I'm not really interested in switching offenses and I chose the 4th Seal because it can kill just about everything, not just 1 or 2 EC's. Plz tell me what u all think!

I don't think that ruthless would add that much to this deck, so don't worry about it.

On the offense I would take out attending angel for Simeon since he gives you another guy to band to captain and most of your other angels, or he can band to Jacob for an even bigger band.

Then take out the deck discarder and Falling away to make it 56. Other than that it looks pretty good.

My offense is doing good already. AA is one of my most useful cards in the Deck.
I'd question the worthlessness of Ruthless, most good Battlewinners can be negated and I can't stop them otherwise.

You must not play Sam or Genesis decks very often…

Also–I would not take out FA.

megamanlan · « **Reply #4 on:** April 17, 2012, 04:02:49 PM »

Actually I do. Genesis Decks like to run towards using Zeb's effect and Joe can only make 3 cards Battlewinners.
The Sam decks I played only run Sam's Edict which I kick using Gab right after Plot.

Sorry I meant Angel of warning not Attending Angel, you definitely want AA. Also on second thought, don't cut FA, cut burial, I thought you had the 2-liner in there but you don't.

If you really want to keep Ruthless you can, but I think there are options out there that work better.

A New Creation?

A new creation has nothing to do with what I was saying, I don't know why it's up there. The card feature does that to me sometimes, I don't know why.

AoW is my easy search for Chamber or Storehouse or a Site for access. For me Searching speeds my deck up. It would be one for Simeon if he was Green then I could do Cherubim+Simeon+Gab or Cap but it isn't doesn't help me right now.

I am relooking at Ruthless right now. It's between that or Beheaded, but I usually like for it to hit the Top card instead...

But does AoW help you win rescues? I understand that he can do a lot of handy things but if he isn't winning rescues you should dump him. If he is you can leave him, but I think that Simeon would still rescue more if you added him since having another bander helps to counter CM.

I didn't even think about the Green Simeon, you chould use him I guess, but I think that the Gold one would serve your deck better, Cherubim couldn't band to him but the gold one can band to Angel at Shur or Jacob (or Gabe or Cap too).

I'm not a very big supporter of deck discard unless you're using Samaritans on offense, it seems to me that if you don't commit to deck destruction all the way that it just detracts from blocking/rescuing. You could opt to take out that extra evil card all together to add in Simeon I think that actually might serve your deck better over all.

megamanlan · « **Reply #10 on:** April 19, 2012, 12:49:23 AM »

Actually, I have more trouble on Defense then offense, Not enough cards.
My Offense still runs well, AoW is usually just a go-to-chamber card, but I can win w/ him too, but it usually ends up I don't really have any Enhancements to play when he's in battle.

Also for Deck Dis, my deck actually has damage for that Gab and Cherubim on offense and Egyptian Defense. Part of my goal is to hit some nasty cards like a Dom and to get Plot in Discard before my Opponent can get it. (Gab usually does that)

Simeon would help make those rescue attempts into ones that actually win instead of being go-to-chamber battles.

I know the goal of deck discard and I don't think that you have enough of it to warrant using it. So here's my advice, add in more deck discard or get rid of Egyptain Spear, Huge Egyptain, and given over to Egypt for Gomer, KoT, and charms. (the defense you need) Or add in more deck discard stuff.

megamanlan · « **Reply #12 on:** April 19, 2012, 01:58:59 AM »

Unfortunately he probably wouldn't, because I have no Enhancements and usually like 2 Angels and more often then not, they are not Prophets. And AoW helps me run though my deck faster. Simeon doesn't help me as much especially when I have HHI up.

I don't have Spear in the Deck. And I don't need KoT/Gomer combo because it doesn't assist me enough and getting rid of an Egyptian for an Non-Egyptian isn't very good either. Also, I don't have enough characters to play Charms too if I had it.

Wings of Music · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2012, 11:50:36 AM »

Simeon doesn't need enhancement he just has to band to one of your prophets, you have four in there so you'll have really good odds of having someone to band to.

You already have several non-egyptians in there. (Uzzah, and Manny) So adding in Gomer and KoT won't hurt you too much, in fact it'll help far more than it hurts. You also have two magicians, EM, and Manny, if you switch out Warden or Huge Egyptian with Pharaoh's magicians that gives you a third one and that's plenty to use charms with.

This is the last post I'm going to make here. If you don't want to accept any critique please don't ask for any.

megamanlan · « **Reply #14 on:** April 19, 2012, 04:36:10 PM »

If Simeon comes when AoW usually does, it won't help, and another useless card when CwD is up.

One big problem, Gomer can't survive 4th Seal vs. Uzzah who I wouldn't care because he wouldn't be in play to be affected and Manny can survive it. KoT I don't have one that I could use (If I did I'd be using it) and it took forever for me to get the only one I have. (Trust me, it took forever for me to decide if I would use Gomer or not) but Pharaoh's Magicians are junk. I wouldn't drop Warden for them, but I may use Charms if I ever get the card... But what happened to Capture not being useful?
Manny's mostly there so that TGT can't ignore Magicians or Uzzah.

I was posting on here asking a specific question, not for general advice (although I did take some of it)
