				I was wondering what people thought about the magicians being a realistic deck. The new cards have made so many deck types possible but i think that magicians with demons and recurring enhancements to the bottom of the deck would be effective, so i was wondering what everybody else thought.
			
- 
				Magicians and Demons probably got my favorite stuff in this set; I definitely think PG/Orange(/Crimson perhaps?) defenses will be used quite a bit from now on.
			
- 
				Yeah, Magicians got some cool stuff for sure.
			
- 
				User of curious arts is almost broken. 3 brigades?? that's sickeningly crazy.  Damsel with spirit of divination would be grrrrreat against speed for sure.
			
- 
				PG?
			
- 
				Pale Green.
			
- 
				Pg/crimson
			
- 
				PG/Orange :)
			
- 
				PG/Crimson :)

				Consider this line-up for a 3 brigade defense:
 
 Deceiving Spirit (Orange/selected brigade)
 Crippling Demon (Orange/Pale Green)
 Astrologers (Crimson/Pale Green)
 Damsel with Spirit of Divination (Pale Green/Orange)
 User of Curious Arts (Pale Green/Orange/selected brigade)
 Enchanter (Pale Green-can use Orange EE to use SA)
 
 Add in Simon the Magician with a few tasty black EE plus Magic Charms and I'd say Magicians are already a viable defense.  :thumbup:
 
- 
				Haha, then they go in with Claudia+ET+Job Overcomes, just because they can.  ;D
			
- 
				No one plays Job Overcomes, so why plan for it?
			
- 
				I put it in ALL blue decks. Although I don't use blue decks...  ::)
			
- 
				What does Job overcomes do?

 Tim's discarding deck doesn't use it. That's all I need to know, considering it couldn't even make a deck devoted to discarding the hand.
- 
				i love using splash defense there are so many combinations
			
- 
				After reading job overcomes i definitely agree with lightning ninja job overcomes can shut them down pretty hard as well as the red set aside card 
			
- 
				as far as the red set aside card since your already using orange you can throw in the theif to discard the set aside hero.
			
- 
				That is true
			
- 
				I'm pretty stoked about revealing the top six cards, putting a ls on top and going in with jepthah.  ;D

 It was in some iterations of it. It mainly existed while I thought I could use Obedience of Noah to give my opponent Self and then Job Overcomes them to death. In fact, Job Overcomes was in it during SE Regionals 2008 and I got to use it against someone with a multicolor card present. Then again, I had terrible, terrible performance during that tournament (I got a bye, random little kids were trying to help me by giving me advice during the games...).
- 
				:rollin: So self doesn't work? bummer...
			
- 
				If they have their own Self, it's fine, but you can't count brigades that they control but don't own (like chosen blockers of yours).
