I really don't see it working. 9 times out of 10 the game will end before your gathering even finishes. I like the concept... but I think a stronger defense is a must.

Post by: BubbleBoy on January 13, 2010, 12:38:05 PM: Yeah. If I were you, I would probably compact the offense to make it focus more on the combos you want to implement, and then add some real heavy-duty defense than can last a good number of turns. Something that might be fun to try if you are afraid of your opponent having the same defensive brigade as you is a Gates of Jerusalem defense, whose EC's will not be protected from your own AoCP when you play it. A Burial Shroud would definitely not hurt this deck either.

Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on January 13, 2010, 02:10:30 PM: Believe me when I say... Combo offenses pretty much REQUIRE a large defense. You need to wait at the least, 4 turns for gathering to finish, and thats if you draw it on the first turn.

Post by: RTSmaniac on January 13, 2010, 03:56:40 PM: so far i have been lucky enough to draw it early. Dont forget that dominants play as defence cards too as well as ls manipulation. I do need help getting rid of protect forts besides Destroyer. add in a trumpet blast? and melchezideck? I also need someway to kill my opponents TGT so only mine works. maybe add astrologers and confusion? I do like the idea of burial shroud though
