Could a Angel Wars deck be a good deck
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Tyler S on September 07, 2006, 03:06:23 PM
As in an all angels offense, yes...in type 2 ;)
But in type 1 yeah it could work but I'd splash it with some other color.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on September 07, 2006, 03:11:29 PM
Possibly Obsidian/Panic Demon defense?
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on September 07, 2006, 04:59:47 PM
How about doing angels and one other color but what would be a good defense.

Evil Banding

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on September 07, 2006, 05:13:17 PM
Obsidian Minions in AW can band together without being prevented.  So can the Panic Demons.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on September 07, 2006, 05:16:37 PM
With Obsidian Minions  can you band more then one.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on September 07, 2006, 05:31:47 PM
Right-o
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on September 07, 2006, 05:34:22 PM
Right-o

What does that mean.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on September 07, 2006, 05:34:53 PM
It means that you are correct, more than one Obsidian Minion can band.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on September 07, 2006, 05:42:29 PM
Is there other good evil banding.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on September 07, 2006, 05:52:57 PM
Not if you're limiting it to Angel Wars, but if you're not, then a Saph, Ishbibenob, Lahmi, Fallen Warrior chain is good, or demon banding with Fallen Angel.

Multiplayer! No really play someone that knows the game farily well and have a run threw with the othes all watching. Then start playing them.

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on September 11, 2006, 01:57:23 PM
A curse is like a covenant, except it's evil.  You play it as either an Evil Enhancement or an Artifact.  The curse card's icon is a snake.

Is Guardian of your Souls a good enough card to put in a deck.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on September 12, 2006, 12:52:35 PM
depends. In MULTI most defenatly. But in two player its users prefrence.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block

why so important in MULTI but not One on one.

1 on 1 not 2 on 2. Because if you have 4 people at a game thats 3 (4 if you use it on yourself) falling aways that can hit you not just 1

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Minister Polarius on September 12, 2006, 05:18:31 PM
In a 2 player game it's a matter of whether you get your GoyS before they get their FA, a 50% chance of having a useless card. In multiplayer, you have to get your GoyS before 3 people get their FA, so it's only a 13% chance of being a useless card.

Post by: toad92 on September 12, 2006, 05:52:52 PM
That makes more sense thanks.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on September 12, 2006, 11:14:10 PM
Back to macking a deck. If I use silver as a color on offense what would be a good second color.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on September 12, 2006, 11:55:39 PM
Blue is good because of Jacob.  But I'd just look at what brigade I had the most/best of and pair that with your silver.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Minister Polarius on September 13, 2006, 12:14:16 AM
You could also do White because of Angel in the Path, Green because of Seraphim, Purple because of Cheribim, or Gold because of Simeon. However, Blue is probably the best choice since it has Jacob and Silver has Seraphim.

If you have some good blue cards, go for it.

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on September 13, 2006, 10:10:32 AM
I wouldn't rely on AW for a good offense, it doesn't have much.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on September 13, 2006, 10:11:49 AM
How about Kings.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on September 13, 2006, 10:12:52 AM
In Kings there's some goos Fight by the Numbers Heroes and a few good good enhancements, that's prob. way better than AW.

Priests is good if you want a teal offense.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on September 13, 2006, 01:49:16 PM
Preist gives green a boost and green/white using kings forward would probly do very well.

How many heroes should I have in my deck.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: MichaelHue on September 18, 2006, 10:36:07 AM
In a 56-card deck (with a single-color offense) I like to use at least 7.  For 63 cards, 8.  For 70 cards, 9, etc.  If my deck is leaning more towards offense than defense, I sometimes do 8 or 9 heroes in a 56-card deck.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on September 18, 2006, 02:10:16 PM
Is a single or a double colored offense better.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on September 18, 2006, 02:20:26 PM
Depends some colors work well together some dont. I use both. Single=No brigade mismatch but some more obvious weakneses. Dual= Chance of brigade mismatch but stronger (not always). Depends on the stratagy you are playing.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on September 18, 2006, 02:43:16 PM
Man! making a deck is  so hard. what two colors would go good together and what color would be the best going solo.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: MichaelHue on September 18, 2006, 02:50:53 PM
Um...any of them.  It depends on what cards you have.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on September 18, 2006, 03:07:18 PM
Green for solo (imho) and blue/white for dual.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: MichaelHue on September 18, 2006, 04:46:35 PM
I would actually say that Purple/White would be better than Blue/White...but I do agree that Green is awesome on it's own.  It can also go really well with Silver.

