Title: Egyptian Backup?
Post by: megamanlan on September 11, 2011, 04:04:53 AM

I am planning on making an Egyptian Setup, what Enhancemens would I use in it?
Besides the Weapons and the Good Cards that state Egyptian.

Wonders Forgotten, Failed Objective, and Swift Horses. That's all I can think of.

Is that all that people run in an Egyptian deck now (beyond the good Egyptian Cards)
Also who are the good Pharoahs to run? (Besides The Dreaming Pharaoh)

Evil Characters x10
Pharoah’s Baker
Pharoah’s Cupbearer
Potiphar
Potiphar’s Wife
Egyptian Warden
Egyptian Magicians
Jannes
The Amalekites Slave
King of Tyrus
The Dreaming Pharoah

Evil Enhancements x8
Wonders Forgotten
Mask of Fear
Enslaved By Egypt
Beheaded
Egyptian Horses
Swift Horses
Failed Objective
Ruthless

That should get you started.

I'd take out Potiphar and his wife, Enslaved by Egypt, beheaded and ruthless and add Evil Spirit.

I never liked Evil Spirit, and plus how would KoT or Evil Spirit help in a Genesis Egyptian Deck? Not to mention that Baker/Cupbearer don't let u search it/add it to battle.

I personally have all the Characters chosen out, I'm just wondering what Enhancements are good for them.

Both are actually great recommendations for any gold defense, be it Genesis Egyptians, a broader Egyptian defense or Herods.

KoT is large and negates all abilities. There are times when that can be really awesome and simply hold off your opponents for quite a while. He's been one of the best blockers in the game for over 10 years.

Evil Spirit is a card I would not have played last year because most people were using a NT offense. This year a lot of players are trying out the new, power-packed OT themes. That makes Evil Spirit (Ki) a CBN battle winner that works on your 0/3 initiative characters or KoT.

KOT or some kind of demon would help a lot, just in case someone played ignore. I would put in Egyptian spears and the discard the top card from the starter deck and from angel wars. And even Pagan Sacrifices. Thanks.

Would people recommend Throne Room?

But he is asking about what enhancement to put in, not other cards.

I'm asking about Throne Room.  In my group's limited meta, it's nigh useless.

I would definitely put thorn room in a Egyptian deck., because is a great help.

I'd put it in a substantial Egyptian defense, but not a compact one that basically is just there to chump and speed the offense.

I'm using the Throne Room. I also like Building Egypt too.
But I really want to know what is the best for Genesis Egyptians.

The tin.  Basically.  Warden's also Genesis, but I haven't used him much.

I'm saying Enhancement-wise.
