Why 58? you have less doms then the dom cap. Why not cut a Lost Soul, Huge Egyptian, and Given over to Egypt.

not a fan of escape or moses . . . wonders forgotten is good if you can get the right numbers to play it . . i find it most effective if you put egyptian charioteers with egyptians horses and play it on that combination

No, I have 8 Doms and 8 LS's. The Dom Cap is the # of LS's.

As for Moses kills Egyptian, it's not as good as like Beheaded. Escape to Egypt is really bad because u have to have 2 Heroes to kick out of battle. I may put Snakes in, because of how useful it can be. I use Horses on the Dreaming Pharaoh and Genesis Egyptians have endless banding chains so Wonders is great! Also, why drop Given Over to Egypt? That's really good! And to put it to 56 I'd have to drop a LS and a Dom.

for escape to egypt,I don't think you have to withdraw two heroes, and beheaded isn't as good as moses because moses is "interrupt the battle and set aside hero for.....which sets aside any hero. As for beheaded, your not going to be always facing a male human hero.

If it was less then it would say up to 2 Heroes. The reason why is because it's too crazy.

And no, Moses sets-aside only Male Heroes. W/ Beheaded, I can use it in territory, and I can choose to either D/C a captured Hero or the Top card of Opponents deck too. And besides Moses doesn't D/C the Character so it's not as good because I might have to face it again later.

I'm not really sure that the pretty basic angels do much. I might add a Gideon and maybe a Moses and Aaron or something so that you have mainly angels that support but add others so that they can still do well on their own.

It currently seems to actually do well on offense, my defense is the problem, it has a tendency to go away a little quickly.
And I don't really use AutO or AwaSN because they are a waste to my deck. Part of the deck is to force my Opponent to slow down while I speed up.

It's an 8/8 guy that I can never get Inish easily so it would end up just losing a battle, thats why it doesn't help me much.

And what Hero do you get initiative with? Shur is the only one that gets good initiative. Silver is slower than death by potassium, any drawing you can get is drawing you need.

Attending, AoW, A@S, & Cherubim give me Inish. Also, I can get SI w/ Mike easily.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the evil side? I'm still worried if I should use Wise men and Beheaded...
