Title: Keep Refined by Fire?
Post by: LordZardeck on January 17, 2012, 08:03:30 PM: I'm using a FBTN heavy offense in my deck, but i'm looking to refine my deck a little. Would refined by fire be a major card to keep since it gives a huge persistent bonus to FBTN?

Post by: Nameless on January 17, 2012, 08:27:24 PM: Don't use banding cards use banding heros and Chariots, and make your deck FBTNB instead of FBTN.

This. FBTNB shouldn't rely on enhancements. (Except maybe David's Triumph)

CotH, TSA, Gathering.

Post by: LordZardeck on January 17, 2012, 10:02:11 PM: banding is negated by tsa unless captain comes in first

Post by: Rawrlolsauce! on January 17, 2012, 10:40:52 PM: ~~Ring Wraith~~ ~~Andrew~~ ~~Hero~~ Westy was offering suggestions for a FBTNB deck. FBTNB don't care about brigades because they don't use enhancements (at least not very many).
Title: Re: Keep Refined by Fire?
Post by: LordZardeck on January 17, 2012, 10:41:33 PM: i'm not trying to use mono silver exactly, but I don't want more than 2 brigades.

Then your best bet is a blue splash with Jacob.

The best Silver/Green combo is Isaiah, which requires an Assyrian defense to be used properly (and I know you don't use them). It also has a Purple King, which puts you at 3 brigades, more than you want. Blue has Jacob (band to silver) along with RTC, which is nice for a free rescue.

If you are doing that then your deck cannot really be FBTN or FBTNB.

I agree with this. Silver has two of the strongest FBTN heroes in the game, however, FBTN, in itself, isn't strong anymore. FBTNB, however, is, and by nature, FBTNB uses way more than two brigades, and in some versions can theoretically use all seven, if I'm not mistaken.
