I've tried this deck out....It's actually pretty fun. ;D

The deck looks pretty fun. The defense looks like the present deck of the guy who took 2nd for type 1 2-player:
Nathan Voigt. I know him; we're actually live within 10 minutes of each other.
-
That or it looks like most of RR's defenses. ;)

Lol I don't use oppressed and robbed, I use spreading mildew instead.

I have both O&R and Mildew in my deck, if you didn't notice.

I did.
-
Yeah, sometimes it's nice to use both, just in case....And sometimes I might need to take out a Z Temple or something.
-
Is it worth having two extra cards (Angel at Shur and CotH) to support Jacob? They seem pretty out of context otherwise and if he gets discarded, you'll have a hard time justifying them, even with their decent abilities.

+1 I'd switch coth for zebulon
-
Both of those characters can be independent. In fact, I hardly ever use Angel at Shur with Jacob. I'll often make a battle challenge with him just to use his ability. (Tim's nats-winning deck used Angel at Shur, too.) I guess, maybe, I could replace Captain with Zebulun. I can hardly see myself using his ability often, though. :-\
-
Also, I've been thinking of adding Zimri, Son of Salu, to my deck, since I have two Gold female EC's....And maybe I'll add Uzzah, too...and Gibeonite Trickery or Korah's Rebellion while I'm at it. ;D

Deck Updated
Okay, I traded out CotH for Zebulun. Now, what do you think about Zimri? I think he could really be a valuable addition. Maybe I could take Abram/Abraham out to make room for him, since I hardly use him anyway. (It's just that I never want to make an initial rescue with him so that I might, possibly, use his ability another time.) Also, I don't think Numerous as the Stars is really benefiting me, since I usually only use it to take out Jacob and then play the next enhancement, and I can only do that once. Also, when I do use it, I don't really need it anyway, since I already had initiative at the time that I played it. :dunno: I guess, sometimes, it might be nice to play it while using Abe's Servant to take out a character and get my numbers up.
Now I'm rather considering trying to condense this into 56 cards. If I added Zimri, maybe I could remove an evil enhancement or two, like maybe Begging to Go Back or Evil Spirit.
...Rambling again...sorry...

...Also, I kind of want to fit in Wickedness Removed....

Deck Updated
Okay, I traded Priestly Crown for Zimri.
-
Why Zimri?
I think Wickedness Removed fits better with your deck
-
Also, I kind of want to fit in Wickedness Removed.
I just don't think I would ever really get a chance to use it. Yeah, I know that Zimri is a pretty obscure choice, but he'll be very useful in the future, I'm sure.

Deck Updated
Okay, okay, I made a few changes. See what you think about it now.
-
Offense is a little small but other than that it's fine
-
Yeah, that is a small concern for me...but I think it's at least more evened out now.

:D I just played the wierdest game with this deck! I had discarded almost all of my opponent's cards, including his SoG, ether through deck discarding or in battle, and had drawn the last card from my deck. The score was 1-3, with me at the losing end. So, I devised a plan: I laid down all my cards, giving me no cards in either my hand or my draw pile, and then made a rescue attempt with, guess who, Zebulun! I couldn't draw any cards, and I had no cards in my hand, so I was now ignoring all evil characters. Since my opponent hardly had any cards himself, there wasn't really anything he could do. Long story short, I won, 5-3. :D
-
That's called a Zebulen offense
-
Yeah, people have been making herolites based on him for a while now. ;)
