Title: Defenseless fundimentals
Post by: Cameron the Conqueror on February 14, 2009, 05:32:01 PM

Hey everyone,

     I am considering making a defenseless deck, and I was wondering if someone could explain the deck type to me.  I'm interested in creating a defenseless version of my Suicidal Priest Deck (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=14502.0).  Obviously, I know it has no defense, but what are cards that make this work?  (like Unholy Writ....)

     Do sites work well?  Obviously, you couldn't play many of the lockout cards, but do they work well as a small roadblock?

Thanks,
     Cameron

I'd recommend having only the slaves and malchus to generate souls...  ;D

But for hardcore you have none. You need a speed style, with Harvest time, Hur, feast of trumpets, and anything that makes you/them draw to generate souls. You're goal isn't to stop them, it's to make sure that they don't get any souls. Burial Shroud works great. Have a defense that can always beat a defense for a soul and make sure you always have a soul. that's about it... just experiment!  :)

usually when making a defenseless you use 4 defense cards CM/Burial/FA/Unholy Writ thatsit: your offense must be able to attack and win pretty much every turn otherwise your dead. It works well to have a speed deck form. Red and Teal and TGT are good Brigades to go defenseless with

i find purple and silver with a splash of blue and green with a sprinkle of purple works fairly well...
