Would your plan being seting aside hereos with evil cards? or setting aside evil characters to do cool things?

Would your plan being seting aside hereos with evil cards? or setting aside evil characters to do cool things?

My original plan was to set aside my opponent's Heroes so I could abuse things like Darius' Decree and Persian Presidents.  Another advantage is that there really isn't any protection against a set-aside defense.

I don't see any reason we couldn't incorperate using set-asides to do cool things with our own Evil Characters.  What did you have in mind?

Yeah. Also, I found that you can make a sweet deck with evil set asides, use them in battle to set aside your opponent's defense, and your offense uses set asides in battle to set aside your opponent's offense.

Is that even legal?  I was under the impression that my evil set-asides could only set aside my Evil Characters or my opponent's Heroes.

By default, your good set-aside cards target only your own Heroes, but can target Evil Characters of any player.  Likewise, your evil set-aside cards can target only your own Evil Characters, but can target Heroes of any player.

Set-aside cards may not be played on your opponent’s characters unless the set-aside card states that you may.

Add some sitelock to that strategy and it might work. Otherwise...nnnnnno, I don't think so.

I haven't really thought about doing this type of a defense before, but I feel a sitelock + setaside defense could work.

Rough version I just made:

Cards in deck: 35
Lost Souls: 7
   Lost Soul (Color Guard)
   Lost Soul (deck discard)
   Lost Soul (Female Only)
   Lost Soul (N.T. only)
   Lost Soul (shame)
   Lost Soul (Site Discard)
   Lost Soul (Wanderer)

Fortresses: 2
   High Places
   Kingdoms of the World

White Sites: 1
   Mildewed House

Red Sites: 3
   Babylon
   Lion's Den
   Lion's Den

Green Sites: 1
   Babylonian Banquet Hall

Blue Sites: 1
   Hormah

Purple Sites: 1
   Pergamum

White Covenant Cards: 2
   Plagued with Diseases (Brown)
   Wastelands (Orange)

Crimson Evil Characters: 1
   Red Dragon

Brown Evil Characters: 5
   Haman
   King Ahaz
   King Jeroboam I
   King Nadab
   Persian Presidents

Multi-Color Evil Enhancements: 2
   Demonic Blockade (orange/brown)
   Two Possessed by Demons (Orange)

Crimson Evil Enhancements: 1
   Nebuchadnezzar's Pride

Brown Evil Enhancements: 5
   Image of Jealousy
   Siege
   Taking Naboth's Vineyard
   Threatened Lives
   Weakness

It seems a sitelock version of this would ONLY work in large defenses, which is what I'm used to.
