Something like "Falling of the Mighty"

2 Samuel 1:27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

I would say evil gold, and give it an instead ability. Seems a bit too powerful (especially late game). For instance: may remove their own discard pile from the game instead.

I woul actually love that ability :D your people all die, or you lose recusion.

I like it.  It works best against the dominant meta, and helps black out.  It should be black, as the ones who caused the "falling of the mighty" were the Philistines.

@Blonde: There's no reason for it to be Gold.  Given the amount of things we have to get around discarding, it's not *that* powerful.

perhaps, i just feel that philistines already have plenty of stuff. Maybe try to give it to a color that doesnt have many interrupts or discard abilities. Spread the love, you know?

Phillies work with the verse I mentioned, and the current meta is what happens when you give every brigade everything.  There should be diversity in brigades.

Alright, lets see... give one or two brigades all the good cards, and then the other ones just crappy ones, to keep it fresh, right?

I disagree. Egyptians got new cards this year & Phillys got a lot of awesome Red stuff to deal with.

Yet, Egyptians still are not a very good defense. They are pretty good, tournament worthy, but not quite Tier 1 yet. Philistines are.

Egyptians are fast, which makes them top tier.  Phillies used to be good, but got wrecked in the new set.

Myself and many others disagree. Even though egyptians got some pretty useful cards, they still arent beef enough to win Nats tourneys yet.

An Egyptians defense finished in the top 10 last nats. It was at the top table multiple times I believe.

Did it place?

Did it start at the top table?

Variables.

Did it start at the top table?This doesn't matter at all.  First round is random, and it all straightens out after 10 rounds.

Variables.
@ Sauce: who was running it?

Isabelle Reuter. She should have won, but RDT lied to me.

Yup.  That brings up a moral issue.  It seems that despite the starter decks coming with four options for defense, the new players always go Egyptian.
