Title: 63 Card Pale Green Disease Defense needs some help
Post by: Isildur on August 07, 2010, 12:00:31 AM

Well ive been messing around with one of these defenses to try and fit it in a 63 card deck and here is what I came up with...

So far it seems to work but im still having problems against Teal Tomb kinda decks. Any advice is welcome except I cannot make this defense any bigger without using a speed offense which is something I would like to avoid.


Pale Green EC's = 12
King Tiggy
Women as Snares
Assyrian Archer
King Sennacherib (9/7 first strike)
King Sargon (8/11 search for camp)
Frog Demons (8/8 immune to purple)
Panic Demon
Potw
Messenger
Rabsaris
Tart.
1/1 King

Pale Green Enhans = 13
Forgotten History
Achans Sin
2k Ponies
DOU
Darkness
Palsy
Confusion
Infectious Disease
Fear of Danger
Judahs Sin
All Hope is Lost
Disuading Speech
Rabshakeh Attack

Defense Forts/ Defense Arts = 3
Assyrian Camp
Unknown Nation
Ash Pole

Evil Doms = 3
Falling Away
CM
Destruction

If it makes you feel better everyone has problems with teal-tomb type decks.

Well it doesn't help that that offense is rubbish ;)

If you want to fare better against Teal/Tomb (or just Teal), cut a little bit of the gimick (in T1 you won't be able to paralyze enough quickly enough for it to make much of a difference) and shore up your defense with Demons. If you want to keep PG, use Magicians instead of Assyrians (Assyrians aren't good). Frog Demons is basically poo, since a Negatable immunity to Purple is like a lock with the combination written on the back.

Of course, some of the problem is that your offense is poo. This defense is actually pretty good (stalled me for a long time), but if your offense is inept, it won't last forever and will eventually crumble.

The Rabshakeh is one of the better assyrians.

Polarius by Demons do you mean Orange Demons or Demons in General? Also how many Magicians should I use?

Probably orange, 2 Demons can use pale green enhancements.
I would suggest you use half and half of Orange and Pale green, and for magicians use Enchanter, Users of Curious Arts, Damsel.
And the two demons who can use Pale green are Crippling Demon and Deceiving Spirit.