I'd suggest buying some packs (probably Patriarchs and Kings mostly to get started) and build off of what you get then.  Start with one of your starter decks, and switch new cards in as you get them.

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: theraven878 on September 20, 2006, 11:50:57 PM

Raven, you passed a Leviathan in BD because, quote: "I didn't see it". GL drafting anything good next tournie, especially since I will ask Jason to strictly enforce the time limit for selecting cards so that everyone doesn't sit around all day gawking at the new cards.

I don't know why everyone thinks it's so hard to win with Preists out...I actually think it's easier, and I don't use all that many Priests cards in one of my decks. ;)  My advice to get packs is either get money and buy them (it sounds like this isn't an option for you at the moment, which is fine.  It's the same for me) or try to go to as many tournaments as you can and win as much as possible, and trade a lot.  If you're trying to find out which cards might be good in your deck, there are some Priests card lists available, Cletus T_TRP made a couple a while back.

Why don't you try it? Ask youself: what are the benefits? What are the drawbacks? After playing a few games with it, you should know. Deckbuilding takes experience. Don't do what Raven did (no offense man).

nobody really gets mad... but it is better if you think and create a deck yourself. There are alot of cards out there so you can take one type of deck ...like battle by the numbers and have tons of different variations... they all have the same idea which is ok...but using the exact same cards is looked down upon just because you are copying someone else. I look at others decks for inspiration and deck ideas... but never for the same deck

Heroless is a deck with no heroes in it.  I wouldn't recommend it if you don't feel comfortable with  advanced gameplay.  Actually, I wouldn't reccomend it for anyone at all, but that's just me.

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: MichaelHue on September 29, 2006, 07:27:18 AM
I would say don't go without either Evil Characters or Heroes.  Use at least 7 of each (of one brigade for offense, and one brigade for defense) and at least 7 enhancements each for Good and Evil.  Use as many dominants as you have  (minus Doubt if you're not playing Orange and Glory of the Lord if you're not using Solomon's Temple).

56 cards
7 lost souls
8 Dominants
3 access sites
2 fortresses
4 artifacts
8 heroes
8 good enhancements
8 evil characters
8 evil enhancements

If you don't have 8 Dominants (Angel of the Lord, Guardian of your Souls or Harvest Time, New Jerusalem, Son of God, Burial, Christian Martyr, Destruction of Nehushtan, and Falling Away), take them out for some single color sites.  If you don't have that many access sites, use at least 2 red sites for your single colors, and perhaps 1 white site, and a green or blue one as well.  You can post what you come up with on the board, and people will give you suggestions.

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on October 02, 2006, 04:21:17 PM
Goys is not useless, and you get FA from women's packs, although it would be a lot easier just to buy one from someone on the boards, because it's pretty cheap.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on October 02, 2006, 04:21:35 PM
goys-Acronym for Guardian of Your Souls. It's a dominant (Lamb Icon) that you place in your Land of Redemption, and after you do that, no opponent can use Falling Away on your Redeemed Souls.

fa-Falling Away. It's an evil dominant that you can use to take one of your opponent's Redeemed Souls, provided he/she doesn't have Guardian of Your Souls in his/her Land of Redemption.

Guardian of Your Souls is used in any competitive deck, and Falling Away is used in most, but not all, since some people don't use it because there is a chance that their opponent will get his/her Guardian out first, making Falling Away a wasted card. Still, the chance of taking away a redeemeed soul from your opponent is enough to make most people use Falling Away.

Guardian of Your Souls is found in Apostles (gray) packs, and Falling Away is found in Women (pink) packs. Women are out of print, and may be hard to find, but you can still get them at stores that may have some left, or from people on the boards who may have packs available. Otherwise, once you get some nice trading cards, you could trade for either or both cards.

