So, I was fiddling with some decks in RTS, and I found the below deck that I didn't know I had. Not sure where I got it from, or if I've ever even used it, but I wanted advice on how to update it with Disciples (or whether to just scrap it as entirely useless and crappy) because it seems like an interesting idea.

What am I missing about why red is in there? For example, who is Battle Cry supposed to band in? Thanks.

Um? Not sure. I guess everyone? lol.

My apologies. You are correct that Battle Cry can bring in everyone you want. I was thinking at first it was limited to OT. Other than Peter being a Garden Tomb hero, is still seems to me that red might be better replaced with a Seeker of the Lost, Watchful Servant (Di), Elizabeth and and Fall Like Lightning (Di). And if you want the best use of your Raider's Camp, you want to be able to stop FBTN with more than Esau, like CBP lost soul, Trap of the Devil, Holy of Holies, or Confusion of Mind. Just my first impressions.

Changed the red to your suggestions for gold, and also put the CBP LS in. Any suggestions for what to take out for TotD, HoH, or CoM?
-
Good question. Golden Calf can be fun in a deck like this too. Maybe House in Bethany out for either Golden Calf or Confusion of Mind? Assyria's Tribute would be a valuable defensive addition too if you can find a way to add it.
One more thing I noticed is weakness to Immunity. What about switching out Highway for Ambush the City or Blessing of Joshua? Also, Ehud's Dagger is a better negate than bow and arrow.
-
You'll definitely want Faith as a Mustard Seed in there. It's a better negate than Bow and Arrow, and it can get rid of a demon or occupied site!
Do you have Highway in there for any particular reason?
Elizabeth and Mary of Bethany don't seem particularly useful. Take them out.
Lazarus seems like a great addition (If he dies, you can grab a convert from d/c and rescue again!). Maybe the Good Samaritan and Kindness (negates immunity and ignores an evil brigade) would be useful as well. GS also works with SWJ.
On defense, you'll probably want to add The Rabshakeh's Threats (CBP battlewinner).
-
Forgot about Rab's threats. Very cool card for Assyrians. Kindness is also a great Di card for gold. I suggested Elizabeth because she cannot be captured, which is so popular now with Magic Charms, Go into Captivity and Unholy Writ.
-
Added:
Lazarus, Good Samaritan, Kindness, 2 Lost Souls, The Rabshakeh's Threats
Removed:
Highway
I left Mary of Bethany because presumably she was in there to make a banding chain with Martha and then Lazarus. If that isn't necessary, I can take her out.
