But I was also wondering about the magic charms....... :dunno:

I think you mean seraphim. I agree with Nameless as well.

Cherubim (FF2)

Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: 4 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Look at opponent's hand and place the evil Dominants on deck. May band to Cherubim, a green Prophet or a teal Priest. • Identifiers: Generic OT Male Angel • Verse: Ezekiel 10:14 • Availability: Faith of our Fathers Extended booster packs (None)

Also, Nameless, take out Seraphim for Seraph. CBN banding is always better.

ahh yes :doh:. and seraph over seraphim. Cov. with death might actually be better than Assyria's Tribute with all the CBN/CBP out there. My stand alone defense has found it very annoying. >:(

Post by: sepjazzwarrior on January 14, 2012, 01:14:13 PM: I would take out Assyrian Camp and put in Protection of Jerusalem so you can take out your own Assyrians with Serph with a live coal. I like to may Isaiah decks (I would add in Hur and gifts as well)

OP, I think it's important to be aware of this strategy, however, I think it's pretty controversial. Personally, I never use it, because I don't think it's that good. Other people swear by it - it just depends on your play style. I'd encourage you to at least try it out.

I toyed around with that in my Isaiah deck and never got a chance to use it. It's too situational most of the time.