Thanks! What is the Chance that you can get them in a pack?
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: mnpaladin on October 02, 2006, 04:28:59 PM
Well all of the cards in the Womens packs are common, so it's not rare or anything.  Still, I think it would be way cheaper to buy or trade for it than to try to get it in a pack.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on October 02, 2006, 04:33:40 PM
Yeah, mnpaladin's probably got a point. But if you were thinking about buying packs to enhance your collection, and if you can get your hands on some Women packs, I would suggest doing that.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on October 02, 2006, 04:35:49 PM
I'm going to buy some Woman any way. How about  Apostles I need to buy some of them to?

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on October 02, 2006, 04:40:45 PM
Apostles are generally pretty good. You have the highest chance of getting Ultrarares in Apostles, but many of the rares and ultras you might get aren't the best quality. Definitely buy some, as some of the Ultrarares are arguably the best in the game (Guardian, Wall of Protection, Unholy Writ), but don't be surprised if you end up getting some rares that aren't so good.

Not true at all. I almost never use it and I won 3rd at the biggest Nationals ever.

But by the same token, if you use GoyS, there is a chance your opponent will get FA first making GoyS a wasted card.

I don't like GoyS, it's hard to get, expensive, so I don't reccomend a new player worry that much about getting one.

Not that Lampstand is any easier to grab, being an ultra-rare from a brand new (and significantly larger than Apostles) expansion, but if you're that concerned about guarding against Falling Away, this might be a better option: it's easier to pull due to the numerous search cards that target it (including three new Heroes), and it can protect you from more cards than Guardian does.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: MichaelHue on October 02, 2006, 07:58:58 PM
The downside to that is that it protects your opponent to.  However, with a bit of planning, this isn't a problem at all, although it can be a problem for your opponent.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: The Schaef on October 02, 2006, 08:07:37 PM
This is true.  For this to be effective, you have to be ready to win without relying on your own evil Dominants.  The upside is, if you are prepared for that, and your opponent is not, then you have the advantage.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on October 02, 2006, 08:27:02 PM
Well, I guess I spoke only from experience, so sorry for my ignorance. My philosophy (and the philosphy of most of those I know) is that Guardian is a necessity because without it, you will almost undoubtedly have to rescue six ls's, whereas if you do have it, there's a fair chance that you won't. With falling away, you may or may not force your opponent to rescue 6, and depending on your strategy, the likelihood is variable. Using Lampstand as a substitute for Guardian in a deck I would oppose, as in order activate any other artifact you have to have a temple/tabernacle as well, so depending on the deck's strategy, it may or may not be efficient. Personally, I have never built a competitive deck (since Apostles at least, obviously) without either one, but I would say that Falling Away is more optional than Guardian.

I would say you should at least try, because unless you have a streamlined, strategic deck, which will be hard to do until you have played for awhile and have accumulated a large collection, then Guardian and Falling Away both would be better than most other cards you would put in their places.

I was merely copying what the card says (i.e. I copied the special ability from a list on my computer and pasted it onto the post), and I hardly appreciate your snide commentary. Such a fact may not be completely obvious to everyone, since Egyptian royal figures are sometimes noted as Pharaohs and sometimes as Egyptian kings.

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on October 09, 2006, 04:39:21 PM
"Egyptian Kings" is not one card; there are several cards that fall into the category "Egyptian Kings".

Pharoah can be found in the Unlimited (blue) packs, the second edition starter set (no longer sold), or the 10th Anniversary edition starter set (H deck). The best one is the last one; he is 9/10 and WC, none have special abilities, and the first two are 6/6 and 6/7 respectively, non-WC.

King Shishak is 8/7 WC from the Kings. His ability reads: "Jerusalem Tower has no effect this turn.  If block is successful, discard the top card from any draw pile."

King So is 9/7 WC from the Kings. His ability reads:"Egyptian Evil Characters have first strike ability. This ability cannot be negated if holder has Egypt Site in play."

Pharoah Neco is 7/8 WC from Kings. His ability reads: "Discard King Josiah.  Capture King Jehoahaz
"

Pharoah Hophra is 8/11 WC from Priests. His ability reads: "Return a Babylonian in play to the top of owner's draw pile. May band to King Zedekiah"

I'm pretty sure those are all of the Egyptian Kings/Pharaohs currently in the game.

