Overhauling my priest offense...going with Tabernacle theme
-
You can't possibly not run Zeal for the Lord in a teal deck.
-
Well you could do any of the following teal priest themes:
Solomon's temple
Tabernacle priests
Zerubabbels Temple priests
Other card suggestions would be:
Altar of Incense
Burning Incense (CBN ignore with Altar of Incense active)
Urim and Thummim
Trumpet Blast
Zechariah (negates N.T enhancements )
Just my intake on this.
-
If you use Solomons Temple (ST) make sure you use mostly ST priests. And use ST from RoA set.
-
If you plan on using Eleazar son of Aaron, you will need some Tabernacle priests to trigger his ability. I recommend Phinehas son of Eleazar and Eli the Priest at a minimum.
Amariah and Joshua the High Priest are both House of Eleazar Priests. They get CBI and CBN GEs, respectively. Using them would probably let you cut His Name Is John.
You could also add AUTO, Moses, and Eli's Sound Advice for the Tabernacle Priests/Judges synergy.
Any deck that uses Eleazar and Aaron's Staff should try and fit in I Am Holy, in my opinion. Not only can you get cost-free uses out of IaH via Eleazar's recursion, but having both IaH and Aaron's Staff up and running at the same time can completely lock your opponent out from ever having the defense in hand needed to block. Also, IaH goes great with Moses to stop the CBP LS.
Just some thoughts.

Yeah I realize now there are certain families of priest that work better together. Also, not sure how to keep this from being artifact heavy....love the suggestions just means a lot of artifacts.

I have been wanting to use Moses, just didn't want to make a bom deck...that would be awesome to put him in here. Thanks for the suggestions!! Just thought though, Moses negates everything pretty much except cloud stuff...how could I keep him from shutting my ROJ priest cards down, yet still use him?
-
You can use the Warriors Moses--he's just a regular "fight by numbers" Hero.

Just... :rollin:

That's what I'm planning to do in the Tabernacle deck I'm building. Don't want CoW Moses because he blocks my feasts, but I want him in there because Aaron+Moses has been good for as long as it's existed.
-
That also opens running Eli's Sound Advice as an option.

So are you implying I use the COW Moses?? :)

Good to note, thanks!! :)
-
What about putting COW Moses in the reserve for possible use?
-
No no...he was making fun of the fact that I said "Just a FBTN Hero" when that version of Moses is probably one of the all-time leaders in winning Lost Souls over the years. :P
In a deck with Four Living Creatures and Melchizedek, you definitely want to use the version of Moses that does not negate territory class Heroes. 8)

The Solomons temple from earlier allows for double artifact?

Yes, browsed through the artifacts from the priest set. Several good choices...
-
Also, what is a good defense that works with the Teal priest offense?

They both hold a temple artifact but the RoA version does more while the Patriarchs version only holds the artifact.

There isn't really any one defense that is made for priests, but Assyrians aren't a bad choice. They can use invoking terror to take out Moses, and Asa can take out coliseum.

Okay I will overhall this to a Tabernacle and then a Solomon's Temple offense to see which one I like best. I am really wanting to utilize the ROJ priest cards, though I know they are more ROJ specific, but they allow for drawing the others. Also, does the "Ark of the Covenant" ROJ version, work in the tabernacle and Solomon's Temple? The reason I ask, is that "The Four Living Creatures" allows to draw 1, if a Heavenly Temple or Heavenly temple artifact is in play.
If the Ark of the Covenant (ROJ edition) is included in all three (Tabernacle, Solomon's, and Heavenly) then I could have it activated in Solomon's temple and still utilize "The Four Living Creatures" draw 1 ability. Am I correct in this?

Thanks! Also, just realized Ezekiel is a "priest", ssssooo...okay this could get interesting in what I want to do with this... ;D And when I get my hands on the newer 2015 Glory of the Lord, and the new Nats Tabernacle....oh the joy!!!!

Also, what is a good defense that works with the Teal priest offense?
I kinda like demons, although the main synergy is Bronze Laver + Gates of Hell - a temple artifact that lets you underdeck evil cards and draw the same number, and a fort today grabs demons from the bottom of deck. It basically gives free draws, and a temple means you still have an artifact slot.

Woe!! I never thought of that! Also, just wanted to make sure I am understanding Solomon's temple properly...it can hold one active Temple artifact, and I can still have another artifact active in my pile? Or am I missing something? Sorry if this is old news to people, to me this is really what I love about this game...its so many intricacies and ways of possibly playing even just a single bridge like Teal.. :)

yep, that's exactly how it works!

Awesome, thanks!

For the Solomon's Temple version, you'll want brown with some Kings of Judah on defense to take advantage of defensive discard insteading.

Updated the initial offense list.
