Title: Defense Needed for Disciple Deck
Post by: Arrthoa on July 11, 2013, 07:00:45 AM

I needed a defense for my deck that is 13-18 cards (characters and enhancements only). This is not a tournament deck, but I was thinking of either a magician/demon, emperor/demon, or pure demon defense.

Demons can run pretty big I currently run a demon defense which has 22 slots for characters and enhancements only, this doesn't count arts like laver and forts like Gates.

22 cards in Characters and enhancements only is too many for a balanced defense, and too few for defense-heavy.

I think Egyptian speed and deck discard can be a blast

Forts (3)
Storehouse
Pithom
PTR

Characters (11)
Dreaming pharaoh
Egyptian warden
Egyptian wisemen
Cupbearer
Baker
Egyptian Magicians
Huge Egyptian
Egyptian Charioteers
Foreign Wives
A-slave
Egyptian Archer

Enhancements (7)
Egyptian Spear
Egyptian Horses
Swift Horses
Besiege the City
Failed objective
Wonders Forgotten
Moses kills an Egyptian

Curses (1)
Given over to Egypt

22 slots is bigger the. U wanted but if I was going to cut I would cut
Charioteers
Warden
Archer
Moses Kills an Egyptian

That makes you 18

Would a Phili defense work for this deck?
