Title: Persians?
Post by: Irish_Luck on February 04, 2012, 07:09:16 PM
How good is a medium sized Persian deck? Has anyone tried it this season and if so what did and didn't work.

What's a Persian Defense?

Just kidding. But seriously. The best thing that Persians have going for them is that you can use Gomer and Uzzah with them fairly easily.

I figured that since nobody is using demons then nobody will expect them

Persians are overshadowed by better defenses, IMO, but if I were to play them, I'd splash in some demons with Gates of Hell.

I love the Persians. They're fun.

You can use Persian Presidents with Haman, or coupled with a Disciples offense. If you go with the demons, you can also use Two Possessed. You will want Lion's Den, so if you also include Goat with Two Horns, adding Media will give you the option of trying site lockout.

I agree with the Professor that Gomer and Uzzah are good additions, and you could always include Old Faithful - King Zedekiah.

I say that if Persians sound fun, then go with it, regardless of the critics.  ;D

Persian splash isn't a bad idea, really. A possible throw-in of Gallows for TGT and Zeb, and as mentioned, using Gomer and Uzzah with them, along with some demons because of Prince, can make for a winning combo if played right. However, I think in general a mid-sized defense is going to be better off going in the direction of Magicians.

Heh, it's been a few weeks, maybe a month or so. I moderate this board and the ROOT forum. Thanks though. :)

Also Persians help kill a babylonian defence since Bear and Ram each allow you to discard a Babylonian. I would also through in a brown Prince of Greece too since he bands to Prince of Persia.

I played Persians in the 2011 nats. They are great for banding, use wondering spirit and SoT then gomar and then band all of your Persians into battle. KoT isn't a bad idea in this iether ;)
