Title: Making Them Pure Hero Deck Without Their Consent
Post by: Ironica on April 06, 2009, 03:07:18 PM: I am making a deck for one of the players in my playgroup. He has told me what he wants and I am trying to build the best deck with the cards I have. His defense is crinsom/orange. For his offense, he wanted one brigade and the main part of his offense is conversion. Since this is the first time having the main focus on coversion, what is the best brigade to use this method with?

Post by: Ironica on April 06, 2009, 03:42:47 PM: I'll check out what gold I have.

I also forgot to mention that most if not all of the cards will be pre FOOF (due to the ones I have of FOOF and ROA are already in use).

You could go with a prophet/NT theme; I've tried something like this before and it worked well. Especially now with St. Patrick being a prophet, I think I might try this out again....

And also considering that I do not have him....

I checked out my gold and found one or two converts. I'll check out green when I have the chance (and I was going to have I Am Patient in the deck no matter what brigade I used).

Rob himself ruled Saint Patrick both as a prophet and a priest. It doesn't get any more official than that. ;)

Post by: lightningninja on April 07, 2009, 04:14:58 PM: Yeah... and then you can capture their evil characters with your babylonians. ;D

And I forgot preaching the truth and battle prayer to get one back... that's like... 7? :)

Post by: The Schaef on April 07, 2009, 04:52:24 PM: I had a conversion deck prior to the tins but the tins make gold a strong conversion color. If you don't have the Soldier/Seeker promos, that doesn't help either. But I strongly recommend mixing in Lazarus, to give you one more Hero to play converts on, and to make it easier to pull in convert cards from other brigades (red's The Empty Tomb being the big example, but also maybe the occasional green or blue card that gold can't use).

Post by: Mageduckey on April 14, 2009, 10:11:21 PM: I have a Blue/Gold/Red conversion deck, and it doesn't do too badly. It isn't as good as my Z-Temple deck, and I don't think I'd use it in a tourney (just 'cus I couldn't make it good, not 'cus it isn't a good theme). The ENTIRE deck is built around conversion - once I get RTS up, I'd like to face someone with it.
