Put the crimson enhancement that captures two humans in instead of Head of Gold... HoG will only get you two at most and sometimes 1 or 0.

Is this Gabes deck lol
-
Wow, the defense is almost an exact copy of mine. Props! ;D
-
Is this Gabes deck lol
Nope. I have a deck or two that are similar to this. Great minds think alike. ;D
You only have 2 Babylonians but you're using cards that rely on having a lot of Babyonlians to be effective. I'd probably change that a little.
I agree that Carried Into Exile would work better than Head of Gold since you only have two Babs.
Also, with only 2 Babs you're probably better off using King Merodach-baladan instead of Nergalsharezer. The King can play Carried Into Exile without needing inish.
Swift Horses isn't very effective with only 2 Babs. I'd probably change it out for Midianite Attack or the crimson curse Go Into Captivity.
-
Also, I would probably switch out jeiel or priscilla for Enoch. hes white and he is protected from discard. You lose a NT woman, but I think you have plenty there.
-
with so many white nt female heros, you figure you would go the boc/i am truth/i am love/no need for spices route...
-
With the recent discussion about whether you take the words within quotes in special abilities to mean only that exact word or to refer to the type of ability as a whole, was it decided if I am Truth and I am Love still work the way they always have?

If you bought all these cards separatly at, say three lions, I think it would cost you about 170 dollars or more. If you bought them from people online, I think you could get it for around 130-140. Maybe less.
To make it cheaper eliminaty GOYS, DoN and KoT. Those are price killers there. Also the revealer and the three-liner are your priciest LS's perhaps th ere is a cheaper route in LS's you may want to take.
Eliminating Elijah will save you some money too. he is only there for the transfig band and Enoch is a better hero in my opinion and he costs less...plus he is white and can play most of your enhancements. The cheapest you can find elijah might be $10. but enoch can be found for 1-2 dollars.
You might want to switch torment out for something cheaper if you are still looking to shave some $$ off of this deck.

I think its reasonable to assume you could buy all of the cards for the following prices from people on the message boards. The total is $130.50. However, if you bought a bunch from one person, I'm sure you could get a 10% discount or so. Compared to buying them at list price from Three Lions Gaming, which would cost over $200, it is pretty reasonable.
The bulk of the price is in the staple dominants and 2 Lost soul cards. (GoYS $10 + DoN $10 + FA $10 + NJ $5 + HT $5 + Revealer $8 + 3-line $7 = $55) You can use those in any deck that you make in the future, thus cutting down on future expenses. Its a necessary upfront expense if you want to have a better shot at having a competitive deck. I don't have alot of the Rock of Ages cards for sale, but I have most of the others I could supply you with at these prices if you were interested.

yeah, kirk said it better. I just didnt have the time to total up all the $$. but my guestimate was pretty close!
-
I am not sure but I think that there are people that have a lot of doubles of cards like this and if you ask they might be willing to work something out. I'll take a look and see if i have some extra copies lying around but right now with my mass deck building project there is no telling how many of what I have.
-
Revealer, I have a 2 liner not a 3 liner, Uzzah, Head of Gold, KoT only cuz he is in my type 1 sorry, The Amalekites Slave, are the cards I could not do sinc ei do not have them. So if you switched your deck to a different lost soul than the revealer, maybe a N.T. only I could do that, do a 2 liner instead of 3 liner, and buy singles on Uzzah, Head of Gold, and Amalekites Slave, and switch KoT for something till you can get one sorry. But I could do all that for $55 if you are willing. That is probably the best deal you will find. I do not really need all these extra cards I have so I figured I would rather help you out and get some cash in the process. Also with the money you save by switching to me, that sounded like a Geico commercial, you could buy the singles. So if you wanna do that let me know.

FYI - Origional thread from July of 09, I doubt he's still looking to buy.
