Cactus Game Design Message Boards

I want to try to build a big herolite/turtle deck (70-100 cards), but I don't what defense to use. I'm not necessarily looking for a specific theme like Abom or Babs, just for something that can manage speed and last most of the game. Any suggestions?

The best thing to "manage speed" would be another speed deck.  Personally, I'd say to just pick one and have fun.  You won't be winning any tournaments with a defense-heavy deck, so have fun!

I've made plenty of speed decks. Looking to try something a little different. Anyway, here's what I am thinking of so far (just the defense).....

Greeks/Demons/Abom/
Doms:
CM
DoN
Mayhem
FA
Burial

Curses/Arts
RBD
Hezzy's Ring
Writ
Cov. with Death
Charms
HoH (for trembling demon. I'll also have a temple to hold to)
UN OR A-Pole 


Forts:
Gates of hell
KoTW
Outpost
High places

ECs:
Goliath
Garrison
12 fingered giant
Fallen warrior
Philly priests
Armorbearer
Antiochus
Winged-Leopard
Philetus
Goat with Horn
WS
Trembling Demon
KoT
PoTW
Spirit of Temptation
King Manny
Simon the Magician
7 sons
uzzah

EEs:
Abom
JiP
Philly chariots
Overwhelmed by phillies
Wrath
Foolish Advice
Bringing Fear
SSS
Deafening Spirit
Sinning Hand
Destructive Sin
Worshipped Demons
Pride of Simon
Pride before Calamity

Sites:
Pergammum 
BBH
babylon x?

I probably have too many ECs. I'm also open to suggestions on which sites to use other than BBH/B.

I found that Kings of Israel/Judah and Magicians with a splash of Presians work well for a strong defense.
