Personally, I find brown to be a lot of fun, but that's because I always abuse number-decreasing and disease cards.

Deacons is the lamest theme I mean come on 7 characters and only two of them have any good use? And only one enhansment even says deacon on it! I think Deacons get this award second to none.

lamest theme of decks i think are:

garden tomb cause when i played a garden tomb offense, it's been used against me and there should be a ruling that forbids my own garden tomb from being used against me and anyone else who plays it.

Z.temple cause you can't do ANYTHING to get rid of their offense, wether it'd be discard,removal,convert or capture when it's with covenant with phinehas

speed cause it's for noobs

and

sitelock cause it's not fair for anyone whose playong sitelock to get locked out and no longe have access while their opponent gets up to 5 souls for an unfair win.

Remember kiddies, when you can't figure out how to beat something whine and call it lame.

I haven't played a garden tomb deck yet but I don't see the big problem with it.  It can be easy to get around and even dominate.  I wont call it lame I would call it good but beatable

Quote
Z.temple cause you can't do ANYTHING to get rid of their offense, wether it'd be discard,removal,convert or capture when it's with covenant with phinehas

I cant agree that this is lame.  This is anything BUT Lame.  If they have lampstand in z-s temple and especially with the new jonathan son of jehodia card, this makes z-temple offenses very powerful.  When it gets like this, it becomes tough to negotiate around aside from a site lockout.  I agree that it isn't fun to play with, but I cant agree that it is lame [/quote]

speed cause it's for noobs
Whatever, speed is good and it is not for noobs.

sitelock cause it's not fair for anyone whose playong sitelock to get locked out and no longe have access while their opponent gets up to 5 souls for an unfair win.

Site lockout is easy to get around...if you plan for site access and put those cards in your deck.  I love this defense because so many people can fall victim to it ;)

speed is for n00bs presisely because it's so good.

lol Raven, you're calling your own deck lame and good in the same sentance? wow.

Sit lockout is nigh impossible to get around. in my sitelock deck (I don't use it in tournaments that I care about though, as I timed out miserably last time), I use Zebulon as my offence. I have 30?ish evil cards in my deck. recuring Taking Naboth's Vineyard with King Nadab, who it cannot be negated on, kills all sites, and then you have to waste a card on a BC to get rid of him. then you pull out that one crimson mask to get rid of any others. artifacts are easy. I captured ark you, I Crucify Him you, I DoN you, and I think I might have LuG in there. when a defence is built around sitelock, it's impossible to stop, so my opponents seem to just stall, thinking that there IS a way around it, which there is not. I've stopped using access sites, because if you use a site deck, gg, let's time out.

The first part of your sentence is the complete reason for the second part of your sentence.  It almost makes me want to build a stereotypical TGT deck just to show you :)

I've stopped using access sites, because if you use a site deck, gg, let's time out.
I find access sites to still be useful against non-site-lock-out decks.  Almost all decks have Hormah these days, and often there will be one other site thrown in for some combo based on it.  These decks don't usually focus on killing the access so it works.  For that matter total site-lock-out doesn't seem to work anymore with all the ways to create LSs (TAS, Hopper, Malchus, Seeker, Hur + Gifts, Harvest Time, and LS creators like Pot's Wife, Elders, War Officer, Recruiting Officer, Servant Girl, etc.)

O_o; you've never played against me with a site lock deck have you? Not saying site lock isn't powerful, but unstoppable? No way, not even CLOSE to true.

unless you use green/red brigade, it's about impossible. even if you use both green and red, it'll be VERY difficult.

note: my sitelock is not on RTS... perhaps I'll get it on there.

Update, I just demolished a TGT Deck 5-0.  TGT are great against splash or standalone defenses.  If you play a rogue defense or a theme defense then TGT are VERY weak.  I had no problem with anything the TGT threw at me.

True, one win doesn't make me an athourity on beating the TGT, but I do know that if you play only one color on the defense, then TGT looses a lot of its power.

With the babylon/banquet LS Lokout decks, there is more room for LS so they can absorb the extra LS because very few will use all of them.  if you have 5 babylons, a multi color site and a banquet hall then you can hold 11 LS (12 with a doubler) SO that gives you lots of room for the extra LS.  I havent seen a lot of people use elders of the city although I have been using it lately.  Pots wife is getting alot of play b/c of the egyptian defense, but usually people want to d/c cards not use pots wife.

And I suppose--in your own mind--that makes you an authority on beating the TGT.  Is that how we roll nowadays, c-to-the-rustpope?

You have to admit, it's more colorful than a boring old "+1 crustpope," which was my other option.

OK, stereotypical TGT coming your way, buddy.  If for no other reason than to add another person to the cause of never printing another pre-block ignore card in Redemption :)  PM me your schedule, and we'll get a game or 2 in this week.

Wow, Prof gives in to the empty tomb of goodness.  Well, if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em.  ;D

Sorry, Prof, I just couldn't resist.  ;)

On a more serious note, once they release more counters for stuff like pre-block ignore and choose the blocker, and those "unfair" stratagies get toned down to the point where they're about as easy to stop as other good offensive stratagies (assuming people choose to play the new counters), then I wouldn't mind seeing another pre-block ignore or choose the blocker card printed some day. 

All I'm saying is that never is a long time.  I don't see Cactus making any more of those types of cards in the near future though.

Not to worry.  I sometimes play with decks that I hate just to teach other people to hate them.  That doesn't mean that I'll give in and actually play one in a big tournament :)  In fact, I played a stereotypical speed deck for most of the small tournaments that I went to in OH all last year in an attempt to get more people to hate speed and join MASK.  Of course we all know how ridiculously effective that was :)
