I used to have this deck, you see.  It pwned.  It went 21-0, 6-7 of those wins in tournament play(Equaling a district and a local win).  In it's run it beat BrianGabe, TimMeirz, JDS, RR, Lambo, and a good percentage of the people on the boards.

Then, I played a game against Chronic Apathy I think, and it was one heck of a nail- biter.  4-4.  I was going to win next turn.  He makes an RA I can't counter...my streak...goes bye-bye.  I win the rematch, but my flawless record is over.  I then play TimMeirz and a couple of other people, losing some to Tim and one to someone else.  That set my record down to 25-4.  After losing 3 out of 6 games, I took a break for awhile.

Well, I came back after RoA released.  I played another game with the champ, and got mauled by the new cards.  And I mean severely mauled.  I'm talking 0-6 stuff.  This was very disapointing to me.  But, I bounced back. 

I made an incredible amount of test decks...they all didn't do to great.  I took another break from the game 3 months ago untill now.  Heroscape took all my Redemption time away in those three months.    Anyway, I decided to modify that champion deck offense a massive way.  I am currently 2-0 with it, as my signature tells you.  I'm considering revamping the defense into Egyptians like the old champ had, but time will tell.

___________________________________________________________________________
In my last game, the offense completely ravaged a huge defense.  I converted 6 guys, killed 3 more, and the demons left over were cake to my Demon killers.  Oh and...my opponent Gabrieled my AoC and most of my green enhancements. 

Anyone have any tips?  Suggestions?  All comments are also welcome.

Notables From the Last Game:

-Used Golden Lampstand twice!
-Used Repentance succesfully twice!
-Didn't use AoC!
-Only used two purple enhancements, and only made two RA's with Purple heroes!
-All my succesful RA's were made with the green section of my offense!
-I made alot of BC's!
-I decked out!
-Regardless of all these things, I won 5-2!
-I didn't let a single Lost Soul get out of my LoB through means of Heroes!

I like this deck the only issue I see is when it hits a solid defense it has major issues pushing through.

Do you remember what deck I used when you beat me? I played you quite a bit at one point last (school) year, and I'm guessing it was in there sometime, but I had a few different decks I was trying out then.

It was your nats deck, or a variation of it.  Yeah, I lost my last game 5-4...I need to modify my offense again. 

and random question, I don't EVER remember this deck beating me...O_o; Could you refresh my memory?

Wasn't THIS deck...it was Purple/White + Gold defense.

Oh oh OHHHH misread, thought you meant THAT deck has, I was like O_o; waaah?

Hey, at least your a notable. 

Why no Two Bears? That's one of the best enhancements in the game.

VERY true

I cant find Golden Lamp Stand in the reg?  What is the SA on this card?


Also, I would add FSP, search (foof) and Great faith to get to the important enhancemtns and cards more quickly


If you went with Egyptians, I think TKP's egypt defense is good ( I have one of my own) but it is at 70 cards sooo start with that and see if it can be slimmed down and and still work

Golden Lamp Stand has no SA(St. Pattywack)

And I LOVE egyptians.  I haven't played in like..8 months...
