Title: Gates of Jerusalem/High Places Sitelock
Post by: BubbleBoy on November 11, 2009, 06:53:14 PM
These themes fit together very nicely. I'm not very good at perfecting ideas, but here's a rough draft of my idea with mainly the essentials:

Foul Spirit
King Ahaz
King Jeroboam
King Nadab
King Zedekiah

Dungeon of Malchiah
Gibeonite Trickery
Korah's Rebellion
Land Purchase
Taking Naboth's Vineyard

King Abijah
King Rehoboam
Queen Maachah

Large Tree (beast!)
Nebuchadnezzar's Pride
Set Fire

Lying Unto God


Captured Ark

Asherah Pole

Gates of Jerusalem
High Places

Destruction of Nehushtan

Agh! Why does EVERYONE say to add in threatened lives? It's really only useful with high places...

Pardon my intrusion, but what is Gates of Jerusalem? I haven't heard of that card and can't find it in the REG. >_<

Yep I read it, thanks for the assumption Alex.  :P

My point is that it's not that useful unless you have high places..... just because you build a deck with high places doesn't mean you NEED high places to lock your opponent. And a "lock" is supposed to be just that: a lock. Threatened Lives is NOT a lock.

threatened lives is awesome. put a BBH to the bottom and you just gained a LOT more turns for your lock cards to come up.

Plenty of cards aren't locks, but when they have the potential to uber delay the game, you don't toss it aside. He's playing with High Places, making it infinately easier to use, and so, really, he has no reason not to use Threatened Lives.

I would love to see a King David play this deck.
