Title: NT Prophets/Sadducees
Post by: BubbleBoy on September 09, 2010, 12:43:25 PM
I started with Green and evil Gold because my pre-Disciples T2 deck had been Prophets/Egyptians. The first thing I noticed was that Herod's Temple could be nice, especially since Herod the Great can search for it, so I decided to completely New Testamentize my deck (or at least the characters), and went from there. This is a rough draft of the deck:

Good: 38

Agabus
Anna x2
Joanna
John the Baptist x2
Micah x2
Paladin
Saint Patrick x2
Simeon x3
Faithful Servant

Behold the Lamb x2
Baptism of Jesus x2
David’s Music x2
Habakkuk Stands Watch x3
New Priestly Duty x2
Provisions
Search x3
Two Bears

Herod’s Temple x2
Obadiah’s Caves

Angel of the Lord
Grapes of Wrath
Harvest Time
Son of God

Evil: 38

Alexander
Disbelieving Sadducees x3
High Priest Ananias x2
High Priest Annas
High Priest Caiaphas x2
Sadducees x6
Scribe

Devourer
Foolish Advice x3
High Priest's Plot x3
Intent to Kill
Joseph in Prison x2
Pride of Simon x2
Questioning Christ x3
Just a Hireling

Captured Ark x2
Peter's Curse

High Priest's Palace x2

Christian Martyr

Neutral: 29

Chariot of Fire x2
Hidden Treasures x2
Lampstand of the Sanctuary x2
Unholy Writ x3
Urim and Thummim x2

Golgotha x2

Hopper x2

Thorns x2
*/4 x2
Female x2
Punisher
Speed Bump
Anti-Draw x2
NT X2
Revealer x2


I appreciate all advice. :)

Hm, I could have sworn there was a thread where they confirmed all Herods to be kings of Judah. But the REG says otherwise, and it was also before Disciples came out...so I'm not sure. :-\

Is Herod the Great seriously not considered a king of Judah?

None of the Herods are considered Kings of Judah.  They are all Jewish Kings which is different.

Herod Agrippa II is listed incorrectly in the REG.  He's not a King of Judah.  *ducks*

So you're saying he is a king of Judah, but is not a king of ducks...right?

Are you sure about a solid NT offense? Romans Destroy Jerusalem would own your offense.

I have multiples of almost every one of my heroes. Romans Destroy Jerusalem is not that big a threat, especially since it's only one per deck. I'm pretty sure there is no one card or theme that would own my offense. Maybe having a few OT prophets would be good, but I would like to be able to use my NT-only enhancements unrestricted.

I would like to see you offence help your defence a little more with like golgotha+abe's kid to get back JaH so u need a splash of blue and Nathan also. this will help against any pesky combo decks as well but you need something for CtB. needs more.

Post by: BubbleBoy on January 19, 2011, 07:03:09 PM
I don't think it's wise splashing blue in just to recur JaH. The green looks shaky enough as is.

I tried a Green T2 offense and I'm not a big fan. KotW shut down my provisions and I didn't really have many ways around heretics. My best offense ended up being Abel's Sacrafice+Baptism of Jesus. Didn't see that coming with all the other battle winners like 2 bears and plague of frogs being in my deck.

I think you mean that he was a king of ducks, but then the ducks died, he died, etc...

This deck needs another evil dominant added to it.

If Herod the great isn't a king of judah someones gonna have to let me into the secret board. Look at historical context on herod then check his identifier if king of judah isn't there it will appear in the mythacal 'New REG"(TM) (none of this is meant in an offensive manner I promise!)

He wasn't a king of Judah.... He was a king of JUDEA.

Same thing. Same amount of land if you think about it. Same people.
Same thing. And yes I knew about that honest.
