Generally, a blue deck will be Genesis with Egyptians on defense.

What goes in Genesis Blue Decks and Egyptians. I have all the new cards. Help



-DARiO-


All of Tin 22:
Joseph
Rachel
Joseph Before Pharaoh
Forgiveness of Joseph
7 Years of Plenty
7 Years of Famine
Pharaoh's Cupbearer
Pharaoh's Baker
The Dreaming Pharaoh
Egyptian Magicians

Plus Zebulun, Reuben's Torn Clothes, and Reuben. Creation of the World (green Brigade) searches for all Genesis heroes in your Discard pile and bands them into battle, so you'll probably want to use that. Two Bears makes Joseph better and Abel is a genesis green Hero with a decent Special Ability who can play both Creation and Two Bears. For the Defense, Gold KOT, Egyptian Charioteers, Egyptian Chariots and Horsies, Failed Objective, Wonders Forgotten, Egyptian Magicians, and Escape to Egypt are all good cards to have in an Egyptian Defense.


Here is a playtest genesis offense by Gabe

Heroes 11
Joseph
Simeon
Levi
Judah
Eve
Jacob
Rachel
Asher
Zebulun
Benjamin
Angel at Shur

GEs 10
Coat of Many Colors
Answer to Prayer
Jacob Buries the Foreign gods
Abraham's Descendant
Obedience of Noah
Abraham's Servant to Ur
Reuben’s Torn Clothes
Joseph Before Pharaoh
Numerous as the Stars
Creation of the World


Hope this helps!

Is 7 Years of Famine really worth the slot?

Maybe not, but I was just giving some ideas.

I don't even know why it exists.  In a full Geniptian deck, you hurt your drawing and your Zeb.

I've been pondering the idea of using it instead of Plenty. Since Genesis decks traditionally have low hand sizes, it's really not a horrible idea to use it if you're not using Genyptians, and just Genesis offense. It does kill Zeb, as well as pre-block RTC with Jake, but it's still not horrible, since Genesis offenses don't draw.

Zeb and RTC are some of the best Genesis has to offer.

It's one of the best hand discard cards in the game. Genesis Romans is a nasty hand discard and that gives you 6 or 7 extra discards.

here are a couple good examples of standard genesis decks:

http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/type-1-deck-advice/genesis-deck/
this one is a speed deck 

http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/type-1-deck-advice/genisisegyptian/
this one has a more defense and more enhancements

RTC=Reuben’s Torn Clothes (FF)

Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Blue • Ability: 1 / 6 • Class: None • Special Ability: Negate all evil immunity. All Genesis Heroes ignore an evil brigade of your choice. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Genesis 37:29 • Availability: Faith of our Fathers booster packs (None)

Stone Pillar at Bethel is good artifact for genesis. Chariots of Fire and Unholy Writ should be in almost every deck.

Right now for some reason my deck is becoming a MP deck instead of T1 Deck.
