Post by: katedid on April 12, 2011, 10:57:41 PM: Well, to put this into perspective, I'm in SomeKittens college playgroup and I'm one of the newbs who plays the most often. I never win, at least not yet, but this deck does hold its own fairly well. I lost 3/5 to a crazy panic demon defense, so I'm getting better and optomistic.

Post by: Red on April 12, 2011, 11:03:24 PM: My first thought:This is too spread out. Using no more than 2 colors on offense and defense is a good idea. But hey I don't know what your play VS.(BTW add AOTL)
Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: katedid on April 13, 2011, 12:01:05 AM: :doh: somehow AOTL got shuffled out when I finally got card sleeves. That was a fail and a half. Its back in now. replacing without food

Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: katedid on April 15, 2011, 04:28:06 PM: Enhancements I like, but just to keep in mind, im still playing with alot of starter cards. at the moment I dont really have enough money to get more, but my goal is to play predominately pale green and silver.
Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: Minister Polarius on April 16, 2011, 12:01:50 AM: Then be prepared to lose. A lot. Using the worst Evil brigade with the second worst Good brigade is a frightful prospect. However, one of the two will be significantly better by the time you start amassing cards, so you may be ok.
Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: katedid on April 16, 2011, 09:59:07 PM: It has been my experience that a good brigade is only good if you play it well. I have seen both pale green and silver played with extremely good strategy and skill and I've liked the results I've seen.
Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: The M on April 16, 2011, 10:04:49 PM: I would combine both brigades with something else.
Silver/Blue or Silver/White is very competitive and Pale Green/Orange or Pale Green/Brown are good.
Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: Minister Polarius on April 16, 2011, 11:48:20 PM: To be fair, good Silver/Blue is mostly Blue, good Silver/White is mostly white, and good PG/Brown is mostly brown. PG/Orange could have a bit more PG, but isn't as good as pure Orange.

Do you have something against enhancements?
If you are using demon banding correctly I find that having evil enhancements can get in the way, with the exception of deafening spirit. I am currently trying to figure out how to make an offence work with next to no enhancements but it's not there just yet. I am determined that it can be done however.

Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: Nameless on April 17, 2011, 10:14:51 AM: I would stick to one evil bergade. I tried that 2 year ago but it did not work.
Except for crimson i had babylonians
Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: katedid on April 17, 2011, 01:52:57 PM: I've tried doing one color and for some reason it just doesnt set well with me. I like the options two gives me. Yes, I recognize by playing more than one I limit the amount of enhancments I can use but with two I feel its harder for my opponent to figure out my strategy and if one brigade isnt working I can just use the other.

A lot of Silver + Some Jacob and Genesis stuff = wyn
A lot of White + Some Angel in the Path and angels = wyn
Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: Nameless on April 17, 2011, 05:28:12 PM: you could add more evil battle winers
Title: Re: Deck Advice- Any sugestions?
Post by: Andy Herzog on August 24, 2011, 04:33:08 PM: I think you should take out the burial and stick to a one color defense.