Post by: Professoralstad on October 10, 2006, 01:58:52 PM
The Tyler referred to is Tyler S on the boards, who often emphasizes that his preferred form of gameplay is type 2. I'm sure that he is just as capable of building a good type 1 deck, but I'm also sure that many others could help as well. What you really should do is do as mnpaladin suggested and download the card list from www.covenantgames.com (http://www.covenantgames.com). Then you would be able to see which cards from which colors would be good in your deck, and also where they come from. The spreadsheet is a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet, and it allows you to organize cards by type, set, brigade, stats, type of special ability, etc., and it is very handy to use. It also tells you the prices of the cards that you would have to pay if you ordered them from Chris Bany (the proprietor of Covenant Games). Sometimes his prices are better than others, sometimes not. But before you buy any cards from anyone, you should look to see which cards you might use, and how to get them.

The offer for the Factory Set is described here: http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=66

However, in the Factory set you only get four Special Ability Lost Souls: The Lost Souls card, The "Shuffler" Lost Soul (shuffles all Lost Souls in play into Owner's draw piles when rescued), the "Site Doubler" Lost Soul (allows you to put it into a Site that already has a Lost Soul in it) and the "Female" Lost Soul (may only be rescued by a female hero or the Son of God). All of these but the first one you can get in Kings packs (for shuffler and site doubler) or the 10th Anniversary starter set (female), so getting a Factory Set isn't necessary for getting Lost Souls. If Special Ability Lost Souls are what you want, then Angel Wars has some good ones (the best four are rares though, so they may be harder to get) and Priests has some good ones that are all uncommon. If you haven't downloaded the Covenant Games spreadsheet yet, then you should do that, and it will tell you all the different Lost Souls with Special Abilities, where to find them, and their rarity.

Priests are good, but they require a knowledge of the fundamentals of the game before they can be strategically useful. Having a person new at Redemption start out buying Priests is akin to having first-year Algebra students start out with vector calculus. Okay, so maybe Priests aren't that confusing, (neither is vector calculus IMO)  ;) but starting with the basics is generally a better idea. So your suggestion for 3 Women and 1 of each of the other three is good, I'd go with that. You can get Priests, but as I said they are harder for newer players to adapt to right away.

I'm going to add Swift to an angel deck should i take out Destroying Angel  or Servant  Angel
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on October 19, 2006, 04:52:06 PM
Destroying Angel isn't that great. The only Genesis site that sees more play than a usual site is Sodom, because of Bera, King of Sodom, but even then you won't play a whole lot of people who incorporate that strategy. If you are going to put in Swift, I would say take out Destroying Angel.

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on October 20, 2006, 01:16:42 PM
WC can be good, depending on your deck. Some of the better (more widely used) WC combos are:

The Rabshakeh and Two Thousand Horses (Or several Absalom's Soldiers all with Two Thousand Horses in Type II)
Captain of the Host and Captain's Sword
Michael and Angel's Sword
King Sennacherib is best and Glittering Spear
David and David's Sling
Abner and Abner's Spear
Phinehas Son of Eleazar and Phinehas' Spear
Blue Hero and Coat of Mail

There are certainly others, but these are the most common ones that I've seen. Don't use too many WC enhancements in a deck, because few of them are battle winners, but using them does sometimes increase your chances of your battle winners being effective.


Title: Re: The New Kids on the block

so that is a yes
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on October 20, 2006, 01:51:07 PM
No, it's a definite maybe. Only if they work for your deck colors/strategy. For instance, Crimson, Black and evil Gold don't have any great WC combos, and neither do Purple or good Gold. (At least none that I can think of right now). So if your decks are those colors then no, but if you use some other colors it may be a good idea.

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on October 20, 2006, 04:12:47 PM
Silver has some good combos (Michael + Angel's Sword or Michael's Sword, Captain of the Host and Captain's Sword) but evil Gold (the color of all the Egyptian evil characters) doesn't have any WC enahncements that are terribly useful, except for Lahmi's Spear, which can be if you use Lahmi (not an Egyptian).

3/2 Silver WC enhancement: "If blocked by a human, hero may play the first enhancement" Meaning that even if opponent blocks your Michael + Angel's Sword with a 1/1 guy, you get to play the first enhancement if you want. Very helpful since Mike's enhancements can't be negated.

