Post by: stefferweffer on June 10, 2010, 11:32:24 AM

2 good dominants -

Son of God
Angel of the Lord

2 evil dominants -

Christian Martyr
Burial

2 fortresses -

pharaoh's throne room
wall of protection

7 artifacts -

holy grail
hidden treasures
holy of holies
unholy writ
three nails
samaritan water jar
darius' decree

2 curses -

unknown nation
given over to egypt

9 heroes -

gabriel (warriors)
jepthah
the woman at the well
amasai the raider
angel of the harvest
joel
nahum
micah
spy

8 hero enhancements -

wickedness removed
warrior's spear
two bears
david's music
plague of flies
visions
abel's sacrifice
spiritual warfare

8 evil characters -

sadduccees
the amalekite slave

I really appreciate the fact that you aren't using many dominants. I think the number of dominants should be limited soon, because there are so many that are appearing in almost EVERY deck. I admire how you only used 4.
Looks fun, tell me if you ever win with it.   :laugh:

If I make this it will be my 16th (and final) real life deck for our playgroup to use.  In all those decks, none of them have Harvest Time, New Jerusalem Promo, Grapes, Guardian of Your Souls, or Falling Away.  My Windows of Narrow Light deck has Glory of the Lord for obvious reasons.  My Abom deck has my Mayhem in it for obvious reasons.  And a couple have DON because of how certain artifacts could ruin the entire offense and/or defense.  Other than that we just use the four basics.

Basically in this deck I wanted to do all those things that frustrate opponents, even if you don't end up winning :)

If you can squeeze it in, Spy could make Warrior's Spear that much more fun :) I Am Patience could make Spy that much more fun :)

Also, The Lord Fights For You is a fun card that would fit your "theme"...  Unfortunately it would destroy your own defense :D

I thought it was ruled that Spy + Warrior's spear did not work?  (In that it did not allow him to do all three - discard enhancement, look at hand, and then withdraw)  Am I wrong?

I think it used to not work but was recently ruled to work, and it's very cool in d/c decks. :)

In that case I am definitely adding Spy then.  Thanks guys!

I would find a gold E. enh to make the hero fight a larger hero and with Darius' Decree they can't play enhancements because there is no evil C. in battle
