Meta game, one of my opponents is running a Roman Emperor/Demon Defense and he took 1st place last month over me with margin on the LS score, believe it was 5-2 or 3, can't remember. I'm already running 3 Nails and he normally runs Golden Calf & Confusion of Mind against me and I'm mostly running OT Warrior-class heros (Red/Teal Beatdown deck). What are some cards that could break through his defense?

We've basically been battling for dominance in tournaments over our play group. We've been tweaking our decks to beat eachother over the last couple months.

Ram's Horn and The Sabbath give Teal/Red some added CBI/CBN power. A Soldier's Prayer can recur The Sabbath also.

Go TGT/Philly. Your defense should be very small.

Unless they have Rome in their deck.

The Guardian · « **Reply #10 on:** December 07, 2010, 06:19:55 PM »

Switching to a whole different deck would not be the best idea IMO. Keep tweaking the deck you are familiar with. When I run into a deck that my deck struggles against, I look at the entire thing and determine what cards are helping me the most and what cards are doing me no good at all, and make adjustments from there. If there's a particular combo or strategy that my opponent relies on, I look to see what counters are available that would fit in my deck without changing it too much.

Deck Metrics · « **Reply #11 on:** December 07, 2010, 07:14:21 PM »

Thank you Guardian, yeah I'm not too fond of completely changing my deck. I would need to play test if I did go with a switch, which isn't possible with the tournament being this weekend.

Or you could just copy a nats winning deck.

If I had the cards, but I wanna stick with my deck hence why I posted the tread.

No Rome? If he has Rome I would reccomend Simon the Zealot.

Daniel TS RED · « **Reply #15 on:** December 08, 2010, 10:51:31 AM »

Could you post your deck, so we could see both and then it would be easier to offer some help.

I didn't abbreviate so I'd appreciate the same courtesy. I don't know what you mean by JiP. Wrath, do you mean Wrath of Satan? I don't own it. Foolish Advice, I think I might have one. Let me check it out...