You can do whatever you like, the freedom to build decks how you choose is yours, as long as they are legal when you use them in tournaments. As far as whether or not you should, it could work well, but unless you have other silver/purple to add in you might as well stay with purple/white.

Post by: Professoralstad on November 30, 2006, 07:33:05 PM
Type II decks are generally considered better for more advanced players who have the capability to collect multiples of many cards and who can think of strategies beyond what is possible in T1 (which has more limitations in deck building as far as what cards are allowed). T2 decks can range from having five AoC promos (The Guardian at one point had I think three such decks) to having several common battle winners that work together to for a good strategy. There are some strategies for T2 in many of the threads on this forum, or you can talk to someone who plays T2 extesnively (I personally don't because I like trying to make T1 more strategic in various ways, and I don't have a lot of multiples of cards that would be good for T2 strategies).

he was the nicest most merciful sith anyone could meet and if i was still rping he'd have control of his temper and he'd only be a threat to the sith only.he had control on when he was to transform

The original Defenseless deck of the Quadrate was Silver and Purple. So the combination of those two colors started a whole T1 archetype. Not to mention it won him several tournies, including MN State '02.

If you're want'n to keep the white/purple I wouldn't, but if you're looking at ways to make the deck the best it can be, You could throw that in and add in Moses for another twist(fbtn).

AW
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on January 25, 2007, 10:18:05 AM
How many packs of aw do you have to buy to get for i.e. if I bot 1o packs would I get 1 2 or 3 or if I bot 20 packs would I get 1 2 or 3 Micheals.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on January 25, 2007, 10:33:42 AM
Maybe none, maybe one, maybe ten, maybe twenty (unlikely). Probability says that out of 10 packs you'll get .111 Michaels, and out of twenty you'd get .222 Michaels, because of the probability distribution of UR's.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on January 25, 2007, 11:21:37 AM
??? ??? What ??? ???
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Daniel TS RED on January 25, 2007, 12:13:33 PM
Basically, You have roughly(so it's easier) 1 ultra rare in every 10 packs you buy.  There are a total of 10 ultra rares in the AW set.  So it would take 100 packs to "guarentee" you get mike.  If you buy only 10 packs, you have about a 10% chance of getting an AW mike, which isn't a very good chance.  As you go up 10 packs, you go up 10%.  So for 20 packs = 20% chance, 30 packs = 30% chance.  Hope that helps.

Daniel

 ;D

P.S.  Instead of buying $30 in packs and not getting the card you want, You could buy the AW mike for about $15-$20 and then spend the other $5-$10 on AW packs and maybe getting lucky and getting another one ;)

Title: Re: The New Kids on the block

Thanks Daniel that makes more sense.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Professoralstad on January 25, 2007, 05:24:07 PM
Daniel is right for practicality reasons, (which is helpful) but in my defense, my probabilities were more exact (the probability of getting an UR is actually 1/9, which is about .111) Since there are 10 URs, the probability of getting a specific one (Michael) is 1/90. So buying ninety packs would almost certainly, but not definitely, get you a Michael. You can get two or three Michael's in ten packs, but it isn't very likely. I did once get a Glory of the Lord in two of the packs I had for Sealed deck, and in the  9 packs i got for taking second, I got another one. So it is possible to get three of the same UR in relatively few packs, but as I said, it's not likely.

So in essence you should take Daniel's advice and order a Michael, or at least try to trade for one, if you want one. Buying packs is fun, but it's not the best way to get specific cards.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block

to get better in the game you(the beginner or rookie) have to play more games,ask for advice and to get better also has to do with what deck combo you use,how you shuffle your cards and depends on the draw but it mostly depends on your strategy.
but for deck tweaking ask the pros cause i'm at the average level atm and i'm slowly getting better with every game

Post by: Daniel TS RED on May 15, 2007, 04:17:28 PM
one of the easiest defenses...if you have the right cards is a brown defense.  One of the funniest is orange, but it's harder to play.  In deck design, I made up a couple default stand alone defenses that you can look over.  You'll want to pick one that you have most of the "best" cards from.

