I went with a hand control theme on defence to support my Job offence but it needs some work. I would also like to fit in Magic Charms somewhere but im pushing the limit at 56. Fearfulness could come out but it has been an MVP so far with plays like SoG on bottom and then confusion it, hard to take out. I think Thorn in the Flesh would also be nice with say Complainers and Threatened Lives would love to make an apperance as well maybe for more Golgotha recursion.

Weakness: Disciples aka Simon The Zealot, Four-Drachma Coin...ect.

And Cup of Wrath...

Post by: Master KChief on October 18, 2010, 08:20:55 PM: needs entrapping pharisees. i can also understand the inclusion of hoh, but i think confusion of mind would better suit your purposes. its a win-win for you either way.

Post by: Josh on October 18, 2010, 08:41:07 PM: 2 Pale Green characters, 6 Pale Green enhancements... That's quite a ratio.

Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on October 18, 2010, 08:44:13 PM: Mannywood is Split PG, and Ahaz can play PG, so he's really got 4 and 6 which isn't that bad.

That's true, forgot about them. Plus he can put 2kh on Manny outside of battle.

Looking at this deck gives me an idea... If you have Rome out, can you place 2kh on an emperor outside of battle?

Nope.
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: Master KChief on October 18, 2010, 08:58:50 PM: explanation: because 2kh isnt nt.

manny can also put 2kh on himself outside of battle. ahaz cannot.
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on October 18, 2010, 09:00:29 PM: The expanded reason why not is because 2KH is O.T. and Rome only allows N.T. to be played.

Instaposted.....

Post by: Master KChief on October 18, 2010, 09:18:10 PM: im curious how this deck gets souls. is it supposed to be job alone?
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: RTSmaniac on October 18, 2010, 09:52:49 PM: You get thier hand down and use abilities like I am Holy/Fearfulness to remove key cards and play Job Overcomes/Faith as battlewinners. the discard from hand works very well in the end game if you can last that long which isnt hard because I recur my forgotten history/heavy taxes easily.

Post by: Master KChief on October 18, 2010, 10:13:09 PM: what do you do against cbn evil banding? orange particularly?
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: RTSmaniac on October 18, 2010, 10:14:43 PM: not very much i would say excepy maybe cup of wrath? dunno
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: Master KChief on October 18, 2010, 10:15:49 PM: i was wondering that too, is the cup of wrath for some kind of combo or something?
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: RTSmaniac on October 18, 2010, 10:29:19 PM: helps to nail the coffin shut you might say. good for DoU too
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: Minister Polarius on October 19, 2010, 04:26:19 AM: I'd say leave it in, but use it more judiciously. You would have won your game against me if you'd just used Job's Faith against my KoT instead of getting greedy with Cup of Wrath.
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: RTSmaniac on October 19, 2010, 10:00:18 AM: true
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: Master KChief on October 19, 2010, 10:02:00 AM: what did you do with cup of wrath (im assuming you had hoh up?)?
Title: Re: Job Control
Post by: Minister Polarius on October 19, 2010, 01:05:59 PM: He Cup of Wrath'd my blocking KoT into a Messenger of Satan banded to I think Vitellus, and I played Swift Horses followed by Moses Kills Egyptian (the only two EE's I had left) and then AotL on my KoT so he couldn't do...whatever it was he was going to do.

Post by: Master KChief on October 22, 2010, 04:01:57 PM: if he adds women as snares he might as well add noah too.
