Burning of the Chaff-out for Leviathan or Zimri or Judas
Babylonian Forces-out for Leviathan Zimri or Judas
Destructive Decay-out for lying unto God
The Wages of Sin-out for Lurking
Murmuring-out for Midianite Attack

Unless you go 100% with this strategy I do not see it working in type 1. Go Big or Go Home!

Post by: Warrior_Monk on November 13, 2009, 09:46:38 AM: ok, that's managable. your defense is actually the same size as my new deck (with the exception of you have 1 more EE and I have 3 more curses)

but, if you want to go 100% with that strategy I'd go with Egypt/Herod or Rome. deck/hand discard so you can get rid of them faster. use defense offensively and defensively. but, Babs are fun, so I guess you can stick with them, it's just the strategy would work better the other way IMO.

also, I don't think you need Amasai and Gabe. you'll probably not get a rescue off of them. prophets plus HT should be enough, though you can probably stick in some more.
also, I'd listen to Tyler (Mr. Hiatus).
