Title: brown+orange design
Post by: RTSmaniac on April 17, 2009, 11:37:41 AM: im trying to comeup with a deck design based on a brown/orange weakness combo:
i need weakness in territory some how...king zeddy?
weakness in territory + fallen angel+morgan+gib trick/worship demon

seizing spirit+nadab+gib trick
seizing spirit+jeraboam+two possessed by demons

Post by: DaClock on April 17, 2009, 11:44:36 AM: I like the idea. Maybe use side battles to get Weakness into your opponent's territory.

Post by: RTSmaniac on April 17, 2009, 03:02:12 PM: Whats that brown card that discards all heros thats diseased? Does it still work with plague with disease?
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: RTSmaniac on April 17, 2009, 03:04:20 PM: it looks like this type of deck would be weak against wool fleece.how would i stop that?
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: STAMP on April 17, 2009, 03:14:13 PM: Faces of Death.

Captured Ark. (But I really don't see much of Wool Fleece.)
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: RTSmaniac on April 17, 2009, 04:08:51 PM: so does plague w/ disease still count for faces of death?
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: The Schaef on April 17, 2009, 04:22:12 PM: Yes.
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: RTSmaniac on April 17, 2009, 08:10:12 PM: sounds like another great play for sidebattledge...go go gadget green prophets
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: DaClock on April 17, 2009, 09:09:13 PM: Green prophets could be a great choice. However, you'll need to make sure that your side battles don't get negated. Also, since you'll be dedicating a good portion of your offense to using your defense you should make sure to have multiple copies of Search/Micah to get what you want and to get stuff back if you need to.

I've always had success using Morgan. Although to be fair, I've never seen anyone else put him in a deck.

Post by: The Schaef on April 19, 2009, 12:31:25 AM: I am a big fan of Morgan in demon decks that rely on Tartaros. He's one of the only brown characters in my Panic Demon kamikaze deck, because there are no brown DoUs yet.

Unfortunately not, in this case. Just wishful thinking.

Post by: The Schaef on April 19, 2009, 02:22:51 PM: Brown is for nubs, anyway. NT gold is the new brown.

Post by: Mageduckey on April 19, 2009, 02:39:40 PM: Hey, Schaef - can you please help me with my NT Emperor defense (since you obviously know a lot about NT, based off your last post :P)? Thanks!

Post by: RTSmaniac on April 19, 2009, 04:09:58 PM: Im trying to make this into a multi player type 2 deck- but its not going very well so far.

Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: Gabe on April 23, 2009, 08:28:13 AM: I thought it was obvious that he's talking about Chief Captain Lysias. ::)
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: Bryon on April 23, 2009, 01:53:25 PM: LOL. I had Herodias in the first Type 2 deck that I took to nats. A couple of my opponents laughed at me. This was before Patriarchs released. I was nervous about 5X Women as Snares. :)

Turned out she made a couple successful blocks, and I went undefeated. :) Those were the days...
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: lightningninja on April 23, 2009, 05:14:10 PM: NICE! Now you have rediculous bragging right! LOL But I think she might be coming back again...
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: RTSmaniac on April 24, 2009, 08:38:23 PM: yea right. Flashier than ever i bet.

I've always had success using Morgan. Although to be fair, I've never seen anyone else put him in a deck.

Do I count?

I also use Graven and Desolate Gateways. I have a killer brown site lock with a lot of underused cards in it. :)

Jobs 3 Friends work as well. Also, if you want a good chance of playing Weakness, throw in The Jeering Youths. If they bloick with an O.T. hero, go for it. Complainers are great for getting initiative too, just swap for some huge numbered hero. Injuring Demon is an easy -2/2 on a hero for orange.

I seriously love decrease/disease, but it just doesnt have enough punch to FULLY base a defense on it. It works amazingly when mixed with Sitelock or something else.
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: MichaelHue on April 26, 2009, 09:09:05 AM: At one point I had a 100 card Heroless deck that used a Brown decreasing defense. It worked pretty well, I actually used several cards like Ignorance (4/4 Decrease to all heroes in play) and Wounded. With two of each of those and Plagued with Diseases and Chemosh going all at once, I could kill a LOT of heroes if my opponent was silly enough to put them in his territory. Adding Weakness just makes it more fun.
Title: Re: brown+orange design
Post by: BubbleBoy on April 26, 2009, 09:16:44 AM: Chemosh isn't a disease, is it? If so, that's awesome!
