseh! ;D)
 
 4. Grey Pharisees ~ Pharisees over Romans b/c they don't give inish every battle like the Emperors, and are very effective against NT offenses (also work better w/ a manipulative offense). It's kinda funny that Emperors are strong against Pharisees' weakness (FBTN) and Pharisees are good against Emperors' weakness (inish) so a combo of those two could be interesting... If you want to go old school and use Syrians, good luck; they haven't gotten support for the last two sets, so they'll be by-the-book grey. Your opponent might know what you'll do before you do. :P
 
 5. PG Magicians w/ Demons ~ I prefer Magicians over Assyrians, b/c of the compatibility w/ demons. Lotso' recursion, deck manipulation, banding, sneaky battlewinners (Worshiping Demons, DOU, etc.)
 
 6. Phillys/Outpost ~ This was easily the defense I saw the most last year, but it didn't get any support this set, and Nazareth killed Outpost, so if someone has Naz+C.P., unless u have Benedictus, your Land Dispute isn't going to help u. Phillies also tend to get rocked by conversion and ignore... :P
 
 The only defense o' the above that I'm not using right now is Emperors and Phillies/Outpost. You didn't mention Gold (Herods), which I would put at number 2 spot for their CBP awesomeness, and the withdraw theme (which is hard to protect from). Herod's Temple+Golgotha+Chorazin+C.P. make them almost invincible 8).
 
 I remind you, these are my personal preferences. You can do a Stand-alone or Philly Outpost defense if u want to (I dare you! :laugh:), but small defenses in general won't be as effective as last year. :2cents:
- 
				Well, I'm going to use babs in my white/green deck.... i haven't really looked at herods before (although i've heard plenty), can you point me in the direction of a herod defense on the forum that is a good start?
			
- 
				Mine is mostly that minus a few cards. That list will do for a basic idea of a Herods defense.
			
- 
				The Herod defense hasn't really worked out well for me and I had the same defense except for one card.
			
- 
				I decided to switch up my offense idea.
 
 I'm going to build a blue & grey deck.
 
 I'm also going to build a green/ _____ & crimson deck
 
 -suggestions for second offensive color for the decks? how about defense for the second deck?
 I like...
 good- gold, teal, purple
 evil- crimson, black, palegreen
 
 I'm also going to build a white/ ______ & _______ deck
- 
				deck 1: teal
 
 Deck 2: purple, black
- 
				deck 1: teal
 
 Deck 2: purple, black
 
 
 which black strategy?
- 
				phillies
			
- 
				phillies
 
 Phillys are dead.
- 
				I was actually thinking of making a phillies, sadz, and magicians deck.... if i went with black that is....
			
- 
				phillies
 
 Phillys are dead.
 
 
 How are they dead?
