Title: Banding advice
Post by: Good Samaritan on May 22, 2010, 01:34:48 PM: I was wondering what would be a good banding deck,for either offence,defence,or both.

Any ideas/advice?

The second, only players on this forum.
I don't think anyone understands the third.
The fourth's only a snarky remark.

*Cue VP*

Post by: Professoralstad on May 23, 2010, 08:43:13 PM: And the fifth is a helpful, albeit possibly confusing post explaining why the best offensive banding decks include the Warrior Class banding characters (like Israelite Archer, Heldai, Maharai, and Helez) along with the Warrior Class FBTN characters (Ira, Benaiah, The Strong Angel) and also a few non-WC banding characters (Jacob, Simeon, Captain of the Host). The idea is to get as many of these characters out ASAP, and beat your opponent before they get any of a myriad of counters (Holy of Holies, Golden Calf, Asherah Pole, Twelve-Fingered Giant, etc, etc.). Cards like Captured Ark and Holy Grail can usually help.

FBTN?

Yeah, sorry. Fight by the numbers means characters that negate all special abilities, like Moses, The Strong Angel, and King of Tyrus.

Post by: redemption101 on May 23, 2010, 11:43:01 PM: sent you a pm with the type of deck your looking for,

As for what counters a banding deck (by how comonly its found)
Grapes of Wrath
can't be prevented lost soul
Confusion of Mind
12 fingered giant
HOH/Golden Calf/Ashera pole
.....

How i normaly play a BBTN deck is to stack up on covenats that are helpfull. Use HT and GOYS (allowing for dom discard for COF). Caleb is my current version then don and a art killer card
