Due to the new rules you can only have 7 dominants in this deck.
Your other option would be to add one more soul making it a 57 card, 8 soul deck.

Thats my advise having never played with a genegyptian.
-
I agree with what Nameless said, but I would like to add a few ideas of my own.
1. The dom you should take out should be Burial (unless you want to do guardian), then you can add in Pharaoh's Magicians so that you can use Charms easier (Nameless's suggestions left you with only one magician).
2. Without Burial you should switch the 3-liner with the shame lost soul (so you can target key heroes or temporarily get rid of captain for Zeb to work).
3. Take out Jacob Buries the foreign gods, and numerous as the stars for Abel and Blue Tassels (that way you have another prophet for HT and away to stop soulgen/capture.
-
unfortunately I was only working with what I have....I don't have zeb, eve, judah, or simeon. I don't have failed objective or evil spirit. the others i have and can add or switch around a bit. Since I don't have these cards what would you suggest?
-
I would consider buying Tin X That would give you Zeb, Simeon, and Reuben to add in.
You could also stand to add in Angel at Shur as the fourth suggested hero.
For the Evil enhancements I would leave in Enslaved by Egypt and add in Swift horses if you have it.
-
what about leaving in pithom and just using the put hero beneath ability instead of the discard
this would also allow you to hold unknown nation active in pithom
-
I don't have the gold version of SH. I have the crimson....:(
-
lol....i don't have unknown nation either.....I only have Given over....that's why i keep Pithom in...it's a nice discarder in my opinion....
-
Nice, but not necessary. I would cut both for more necessary cards.
-
like what?
-
it is a decent discarded but it wont help you make a block unholy nation you can discard to put another egyptian in battle if your lone blocker gets CM'd or captured or something
-
so i should take out both pithom and given over? OR just given over? I can just use pithom for the hero beneath deck ability.
-
Without hesitation I say take out both. :)
-
hmmm ok....
-
Would you mind editing your first post or posting and updated deck list so that I can see what the deck looks like after the changes you have made? So many suggestions have been made that I would really like to see what your deck looks like now. :)
-
I will try....haven't fixed the deck yet. Too busy with work and such. I actually started using a new deck last night. I played against TSE and only lost 5-4 which was the best I've done since i've been on here. You guys are soooo good it's crazy. I made a Green Prophet-Angel/Assyrian and Babs. I call it my Angelsaiahbabassyrian deck....lol. When I get time I'll post the deck. If I get time I'll post both my fixed Genegyptian and the Angelsaiahbabassyrian.....hehe...too funny.
-

-
could add failed objective
-
could add failed objective
Yes +1. And take out Egypt x2, Pithom, and Given over to Egypt.
-
:maul: also unknown nation can be very useful when discarded in battle
-
yes but i don't have UN or objective....
-
Take out HT it's not worth it for only 1 hero.
Abel is a complete waste and Cap is going to hurt u w/ Zeb. (Zeb needs all Heroes to be Genesis Heroes)
Don't take out Pithom or Given over because they are actually more useful to u than most other cards. Given over can easily hit some very good stuff and can be used for LS generation. Pithom makes Opponents less wanting to play Doms quickly over using Enhancements.
Pharaoh's Throne Room will protect ur Egyptians in territory from cards like AoCP. Also, I wouldn't drop Ruthless and would add Pharaoh's Prison and Potifar. Drop So, Shiahak, Jannes and Jambres and add Potifar, his wife, Warden, Wonders Forgotten and possibly even Banks of the Nile/ Pharaohs Court.
Also, definately use Rachel and Creation of the World.
-
Someone needs to think.
Able is great for playing CotW which can be a game winner.
Pithom and Given over to Egypt are useless because the Dom cap make dom played less often. Given over to egypt against a meta deck will do nothing because your opponent is drawing and probably can recur what is discarded, so lost soul drought no a problen
HT is amazing with joe. He can play Spiritual Warfare and RTC before the battle and probably win.
He does not have those characters anyway. He has wonders forgotten. Sites are useless.
And he has both those in.
Next time lets read a post before posting.
-
With so few Heroes, I would not use CotW or Abel. Dan and Levi would be nice adds. I would also take out the Stone Pillar because you have so few enhancements. Def try to get an Abe's Descendant.
-
Take HT for Writ or Grail ( I know you don't have them probably) also Abel is pretty useless once you play CotW so take him out for a blue Gen Hero, mostly a Son of Jacob. The same goes for Captain out him for a Gen hero too. Jacob's play ability is better than his banding

