Title: My Philly Defense?
Post by: hi123 on March 18, 2011, 06:31:44 PM: Well, I am not sure how this will work, so I am looking for some advice!

EC's( 6)

Phillisting Armor Bearer
Phillistine Garrison
Twelve Fingered Giant
Phillistine Priests
Uzzah
Fallen Warrior

EE's:

Bringing Fear
Philly Chariots and Horses
Joseph in Prison
Foolish Advice
Pride of Simon
Torment

Artifacts( that help w/defense)

Going into Captivity
Unholy Writ
Captured Ark

Fots( that help w/defense)

Philly Outpost

I think it is a good defense? .

Imitating Evil is Crimson - did you mean Pride of Simon? Pride of Simon would be a good addition as well. And definitely keep Simon in there.

Yes, pride of Simon. ( I do not have this actual defense right now, I am looking for a good defense, that is why I am off on that card. :doh: )

JiP is a great battlewinner to play on Simon... Gets rid of TSA CBN-style. Plus, merely having Simon sitting in your territory may cause your opponent to think twice about attacking with a NT hero.

Philistine Priests don't get enough credit. They aren't as good of a block as Garrison or 12 Fingers most of the time but people don't expect them or prepare for them. In the Philly defense I used to win T2 at Nats the Philistine Priests literally won me a game 7-6 by negating an artifact. Not to mention if you're going all out Philistines that Temple of Dagon + Altar of Dagon can be excruciating for certain decks to face.
