Hey guys. its been a long time since i posted decks mainly because i like keeping secrets but i doubt people don't know what i run anyway. i've had the same offense for the past 3 years (give or take a few cards) but i've stuck with basically the same thing and it still works very well. it is centered around the big 3 new testament green prophets w/cherubim (new one) traditional prophet battle winners with some modifications (ie provisions and sword of the LORD) with benaiah (warriors) who is really never blocked with today's terrible metta. i normally don't use hidden treasures but i do use obidiahs caves and this offense is never truly stopped. the only way a deck with this offense (which i entitled "Gang Green" after my favorite sports team) losses is because it was out drawn. changing any cards on the offense side is completely out of the question as the offense functions as a unit. with all that being said, i have 12 card slots left in my 56 card deck. can anyone make a viable defense that stops annoying crap like sam or fbtn. it has to be pretty even like 6 ecs and 6 ens. i was thinking about untheamed crimson centered around judas iscariot. any suggestions regarding the 12 card defense will be accepted. can you guys help?

If you just want your defense to be able to stop Sam etc. then the best 2 ECs are the new ones from the tin.  Foreign Wives is an invincible block when they draw off Sam, and Foreign Spearmen are great for blocking those low numbered ECs that are counting on playing CBN off their initiative (Sam/Joseph/Benjamin/Uriah/etc.)  They end up with nothing to do because they're smaller than the Spearmen, and can't play their GEs after all.
