Title: I need a Pharisee Defense!
Post by: Arrthoa on June 05, 2012, 04:35:09 PM: I have 11 spot left in my deck so all i need are my Evil Characters and enhancements

Post by: Red Wing on June 05, 2012, 04:41:20 PM: EC 6

Scribe
Proud Pharisee
Entraping Pharisees
Hard-Hearted Religious Leaders
Generic Pharisee x1
Uzzah

EE 4

Just a Hireling
Tenants Kill the Son
Balaam's Disobedience
Pretension

That leaves you with another spot for either another EC or EE.

Pretty much that, but with a Gold Shield for sure. I'd also use two Pharisees instead of just one.

He totally slipped my mind. Maybe add him as your 11th spot.

Post by: Minister Polarius on June 06, 2012, 05:32:32 PM: A capture theme is the worst thing you can shoot for on defense.

For 11 cards Phars I'd do:

Scribe
Proud
Entrapping
Saul
TAS
Pharisees x2
Balaam's Disobedience
Just a Hireling
Doctrine like Leaven
False Peace

This only works if you have Holy Grail, Hormah and the 2-Line LS (Marketplace optional but recommended). Otherwise you're better off with a different defense at 11.

Capture isn't reliable due to the prevalence of capture protection. That said, Night Raid can be used to generate lost souls, one thing Pharisees lack.
