you dont want mayhem in a site deck. in fact, you probably want to stop it with lampstand.
-
Well the sitelocking looks solid, but how do you plan on winning?

It's just in there temporarily until someone suggests a card to put in. It's helpful for if I don't draw sites the first or second turn.

Zebulun.
-
Um, there's no Zeb in there.
-
Hmmm, you're right.
Benjamin should be Zebulun.
-
im surprised to see no sisera, with your plethora of babylons.
-
I don't plan on playing any red where I am, so I didn't bother. I suppose it wouldn't hurt, considering Alexander is only in there because I couldn't decide on another character.
-
how come no pergamum?
-
One big issue on offense is site access. I would replace Jubilee with Journey to Egypt and Goshen with Kerith Ravine. Also, I would take out Mayhem and Alexander to put in Asherah Pole and Sisera. (You might want another space for a healing card or something, and if so, I would take out Simon the Magician and scratch A-Pole to add Carcasses.) Other than that, this all looks pretty good. :)
-
if zeb is your one-trick-pony, you definately need more ways to protect him. what do you do if they cm/don your cof? confusion of mind? paralyzer card with high places? ioj/ds placed on him?
you should definately think about these things and tech against them.

I guess I'll be playing red this fall. ;)

Two things:
1. I really do appreciate the advice. But this is just one of my many decks, that once players in my area realize what I'm playing and how to stop it, then it will be stopped and I move on to the next.
2. I don't appreciate being talked to like a noob. I'm not going to throw statistics at you, but I've been playing this game for some time now and know what I'm doing (and I'm sure others will back that up), I'm just simply new to sitelock (and only have a type-1 deck because Texas isn't too type-2 friendly yet).
Journey to Egypt is going in for Jubilee. -- I can never remember to put that card in my genesis decks, not sure why.
Aggie, and for that reason is why I have my other deck with the same amount of cards and sleeve color, just for you and possibly Chad if he ever learns that site access is not all that reliable. :P

The offense isn't gonna win. There are now WAY too many ways to stop zebulen to base a deck on him, imo. ONE place card and you lose the game. Resting that much on him... not sure that's gonna work too well. The element of surprise is good... but it's not gonna win it for you very consistently imo.
As for defense... looks solid. I'd take out holy of holies for the black place card, to negate hero abilites that gain access or hurt you a lot.

I don't plan on it to win consistently, I'm not a competitive Type-1 player. But due to there not really being any serious Type-2 players here in my area, I build several different Type-1 decks to use at tournaments. They never know what to prepare for, which teaches newer players to prepare for everything. The next deck that I have (that I'll post as soon as I get everything fixed in it) is my personal favorite that can win consistently.
Black place card... hmmm... I'll have to go find it. :P
-
It's from priests! ;)
-
Why no outpost?

Isn't everything? ::)

Meh. I don't see that card as being too necessary in a 50 card deck.

I'm not a serious T2 player? ;)

Depends, are you going to come to all of the tournaments? ::)
-
Outpost gets your Armorbearer or Garrison from Discard pile as well. That's too good to miss out on.

Well if the sitelockout works how it's supposed to, it shouldn't matter. ;D

PO + Garrison is still the best delay in the game. Besides, you can essentially choose your blocker from the minute you draw it. Garrison for lones 12FG for bands or anything you have in hand/territory.