I read the first post. Abel is still useless because he can only used w/ 1 Enhancement. SW shouldn't be there because it takes up room that can be used for other more useful stuff.
Dom Cap helps Pithom, it makes an Opponent still not wanting to hurt themselves by that as well. Not to mention the ability to hold a Gold Curse. As for Given over, it's still useful. Don't assume that everyone is running a Sam/Gardensiples deck. And lots of Sam and Gardensiples decks ca be hurt badly by Given Over/Wonders Forgotten. (D/C top card, it's AutO, Sam, Gideon, etc) Wonders Forgotten removes it and ends the battle there. And now they just lost a nasty card.
Still HT isn't worth it, why have it in for 1 Hero that already gets Inish?
Prison is to get both Potifar and TDP's effects off faster (if at all) my suggestion is to not use Sites as much to Pharaoh's Court hurts Opponents Genesis Decks by damaging Zeb.
-
No see this is good....this gives me different strategies to use. I like all the advice. And nameless thanks for sticking up for my post and not having certain cards, but it's good cause now I know what cards i should be getting. The more posts the better. And yes I do have Writ. I actually got it in a TexP pack at the last tourney I was at and also from Drrek (Thanks, bro!). So, I have two. I'm going to look over my cards next week along with your posts and try and update.
-
The Advantage is that quite a lot of the Genesis stuff is really cheap. The most expensive Enhancement is RTC or Failed Objective. The rest are easy to obtain.
-
I updated my last deck post....I have tin X on the way. Until then I only added three cards to get my deck to 56. I will update again when I add them to my deck.
-
i would play king of tyrus as yellow rather then orange
-
I only have the orange KoT.
-
that does create a problem in playing king of tyrus yellow lol :P
-
lol. So what booster pack is KoT yellow in?
-
lol. So what booster pack is KoT yellow in?
Warriors.
-
I thought that was out of print? I know they brought the Women's packs back for a while.
-
honestly u will probably have better lucking buying it from someone or trading for it
-
prolly....;)
-
Yeah, there are barely any Warriors left the only way to get them now is to trade.
-
then that's what i'll have to do....ne one wanna trade me gold KoT through the mail? LOL!
-
not totally sure but i believe i have a second one coming in a couple weeks i know they may not help right now but once it comes in id be willing to negotiate
-
u serious? you'd trade through the mail????
-
u serious? you'd trade through the mail????
I have one but it has some wear and slight bend in the corner. It is availbe for trade if you want it just PM me your address and what you have to trade
-
sure i would like to say that most people on this website will be honest and trust worthy and even if ur not its ur reputation cuz i give feed back so yeah id say i would trade through the mail
-
Alright if you have some of the Luke/John Gold cards from RoA to Disciples send me which you got.
-
i think we are both looking to trade away the same card Arrthoa bc i am wanting to trade a KoT gold with the orignal poster but i dont have mine yet to send him so if u can make a deal with him by all means go for it man
-
I'll have to look ARth...because alot of my card pool are the old cruddy cards that have no abilities....lol....I'll see what I have and I'll let you know. And I'm very trustworthy...i would never recieve your cards in the mail and not send you one in return. wouldn't be very christian like now would it?
-
like I said earlier mine is not a mint condition one if if you are looking for a mint KoT you might try the other guy
-
i know for sure i will have my extra King of Tyrus Gold in about a week now because i finalized a deal where i am picking it up and it should be mint or near mint as far as i know
-
Hey guys, just so you know, you should exercise caution when setting up trades. Neither of you have much experience that I can see, so I'd encourage both of you to, in the future, only trade with people you know and trust, in real life, or with people a lot of +1s in their profile. I was actually ripped off by a very prominent member in the last six months. I'm not trying to discourage a trade between the two of you, just be careful.
-
Anyone playing egyptians that wants to use KoT i would sugeest using the warrior's edition bc he is then gold brigade
-
Thanks for the advice, Chris. I met 285's brother and if he's anything like his bro (which i'm sure you are, 285) i'm not worried.
-
thanks man and i also heard about u from my lil brother and would feel good about trading with u
-
Thanks! Just let me know what you would like and I'll look through my cards and see if I have it.
-
ok man sounds good ill take a look on Tuesday i have 4 papers to write and final on monday
-
i can think of some wants off hand actually
Assyrian Siege Army
Goliath (Promo)
Amakelite Slave X2
Neb
Temple of Dagon
Wrath of Satan
Haman's Plot(s)
-
I know I have a duplicate of Siege army. The others I'm not sure about. If i can find a duplicate of some of the others, would you have an Evil Spirit enhancement to trade or the gold Swift Horses?
-
I am pretty sure I have an extra swift I don't have an extra evil spirit
Faith ain't easy to understand 1 bird in the bush beats 2 in your hand
-
Ok then....I'll give you ASA for you Swift?
-
Ok then....I'll give you ASA for you Swift?
Actually, I'd give you ASA for gold KoT if you have it (condition of it doesn't matter to me). And then if I have any of the others you want, I'll trade you one for gold Swift Horses.
-
i think Kot for ASA straight up is a little steep for me . . . do u have ne other assyrian's, EE or assyrian (arts) u would be willing to throw in
ASA is 4.50 on TLG
KoT (warrior) is 19.00 on TLG
btw i also found an extra evil spirit if ur interested
-
I have duplicates of the foof tin xxi assyrians. I got the xtra tin at the last booster draft I was at. So you can have any one of those or more along with ASA for the KoT warrior. And I'll check to see if i have doubles of the others that you listed for Swift and the Evil Spirit.
-
I think I would go KoT+evil spirit for ASA and the extra tin if you wanted to do that
also if ne one else wants to add their opinoin to this that would be appreciated as i am new at trading and basically am looking at monetary value of the cards so any outside opinoin would be appreciatedi dont wanna do nething that looks unfair either way . .thanks
-
yes please! If neone has an opinion on this that would be great! KoT warrior + Evil Spirit for FooF Tin XXI...let us know please!
-
Derm does that tin include ASA?
Faith ain't easy to understand 1 bird in the bush beats 2 in your hand
-
Actually, I believe your right. It does include it.
-
do u happen to have a chance to check for the other stuff i was looking for?
-
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you in a while. Yes, I did look. Unfortunately, I don't have ne xtras of those on your list. I'm sorry.
-
Ne other cards you need? I'll look for them as well.
