Title: Best small offense?
Post by: hi123 on February 20, 2011, 07:27:54 PM: Well, I am looking for a really small offense, but it has to be really powerful with the people at my playgroup. i have a defense right now that is really hard to beat but it is really big. So I am looking for an offense of 15 cards at MOST !

Here is the Defense:

The Rabsaris
The Assyrian Spoilers
King Shalmaneser

Witch of Endor
Wizards
Enchanter

The Amalakites Slave
Uzzah

Magicians Snakes
Achans Sin
The Rabshakeh Threats
Two Thousand Horses
Confusion

Assyrias Tribute
Peters Curse
Go into Captivity
Captured Ark
Magic Charms
Unholy Writ

Will this deck do well with Zebulan only offense? If not, I want a speed offense.

Job, Abraham's Descendent, Seraphim, Striking Herod, Job's Faith, Dust and Ashes, Jubilee, Job Overcomes.

Post by: Tom Bombadil on March 16, 2011, 01:35:15 PM: Right because you can't target discarded cards... but there has to be some way to stop Darius' Decree though.. I mean there are not a lot of cards in redemption without a counter to it that I know of.
