Title: Drawing defense
Post by: LordZardeck on March 18, 2012, 11:44:11 PM
What are the best ways to draw with a defense. I noticed that most draw cards are offense cards.

Pharisees and Gentyptians are generally the fastest defenses. Brown also has a +4.

And make brown even more powerful... Yeah... Keep wishing ;) 

Seriously though.  I would definitely go with pharisees though if you want speed, and they mesh well with some decent offenses.  I would only use egyptians if you use genesis.  Brown can be pretty fast with its +4.  It can be really quite fast if you use kings of Judah to draw off of GoJ, and splash magicians (manny is a magician after all, who by the way can use 2kh for more drawing), specifically damsel and Egyptian magicians.  Add on brown's +4 enhancement and you have a pretty fast defense.  But that's only if you have enough space for a fairly large defense. 

A far more efficient defense would be pharisees.

If Brown had a d2+play next weapon, then King Amon would be the best EC of all time.

Romans also have several draw cards. Sabbath Breaker (not Roman but grey), Heavy Taxes, Denarius, Naaman's Chariots & Horses, and Emperor Vitellius.
