I wanted to build a deck around High Places.  I decided to use Judges alongside angels because of Angel with the Secret Name and AutO.  The captures still work in battle, but if I can get PoJ and HP up, I can take several of their key heroes during my turn.  I haven't played with it yet, so I don't know how it will do.  My primary concern is size and speed - without PoJ/HP I can't do much damage outside of battle, which is the whole point of the deck; I'm also not sure if I have enough in-battle blocks.  Any suggestions are appreciated :)

like Kirk suggested, add blue splash with Pleading for the City.

Joseph Brothers Scheme doesnt count for place ability.

I would prob cut Ibzan b/c youll never get to play anything on him most of the time. Also AwaSN serves the same purpose.

Judges Seat just never gets there for me except maybe TEAMS deck.

Assyrian Survivor
Astrologers
Egyptian Magicians
Emperor Claudias
Esau, the Hunter
Jezebel
King Manasseh
Prince of this World
The Amalekites' Slave
Uzzah
Women as Snares

so thats 6 cuts right there for starters

Why doesn't JBS count for High Places?  JBS has the word "place" in the special ability.


High Places: "...you may play evil Enhancements that contain the word place in the special ability."

place vs. placed where it is ruled "placed" doesnt work...

Maybe cut Ibzan and Protection o' Angels for Samson and Birth Foretold. I'd replace Kindness w/ Ambush the City and Wheel for Sword Against Sword.

I agree with RTSmaniac for defense cuts. Probably should add something to get rid of protect forts (ASA is probably best).
