One of the best enhancements to play on your green prophet with Hidden Treasures is Spiritual Warfare. I've found that people overlook it sometimes because it's multicolored so it's not on their list of green enhancements. Sure, it doesn't do much against an orange defense but who plays with orange...

I'd cut Visions to fit it in. Even if you don't like that idea I'd still change Visions to Sword of the Lord since the later works with Hidden Treasures and the former does not.

I like this deck because it looks like it would be fun to play.

Suggestion: I would swap out Corrupted for Two Possessed by Demons. 2PD lets you take out two characters (good and/or evil) as opposed to one good character for Corrupted. As a side benefit, if you are trying to shrink down your opponent's list of ECs to use TGT (which you can't do with Corrupted) there is no protection against 2PD.

Nit-Picks: In an Irish deck, I'm pretty sure the correct spelling of the 9/7 Green Prophet's name is O'Badiah.

you need a green negate. benaiah snatches a spear would be the one you want; on benaiah, it's name-on-name bonus, it negates the enhancement and redirects
the numbers on that enhancement and it can't be negated. Asherah pole could hurt your deck

i wouldn't advise using it. Wickedness removed could help; it's
amazing! it helps draw lost souls when there are none, it does its name sake and is very useful w/HT. I used it once and removed a guy's captured ark, DON and Judas iscariot FROM THE GAME!

Did i mention it put a women's ls in his territory?

Duh, I can't believe I missed that. Thanks!

I will try that, thanks.

I do have Swords into Plowshares, which is nice because it discards evil weapons as well. It also has a strength of 3, which means I can discard it to Patrick and then get it back with Micah. Benaiah Snatches a Spear would be nice for its CBN though... hmm.

I might have missed something there, but how so?

I love Wickedness Removed, and I use it in my silver deck. It also has a strength of 3, which would be nice as a backup in case I needed something to discard to Patrick. I'm just not sure if I want to pull a battle winner out to make room for it, but I will think about that one.

You have benaiah, micah, joel, nahum and o'badiah. They're all OT and form more than half your offense. that's how $:-\$ Same thing goes for golden calf.

Tsavong Lah · « **Reply #8 on:** January 18, 2009, 12:07:42 AM »

Are you thinking of Golden Calf? G-Calf does hurt my O.T. heroes, but I usually don't activate it if I'm planning on rescuing with the prophets. You might be on to something though. Any suggestions as to what should go in instead?

Captain Falcon · « **Reply #9 on:** January 18, 2009, 12:17:16 AM »

I don't see much site access... at all, besides nahum.

Maybe replacing A. pole w/ priestly crown for the OT heroes and g cow with ends of the earth for the NT heroes would help. You may not always use them, but having them at your disposal ~~might~~ will come in handy.

Tsavong Lah · « **Reply #10 on:** January 18, 2009, 02:50:17 AM »

Nice catch. Updated.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #11 on:** January 18, 2009, 06:55:39 AM »

Yeah, site access is one of my main concerns. I always have to have at least four different ways to get it in every deck I make, or I won't be able to live with myself.

"O'Badiah"

Visions used to, but it was pulled for S.Warfare.
