New Deck (trying to get back into the game)
« on: April 19, 2011, 08:51:52 PM »

I haven't played for several years and am trying to get a handle on a lot of the new strategies and cards from the recent expansions. I am trying to work on a new balanced deck and would love some ideas or constructive criticism.

My defense is a Persian and Demon Brown/Orange setup, but I primarily want to see what people have to say about the offense. I have two versions of the offense (primary difference is Red vs Silver) for this deck and want to see which one would work better in most situations or if there are other cards/brigades I need to consider completely.

Version 1
Gold
Noah's Sons
Good Samaritan
Kindness
Deborah's Directive
Plague of Hail
The Acts of Solomon
Built on the Rock

Red
Adam
Seeker of the Lost
Standing in the Gap
Battle Cry
Holy Ground

Blue
Noah
Eve
Covenant of Noah
Jacob's Rods
Courage

Multi
The Sabbath
Burning up the Chaff

Artifacts
Miraculous Handkerchiefs
Altar of Incense
Priestly Crown
Book of the Law
Samaritan Water Jar
Ark of the Covenant

Version 2
Gold
Noah's Sons
Israelite Archer
Water from the Rock
Plague of Hail
The Acts of Solomon
Built on the Rock
Entertaining Angels

Silver
Angel of God
Guardian Angel
Created by Christ
Multitude
Michael's Sword

Blue
Noah
Eve
Covenant of Noah
Pleading for the City
Courage

Multi
Coat of Many Colors
Burning up the Chaff

Artifacts
Book of the Law
Priestly Crown
Holy of Holies
King's Sword
Darius' Decree
Ark of the Covenant

Welcome back to the game, and you have a good idea to come here to the forum to get deck advice.  Be warned that most people will probably give a LOT of suggestions, and you probably don't have a lot of those cards yet.  This offense wouldn't win any big tournaments, but it could still be a lot of fun to play around with as long as your current opponent/s are on a similar level to yourself.

You do have some really good cards in there (Seeker of the Lost, Ark of the Covenant, Israelite Archer, Michael's Sword, and Darius Decree), but I would generally recommend that for newer players that you try to build an offense that is all 1 brigade so that your enhancements and characters always match when you need them to.  I would recommend that you have about 9 heroes, and about 9 good enhancements.

Given what you've listed, I would probably choose to focus on Blue.

Noah
Noah's Sons (I know their not blue, but the help Noah)
Seeker of the Lost
Eve
Israelite Archer (I know he's not blue either, but he could just kamakazi to take out 1 EC, or he could band to a weapon-class blue hero if you have one)
4 more blue heroes that you have

Covenant of Noah
Jacob's Rods
Courage
Holy Ground (I know it's not blue, but Seeker can use it to negate)
Burning up the Chaff
4 other blue enhancements that you have

Artifacts
Priestly Crown - to have site access
Ark of the Covenant - to take out a couple of ECs
Holy of Holies - so that Moses and KoT don't kill you
King's Sword - so Red Dragon isn't invincible to you
Darius Decree - so ET doesn't kill you

Then to get you offense supersized, I would buy the tins of Genesis stuff from FooF and RoA.  If I remember there were 3 tins, and that should get you about all you need.  It'll also get you a bunch of booster packs that could have other cards for your defense, etc.

Thanks for the advice.

I thought that the multiple brigade thing might be brought up. I tried to put a few banding cards in because of that, but maybe I just need to stick to fewer brigades. I have a few of the FooF and RoA cards, so I could go for more of a Genesis themed deck.

it is strange how you have some cards that everyone uses intermixed with other cards that are not so good

I recently picked up some cards from a friend trying to get rid of everything which is how I got some of the recent DI, FooF, RoA, and Promos. But most of my collection and my experience is "pre" those sets. Like I said in the original post, I haven't really figured out yet how some of the newer strategies mesh together. I know there are some really powerful cards in this deck, but I know there are probably some not so good ones as well. And mostly just out of ignorance on my part.

Lol, I was including the DI enhancement version, but that would be funny to try and pull off. Using the cross icon Kindness error card and using Good Samaritan to grab it.
