In its current condition, the offense is weak at best. You have maybe one legit battle winner in "He is Risen", and some situational ones like A Child is Born and Scarlet Line. I'd throw out your defense (having defense in a TGT deck is bad, if your opponent plays brown you're in major trouble) for a more standalone/suicide like defence. With the extra slots, I'd add more territory destruction such as some purple (John/Reach/Boat) and Holy Grail. Words of Encouragement should be in there, too.

Post by: CJSports on July 21, 2010, 10:16:15 AM: I would play with a light phillistine defense, Outpost, Garrison, 12FG, Armorbearer, Bringing fear, wrath of satan, Overwhelmed, ETC. I'd do this usually phillistines arn't in your territory. I would also play with woman of snares for more acces With TGT. then also play with single block stuff like uzzah and trembling demon. :maul:

I rather do splash with tgt that way if they are playing a brigade and you have it, put the other ones down...DO standalones and site-stall. KOT & POTW orange, SSoS, Gomer texp, philly garrison, uzzah, and other standalones and bbh & babylons.
