The main idea of this deck is to make your oponent draw souls FAST. it would be used in conjunction with another similary built deck. There were a couple fortresses i had to take out for the other deck to use. Such as storehouse. You want to win in about 3 turns with this deck, but it could go slow if you have a horrible draw. Please Comment And Critique

If you want to win in 3 turns why have gathering in ur deck? In all reality it takes about 6 turns to pull off gathering. unless you get the enhance and the characters you want first turn.

yeah i thought about that after i posted it lol. it is kind of back up, but i may take it out just to take up less space.
the idea was to gather attending to et and then i can search and destroy lol.
-
Speed demon is definitely the wrong word... maybe just offense heavy. The offense does work... but it's not all that fast, imo.
Although I must say, I'd love to make an all defense deck and work with this. ;)
-
why do you say it isnt fast? besides this is only half of the team. the other player has throne of david.
-
its not fast enough. get all of the drawing cards, hur, gifts (if you start playing with gifts and drawing in teams things get crazy ;D and probably some guys who can draw...plus it should be 50 not 55
-
yeah i was thinking about hur, problem is i would have to incorporate some green battle winners, which would in tern make it even harder to win fast, though hur would give me some extreme speed...
-
you use hur and gifts once with Aotl and then again as a sacrifice ;D
-
yeah i know.. but it is sometimes hard having the right cards.. i played prof with this deck and lost miserably (it wouldve been 5-2) it didnt draw things fast enough...
-
right it's 55 the point of a speed deck is to win 3 ra's and get SoG/NJ

yes. and in teams win in 2 turns. lol. what should i take out then? my z temple stuff? thats just for if the going gets tough.
-
I concur that any fine tuned speed deck should be 50 cards, no more. There are very few exceptions to that.
If you take out:
Commissioned
Gomer
King Zimri
all 3 Crimson Enhancements
Emperor Claudius
You'll have room to add King of Tyrus and still be at 50 cards.
-
I'd also personally kill Lurking for Orange PoTW so you have 2 of 1 color just in case of TGT...
-
By very few exception Gabe means one - Haman's Plot.

is that legal now? and if so how? and remember this is only one half of the team

No, you cannot have 2 PotW. Caleb must have overlooked the (crimson???) PotW that's already on your decklist. I'd use the orange one if you also add the orange KoT for the reason Caleb already stated.
-
sorry the crimson threw me I was looking for PG or orange

considering you're a teams champ, do you have any good advice gabe?

That was the one and only time I've ever played teams so I'm no expert on the format. I can tell you what we did but I'm not sure that's really the best plan, it just happened to work for us that day.
I played a speed deck with tons of offense and banding chains, similar to your deck. I also had all the dominants. We loaded Kevin's deck with defense, I am Creator and a few guys that could borrow my banding chains. Kevin had no Dominants since (in theory) I would draw them all first. That kept us from having useless cards in either of our decks.
My best advice is to get an awesome partner like, Kevin Shride. Having a great partner in teams will carry you a long way. :)
-
I agree with Gabe.
I got second... and we lost to Gabe. I can vouch for the fact that all offense and all defense is a good strategy. Gabe was stalled a few turns... but of course a deck of all offense won against our balanced decks pretty quickly. And Kevin could have bought him all day with that defense. ;D
-
still... if you have two decks that have the right cards, you can win in 3 turns. my deck will draw very quickly if set up right, and it will produce 3 souls per deck.
-
I still disagree. I doubt your deck could get past my 56 card all defense deck I made. I'm not saying this to be arrogant... but I think that an all defense deck can beat an all offense deck... especially since evil got the main boost in Thesaurus.
-
yeah but think about it, all i need is an et, and maybe another bander or two and i can draw a whole lot. besides, did ydou use kings in you're defense?
-

You're on Caleb. Haha, this is so off topic. ;D
This deck will not be able to block almost anything... I'd make it ALL defense and have a partner with some serious defense.

Heroless is the Dominant strategy in teams? :o

Sorry, I meant have this ALL offense.
