For defense I would put in 2 Great Images. They are great. If you want more info about contact The Hobbit13 he can tell you about great Images in T2 multi.

I'd be careful about putting in Daniel referenced heroes because they will nerf your neb. Also Neg with Horse is your best bet for playing some really nasty hits on your opp. He can still int, draw 2, and then play Head of Gold all with Iron Pan up on zek. I'd put a Nerg in for one of your bab soldiers.

I really like this deck but do not think this will consistently block. The Banquet's are good, but everything else is negateable. I can see you having to give up points due to negates/not having a battle winner.

Nergal is all the CBN that Babs need.

And It does not look like there is a Nergal in this deck so I suggest adding 2.

Nergalsharezer x2
There is, but he might want more to make up for the lack of CBNs.

Don't forget that unless it's prevented, Banquet does just as good.  Plus Invoking Terror is *fist-shake* worthy and can do the job as well (in addition to forming a nice combo).

You sure about that? Not only is he so easy to get rid of, no real protection, but without his chariot he is nothing. Also it's a lot harder to keep chariots now a days.

I can try it without the Daniel heroes, but I can't decide if I should splash in some teal or use the N.T. prophet band instead.

Any suggestions on something to change?

I would replace 1 Head o' Gold with 1 Great Image. How has Iron Pan worked for you?

Done. I'll also take out Nebushasban for another one. I find that Iron Pan tends to help the offense more than the defense (Usually stopping my opponents horses/ Protect from captures).

you might consider another HQ @ Riblah. Along with providing protection, it will help get rid of the plethora of captured heroes you may have accumulated.

Just thought of this but If your playing T2 you'll want much more than just 1 Nebushasban. Because of the choose the soul rule he can be an autoblock.

The switch of the LS causes a switch in targets, so if your opponent has access to the LS you switched for, it becomes the new chosen soul. It can be an autoblock if you switch for the female or NT only and he's attacking with an OT male. Or something like that, I don't play much T2, so I'm not 100% sure.

I'll vouch for the effectiveness of this deck - It could just be that it matches up really well against my deck - But I don't think that's all - I think it's for real. People really underestimate just how much of a mess Iron Pan can be for quite a few offences, and defenses for that matter, the fact that it can be activated with another art is just gravy.

I agree this deck gave the deck I used at the t2 only some fits shutting down Thaddeus protection, ET's play, all my drawing, and basically pharisees in general.  Thankfully I was running ark x 3, and a ton of anti capture stuff (the new covenant, blue tassels, and bart)......  Plus the offensive build is well thought out w/ the angels getting around all the charms and writs out there.
