Upgraded I/J decks

I decided to upgrade starter decks for more advanced games between my brother and I. I have no RoA, TXP, FooF2, RoA2 cards, and only four Disciples cards, so I am working with an "outdated" bunch of cards.

My main question is not what to add for the meta or tournament play... but rather, are these two decks balanced with each other?

I gave each deck a single use curse rather than standard arts. No forts or sites (I would have added Rome, but that "...except for orange" line is rather sad in this context)

The I deck isnt half bad. If you walked into a tourney with that deck I would expect you to place in the top half.

The J deck while having a better offense... I just dont really like the look of the orange you have going on there.... I would almost recommend just dumping the orange for a pure Romans defense. Get your self the Rock of Ages Roman tin and throw in some filler Grey characters (Nero, Four Squads of Four, The False Prophet, False Prophets ect.) and enhancements (False Prophesy, some banding cards like Lurking, False Peace ect.) and you are set to go.

Annnnd I just read the post all the way through.... yeah sure the decks are balanced :P

The LS are rather unbalanced. Both decks should have 2/3 liners or none should if you want balance.
If you were to go on a trip... where would you like to go?
