Any lock deck defenses out there?

Wanting to build a lock deck defense for a type 1 game but do not have any idea where to start?

 Are there any lock out decks made and posted on this forum?

Is it possible to make a lock deck with Heretics?


any thoughts or ideas?

Any defense brigade is fine.   

Any complete lock out decks

Maybe cards that constantly protect Lost souls from being rescued or under decked , shuffled etc 

A type 1 heretics deck would be neat.

Your problem is going to be the fact that most all competitive T1 decks contain at least two cards that generate lost souls.

Although this is true, almost all of these soul gen cards are defensive (A-Slave, Assyrian Survivor, Pharoah's Cupbearer, Dungeon of Malchiah, etc.).  So as long as your offense never allows your opponent to block (pre-block ignore or choose-the-blocker), then you should be able to mitigate almost all that soul-gen.

This is not true, Call, Fishers, Hopper, and Water Jar are all commonly used soul gen cards that have no requirement for defense to be played.

A combo that can be a lot of fun and lead to a lock-out is the use of the exchanger lost soul and other cards that can exchange souls (such as the evil character Nebushasban) combined with the site Hormah and other cards that shuffle only your land of bondage (such as Death of Unrighteous).  I built a fun Assyrian/Babylonian deck that used this combination to continually exchange lost souls as long as I could, then shuffle my land of bondage.  This way, my lost souls are in my opponent's land of bondage, and my opponent's lost souls are shuffled back into his deck.  This way, I both generate lost souls and create soul drought for my opponent.  It's a very fun deck that I enjoy using.  Combined with burial, you only need to use your exchanger and Nebushasban once each to make sure only 4 of your souls can possibly be in your land of bondage.  This also takes care of many of the methods used to generate lost souls that do not rely on defense, such as call, water jar, and fishers.  Hopper is the only one you really have to worry about, as well as the evil cards that can create lost souls.  However, Assyrians and Babylonians have characters that allow you to take care of captured characters, such as King Asnapper who lets you transfer a captured character to your opponents land of bondage or Babylonian Soldiers who lets you remove a captured character from the game.  I realize this isn't heretics, but it is a way to create a lock-out, more specifically, a soul drought lock-out.
