How does the draft work now that we have two sets of tins?
-
You can just use 19 tins now. At Nats, we used the enw 9, but you can use all 19 if you want.
-
More correctly there will be 4 versions of draft.
FoOFter Draft
RoAter (pronounced rooter) Draft
RoOFter Draft
Regular Draft (packs)
-
RoAter (pronounced rooter) Draft
I think I heard someone call it "roaster" draft at Nationals.
-
Fair enough, RoAster draft it is.
-
if i were you, i'd stick to 1 solid defensive brigade. Say on the first turn, or any turn, if you have, like, a black character and grey enhancements,
you're stuck. It may not happen too often, but it's realistic.
-
I think Pleading for the City, CotH, and Seraphim are all fairly unnecessary. You should put in Zebulun instead; he's much more useful.

Except all your heroes have to be genesis. He has angels.
Dude, Are you copying me? :P jk, I used a rome/greek secret offensive combo deck for a while. It never allowed 5 ls, out of seven games, and I only lost one of those. It's pretty powerfull. The only thing that can stop it is garden tomb, since you have no protection. But other than that, you're set. But add in unknown nation, gic, and unholy writ(I don't remember if you had them or not). And maybe the cannot be prevented ls and asherah pole. And make is 63. Defensive deck should be 63 cards.
EDIT: take out confusion of mind, miracle hanky and Davi'ds harp for the 3 arts I mentioned that you don't have.

-
Ah, I see. Well, I think keep coth. He pretty much just wins.

Not against Sadducees.

I belive it's Zebulen that doesnt' work against Sadducces.
-
Sadducees are easy to beat in a dedicated Genesis deck. Jacob+Cap, play Numerous as the Stars or Answer to Prayer to grab a high-numbers character, and that's it.
-
It isn't that simple - especially when your opponent uses the High Priests, which alone are like 30/30.

Intent to kill, wrath of satan, joseph in prison, etc., massive banding chain. They have many ways to stop you, besides just banding.
-
Uh...did you not notice Captain...?

Did you notice that banding is the LAST thing you want to allow sadducces to do....? All you are doing in that situation is killing yourself. Plus, intent to kill cannot be prevented.
-
No, your versoin of the deck took it out. Good call there, not. Zeublun<<Cap'n.

On top of that ya got sanhedrin for more banding fun.
Something sort of ironic about it is, you've got all this big banding w/sadducees, and in the same brigade, you have 12 fingered giant, to stop all of it.
It's sorta weird. :-\
