Post by: Colin Michael on August 31, 2008, 01:53:03 AM: McCain would approve this deck if it was a young woman.

I wont argue that for a second, the point was to use as many new ROA cards as possible.

Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on September 01, 2008, 01:22:39 PM: What about the defense Ben? does it need more power to it or is it fine how it is.
Title: Re: McCain Approves this deck.
Post by: DaClock on September 01, 2008, 04:45:21 PM: It seems a bit spread out, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Although there are some new cards that damage multi-brigade defense, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Post by: JSB23 on September 01, 2008, 05:33:09 PM: I think it's not too bad, a Transfig, Moses and Elijah would be good
Title: Re: McCain Approves this deck.
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on September 01, 2008, 06:56:32 PM: Would do you recommend I take out for those? The deck is really tight on space. and I'd like to not go up to 63

Post by: JSB23 on September 01, 2008, 07:06:44 PM: Esther, Torment, terrifying beast
Title: Re: McCain Approves this deck.
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on September 01, 2008, 07:08:09 PM: Terrifiying Beast can go, The problem that I have with Esther is then I only have one royal female for Lemuel. Torment is almost a staple to me, it allows me to re-use the auto-blockers plus I can discard it for Zimri and Otho.

Post by: JSB23 on September 01, 2008, 07:13:07 PM: Lurking and wool fleece then?
Title: Re: McCain Approves this deck.
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on September 01, 2008, 07:26:23 PM: Wool Fleece works I was toying with taking that out earlier. The problem with Lurking is that then I have no protection against CTB

Post by: Master KChief on September 01, 2008, 09:57:52 PM: how does this deck survive against a garden tomb?

He has a point
Title: Re: McCain Approves this deck.
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on September 01, 2008, 10:39:05 PM: Very well actually, It has at least two characters in every brigade except brown.

Post by: TimMierz on September 11, 2008, 01:24:50 PM: I would remove Zimri and Seven Sons for Galba and Vitellius and remove Lurking (as much as I love it) and I Am Creator for Namaan's Chariot and Horses and Rome. Taking something out for Moses and Elders would be another good choice, to recur Authority of Christ.
