Land Purchase
Few things about the deck:
- I want to add the 2-liner LS, but don't know which other LS to take out for it
- Should I add Phinehas (teal) for CBN use of Zeal? He wouldn't see much play otherwise, though, 'cus of not having initiative most of the time...
- Should I take out Widow and add another low-numbered royal hero?
- My defense (since I don't have enough to do a true standalone defense) seems too spread out, as I only have one EC in each brigade that can use the 1-2 enh. of that brigade. It almost seems as if I wouldn't draw well most of time. So, what should I take out and what should I put in to make it stay the same size (if not reduce it a little)? Uzzah, PotW, Trembling Demon, and Red Dragon are obviously staying, but what else should change?
Thanks for the help!!!

Take out anti-angel, for sure. The deck looks pretty good, but I'd add pentacost and Phinehas, son of Eleazar and take out AoI and CoF, but that's just me.

I'll take out the Anti-Angel.
I don't have Pentacost.
Should I take out CoF for Phinehas, or one of my Teal Heroes?
Why take out AoI and CoF? CoF lets me get back my heroes (if they are d/c'ed), though I guess I don't need it. But, AoI is fodder for Uzzah, protects all of my characters but ET, and makes Burning Incense CBN.
Thanks for the advice - just want to know why so I can get better at deck building!
-
Cof... this deck can become very fast. Typically you want to win before your opponent can discard enough of your heroes. You attack with one hero a turn and then you win. :)
-
Okay, so CoF is out for Phinehas. Any other "critiques"? Thanks in advance!
-
Take out Prince of the Air. Put in king of tyrus, I'm sure anyone would agree. If you don't have him(preferably orange), I'd put in either torment to heal a guy or seven sons of sceva(preferably seven sons). Let me know if you have any of those cards.
-
I do have Seven Sons of Sceva, so I'll be putting him in, as I don't have KoT in either brigade.
-
theres this huge problem right up top....its the number 6, LOWER IT! otherwise its not speed
-
He's incorrect. It's speed-ish, not speed. And I made a 56 card speed deck and took 1st at the last tourney. I've found that taking out those 6 cards isn't as big of a difference as you might think. Not to mention that your deck, once again, isn't speed and I think is good at 56. :)
-
Well, that's why I added the "semi" before "speed", because I don't have anywhere near the number of speed cards needed to make a proper speed deck. :laugh: ::) ;D
