Hey all. So this is my first attempt at creating a deck designed to discard opponents deck/hand. I have already spoken to Minister P. who gave me some sound advice that you can either build a deck to discard from their deck or hand.....but not both or you will do neither well. Good advice. I wanted to throw it out to the community to get some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and ideas. Please keep in mind, that I have been playing Redemption since before it was created..(not really...maybe three weeks). So when you are explaining tricks and cards, please use laymen terms or i may not understand. Thanks all

This deck is really spread out... I'm not sure how well it will do because you only have 2 sites that can lock out your opponent, the defense is spread and the offense isn't very strong.
My suggestions would be to take out the sites or add some more and make a full on site lock.

For defense def use egyptians. They are a beast with that. then play burning up a chaff to remove all of the but lost souls from the game. Sweet!!!

Those egyptians sure do like discard ;)

I pair it with prophets and hidden treasure. Great combo.

To all,
I have since talked with several individuals about this idea. I know many, many people already play a Genesis-Roman deck, so I know this is nothing new. If you have ideas I'd love to play around with them. Here is a new version of the deck after review. Special thanks to P. and BrianGabe for the help.

Good ratio. It looks really good imo. Have you tested it yet?

yeah...problem is I'm not any good!!! LOL. Seems like it's okay. Guess I just thought it would work better than it seems to be. Can't quite put my finger on it yet though

You just need to know how the deck plays. Once you find that out, then it would work better for you. When I put my decks together, I always think how could this deck play and why is it put the way it is? That always helps me to figure out how to play it and what not to do

Thanks. I think more than anything I just need to keep playing despite losing. I will learn the tricks of my deck pretty quickly i think. thanks.

This is no longer a discarder deck but it is yet one more of the many Gen./Roman decks out there but hey it is a solid deck none the less.

It is ok to lose. Trust me I lost a lot. You learn more through losing than you do winning. The key is to learn from your mistakes and fix them so you dont repeat them. One of mine was that my friend plays moses-transfig deck and he only has access w/ war officer and moses on my kir. So i save CM for war and throw the women ls in Kir. He gets locked out. I stuff pergamum and take his assyria and he can't get a soul XD

HAHA. You lost me at this point. I understand your concept of site lockout but I am unfamiliar with the specifics of the cards you mentioned. HAHA. sorry.

sorry xp. Transfiguration allows you to band in moses yellow 8/8 fight by the numbers and elijah. It cannot be ipn'd So you have two extra characters with huge numbers in a fbn ra. And you use lost coin found and moses and elders to bring it back. It is crazy. Kir is a TexP yellow site which is good against choose the blocker. I put the woman ls in there so moses doesn't have access to it.