Yoda,

I will tell you now....don't think no one is doing type 2...get some experience with a year or so in type 1 and get to know the game inside and out...type 2 is VERY expensive for a decent deck for a new player and it will not be worth it to you in the long run...But that is just my advice...see you in franklin in less than 24 hours....You would do better to play closed deck and to get more duplicate cards to build your collection...

I would say jump right into t2.  It's a little more complex then t1 I agree, but it's not like night and day, it's still redemption.  If you're want'n to try it out Yoda, go for it.  It's the only way you learn is to play the games.  Even if you don't have all the super duper cards for t2, it's no biggy.

i'm pretty sure he was mean'n gals on that post.  If those are the only cards you have for a brown defense, I wouldn't use brown.  The "good" Black/Crimson cards found in the G/H starter would be a better base defense to use.  Maybe try a sitelockout with those or pick a different color.  Brown is tough, but I don't think you have the ECs for it.

at the bigginning of this topic (I didn't bother to read it all, I mean 40 PAGES!!!!) they were talking about banding. I see how banding is good in its way, but couldn't one instant win take out all the evil/good characters banded into battle. I mean isn't it better to have a deck built off mostly instant wins.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on July 06, 2007, 08:33:24 PM
By instant if you mean battle winner? yes. If you mean Dominant (lamb/reaper) Nope. And also no. Some ecs are immune to instant wins and single heros

Post by: The Roc_1217 on July 11, 2007, 09:15:13 PM
Not all cards target all cards in battle. Banding not only gives you higher numbers, but also makes it so your opponent has to take out more targets.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: sepjazzwarrior on July 12, 2007, 12:51:28 AM
I think what he's talking about is cards like deluge of rain and joseph in prison.  I used to have the same feelings about banding.  If you stick all your heroes in battle at once and they play a card like that they would all be gone and youd be in big trouble.  That's why any more I usually stick to fight by the number banding and watch out for simon and ashera pole.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Daniel TS RED on July 12, 2007, 01:51:47 AM

How competetive is banding?  If that's what you're asking, then banding isn't much competetive anymore, BUT(Before someone "M.U.L.P. -100!" me...) if you throw in alot of BTN, then we may be getting to something.  Like this:  Maharia->Tribal Elders->Jacob->Angel in the Path+Angels Sword(Name-on-name on angel in the path, so he's 11/9) And if you're blocked by a human, play Three Angels to bring in CoTH and Gabe!  or if you already used Three Angels, use Courage for just CoTH(Or Moses or Ira), and when that's done, we can use blessings.  Now were in business...

THats what I do.

My bad I typed wings I meant wind
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: jesusconverse on September 14, 2007, 12:49:13 PM
So a good idea would be to kind of mix the BBTN and Banding, and she if she can kick me around the block with it? Great, just great. Teach her how to play, and two minutes later, it is six to zero, her favor.

;)

I will see what I can do.

i have 2 pieces of advise for all you new players out there keep your decks under 63 card unless you have a great strategy and please don't make speed decks they make the game so boring
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: toad92 on September 21, 2007, 08:13:29 PM
Why is speed boring?
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Prof Underwood on September 21, 2007, 11:35:08 PM
Some would say that Speed is boring because most speed decks are virtually identical and in T1-multi player there are so many that it becomes monotonous.  How many times in a row do you want to see X band to Y band to Z band to ET, followed by 4 enhancements that all draw 3 and play next, followed by SoG / NJ, followed by game over.

However there is now hope.  MASK has arrived and will be shutting down speed at Nats '08.  New applications are coming in all the time, and by the time next summer gets here, there should only be a few die hard speed lovers still playing that strategy.  Variety of decks will increase and the T1 multi-player event will be saved.

Of course I may be a bit biased :)

That's because of 2 reasons.

#1 Speed is just coming to the playgroups in OH.  Brian Reid was the only player with a speed deck last year, and so it is still new and interesting here.  And you just got beat by it for the first time.

#2  You weren't at Nats this summer where half the people were playing the same deck, and you were getting beat over and over and over by the same thing.

I've played site lockout with varying degrees of success. Most of the time I've found that by the time you can get somebody locked  out, they have 3-4 lost souls already. I think that if you spend your time trying to successfully block a few times, and boosting your offense you have a better chance of winning.

It is priceless to steal somebody's access site and see the "oh crap" look on their face.

