You don't need silver in your deck.

You need to make your deck smaller, like down to 50 if you can. I don't have time to say specifics, but there's a lot of stuff that can be taken out to make your deck way more effective.

decreasing my deck does nothing

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #6 on:** February 28, 2009, 04:07:04 PM »

I'd agree with SS, but 56 not 50. Decreasing your deck DOES help, you'll get all your important cards out a few turns earlier.

Here is what I would take out
Lost Soul (anti-burial)
Storehouse
Jerusalem
Great Faith
Locust from the Pit
I am Redemption
Holy of Holies?

your nuts, sauce

great faith is a good card for purple and you'd be a noob to suggest to take out great faith

leaving in storehouse,jerusalem helps with my sad defense, locust helps against sitelocks, i am redemption returns captured heroes,and HoH is against those pesky fbtn. and a burial i'v been using for as long as i can remember.
50-56 does not help and i like having my deck at 63, i can get to my cards just as quick with reach and prosperity

False:love your learning spirit

:False Sauce is one of the better players I knoww take his advice and drop it to 50

lightningninja · « **Reply #9 on:** February 28, 2009, 04:50:05 PM »

To be honest... I also agree with everything Sauce said, he's in second on the SOT, and I've personally beaten this deck three times. It's too big. However, take out the word spreads, not great faith. Other than that... just TRY it Andy. You can always change it. Just give it a try. Please.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #10 on:** February 28, 2009, 04:52:20 PM »

I definately agree that 56 will help this particular deck. However, Andy is a stubborn ox who thinks he is a genius at deckbuilding and he will continue to refuse to take people's advice.

New Raven BR · « **Reply #11 on:** February 28, 2009, 05:03:27 PM »

no, i'm not trying it.
i'v tried it and it doesn't work

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2009, 05:38:40 PM »

Have you tried it with this deck? Probably not. So you don't know. Stop shooting down advice because it hasn't worked before. If things that didn't work before never worked, Heroless would never work, Defenseless would never work, Stonewall would never work. Seriously, try it. Unless your some mad scientist jenuis who is better at redemption than everyone who has posted here.

And by try it, I mean multiple games, not one game or two, more like 5 or 6 at least.

SoulSaver · « **Reply #13 on:** February 28, 2009, 05:51:57 PM »

Guys he apparently doesn't care about becoming better, he just wants to have a good time. Don't waste your time, I've learned my lesson from this and you should too. If he truly wanted to be good he would try to be good. I'm not ever giving him or someone like him advice again, it's not worth my breath.

Andy, this is exactly why you don't get better when it comes to deck building, You don't experiment at all. I suggested you try new archetypes and all you've done is say no to all the suggestions. Well (sighs) at least I got ya to realize why Coat of mail is wyn.

New Raven BR · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2009, 06:33:23 PM »

if only you could make sauce see why the cards he listed to take out are wyn

and soulsaver, you say i want to have a good time and that's true but unfortunatly i don't which i'm gonna try and change soon

The point isn't taking them out because they're not good. The point of taking them out is because they are the worst ones in your deck.

New Raven BR · « **Reply #18 on:** February 28, 2009, 06:41:49 PM »

if only you knew how useful some of those cards are sauce

lightningninja · « **Reply #19 on:** February 28, 2009, 07:33:50 PM »

HE DOES! He's an excellent player. He's second place in a tournament against several national champions, losing only to Bryon Gabe in the final week. He has tried all those cards I'M SURE and he knows that they aren't worth the six extra cards in your deck. Just try it. And until that deck changes to 56, I think I speak for all of us when I say that I'm not giving any more advice.

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #20 on:** February 28, 2009, 07:46:40 PM »

. You speak for me.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #21 on:** February 28, 2009, 07:47:11 PM »

I don't think I deserve as much credit as you guys are giving me. The only reason I got second was

-A long chain of lucky streaks (Great draws)
-I'm one of the few people using a speed deck. (For most of my games, anyway)
-I stole the original version of my deck from Gabe....

..... Its plenty different now though

.

With that being said, I still feel those changes are for the best. I only offer advice on things that I feel sure of; that I feel are correct. I'm still not at the deck making level of many other people that have offered suggestions on this thread, but it is still an improvement.

I have created a Black defense that has been insanely successful before, so I know how useful it is. Royalty happens to be my favorite offensive theme, so I know that too

New Raven BR · « **Reply #22 on:** February 28, 2009, 07:52:30 PM »

i'll make a smaller version of the current deck since you say you know royalty and black defenses

lightningninja · « **Reply #23 on:** February 28, 2009, 07:59:51 PM »

I too know royalty deck, as my purple kings have gone 17-3.

New Raven BR · « **Reply #24 on:** February 28, 2009, 08:00:42 PM »

HOLY OF HOLIES!!!
17-3?! dang
