Title: Black/Grey Heroless idea
Post by: golgotha on December 11, 2010, 08:32:50 PM
Again, stolling through my Multi-colored cards and noticed there were 5 for Black and Grey. I reckon that the defence would work well, with all the Pharisees, High Priests, Saducees, etc. Could it be possible to make a "Heroless" out of these two brigades? I was thinking like Naaman, Saul/Paul, Holy Grail, as far as getting heroes. Since Naaman turns into a red brigade hero by default, I figured maybe some red battle winners for offence. gonna try and see what else I can come up with tonight on my own....got any ideas?

Healing of Naaman. U+T is also awesome for heroless.

Black or Black/Grey is a common Heroless motif. Especially since Saul is a Phar and would get protection from the palace.

Hmmm...noticed both Black and Grey have a EC who is immune to Lone Heroes....throw in Obsidian Minion, Panic Demons, and Saph and some Philistines...could do a banding motif defence....maybe...instead of the high Priest/Saducee/Pharisee. Just to double check, can I have both "High Priest Annas" in my deck, just not in play at the same time?

I did a hero-lite with grey romans/lite phar. it worked out very well.

You can only have one per 50, since both versions have the same name and same artwork. The reason I like black best for Heroless is that it is more focused on Hero destruction (Wrath, Hunger) and it is probably the only brigade with both a strong OT and NT civilization, which makes it very versatile. Gray can be good, but it is more focused on stalling than destroying opposing offenses. I could see a Pharisee/Roman Hybrid Heroless doing okay, but I'd still suggest black.

I would abandon any thoughts of a defense based primarily on banding, unless you include some of the CBN banders (Gomer, Wandering Spirit, King Manasseh with Gates of Jerusalem, Spirit of Temptation, etc.) Panic Demons and Obsidian Minions won't do much.

Has anyone ever tried "The Masters Table" in Heroless?

The Masters Table
Covenant
Each time an Evil Character is converted, you may discard a demon. If a lost soul or N.T. Human Hero is discarded, you may discard this card to return it to territory instead.

i don't see why not except that it would be hard to have both HG and TMT active at the same time

unless with hero-lite you use green/micah and after the second use of HG, play meal to activate TMT