What is the best deck to use, when you first start playing?  G-H?  E-F?  Or should I try to build my own? - I actually think I should do that later on, once I'm more experienced.

I have the first sets of FooF cards that I could play with. (I bought 1 & 2 cards only sets and then I bought 1-7 tins.)  I should get a G/H starter for playing then.

Thank you for the advice!

however, in type 2 there must be the same number of good cards(forts, heros, enhancements, lambs) as evil cards(EC, Forts, enhancements, reapers).  Lost soul sites and lost souls and artifacts are neutral and do not count for the good/evil.

Not quite correct.  In T1, you are allowed to have 1 card per 50 with special abilities.  So, if you decided to go with 100+ cards, you could have 2 King of Tyrus in your deck.
In T2, you are allowed to have up to 5 of the same Character and enchancment in a deck, and up to 3 of the same artifact, fortress, and covenants.

It depends. some people like 1 main deck for all T1 catagories others seperate. your choice. i go with 1 deck, so it takes more focus, but you have more time just for it, than 2 decks with less focus, and less time per deck..

Im working on a Red/gray deck based off of cards in the IX set of FooF.

Some signifigant cards are

Joab (promo)
Emperor Nero (promo)
Self (promo)
Emperor Augustus (promo)
Chariot of Fire (promo)
Ark of the covenant (promo)

All of the IX set cards are in the deck except Nahari and I would like to know any advantages to him.

I am also on a low budget.

P.S I dont have much experience so the lack of abbrviations would be appreciated.

Post by: New Raven BR on September 09, 2009, 02:27:41 PM
i fail to see why most of these replies are on this thread.
but to new players here's my top 5 list of advice to new players:

1. don't ignore Advice given and ask for decklists cause that's what doesn't make you a good player or deck builder

2. don't build a deck til you get the game by playing starter decks

3. when the time comes to build a deck, use 1(one) offense(good brigades) and 1(one) defense (evil brigades) and i suggest using blue and evil gold for your 2 first brigades for a deck

4. play more experianced players and play them again and again so they'll understand what you can do to improve your deck and spot mistakes you'd made

and this is the longest one

5. have fun, if you lose it's not the end of the world(unlike some people like me) if you get angry cause your losing and are getting over excited over leading the game i advise you to relax, stay calm, keep control of yourself, if you lose and get angry, don't take your anger on your opponent or just all of a sudden go all negative and beat yourself up by putting yourself down, that's lucifer whispering in your ear. but bottom line is this game is for fun and fellowship and all i have to say is watch your opponent if their like justin alstad or gabe isbell, or even RR, or Lamb or Pol, cause, chances are you'll learn card playing or in lamb's case "Combos", you never knew existed.
Title: Re: The New Kids on the block
Post by: Bobbobowitz on September 09, 2009, 07:41:32 PM
I have played with most of the starters (E, F, H, G) I started this deck after i got the IX FooF tin and built up alot of cards from there its a pretty solid deck and I'll post a list tomorrow. By not that experienced I mean I just dont know every commonly used card and term out there. The reason I use Red and Gray is because those are my best colors not only because I traded for alot of cards that help them but they just seem to be my more common draw from boosters.

you might want to consider throwing in dream and nebby's pride. those are two crimson enhancements I have thrown inmy magicians decks to help with initiative. Also, an offense that is awesome with magicians is NT white women with susanna being the mvp. With susanna and divination, Astrologers becomes really awesome because you will be able to stack your deck. Astrologers is awesome or are awesome, but since I am referring to a single card and not a group of astrologers, is awesome.

I agree. Magicians are mostly good for stalling, getting through your deck faster, and for support with demons. If you want to go for a larger defense, you should try Brown (Kings of Judah with a splash of Persians and a few of the miscellaneous characters that Brown excels in like Gomer and Uzzah) or perhaps Black (Philistines and Sadducees).

It's either you add King Mannasah, or you ment Gates of Hell.

im very sorry for necroposting but I have a good reason to.

considerable deck strategies:

offensive: TGT, judges, maybe prophets, and possibly ruth

defense: romans, demons, philistines. but my favorite defense will always be the sadducees even though they're not as strong as they once were., but are still fun to play! :)

Are these articles anywhere now? The links are now old and broken...much like myself.
