Hey all! I know nobody liked the Coney deck but I was a big fan playing with or even against it! It was so much fun! So I try to bring it back with Jeshua, the Restorer! I have so many cards in this deck that trigger his ability, and just a lot of amazing draw ability cards in here! so I am open to suggestions and yes if you want to bash the coney deck I have prepared for that XD. But please I am an enthusiast when it comes to constructive criticism. Fire Away!

It is awesome that your playing with this concept.  I think I may tinker with it for awhile as well.  I post any thoughts on it here as well.  Probably won't be until next week though.

This is a fun idea. Got a question for you:

1) TheJaylor remarked on Discord via information from RedemptionAggie that in order to use Jeshua's draw the opponent must be able to verify that the cards you top decked were indeed good cards. You therefore would have to reveal the cards before top decking them in order to draw with Jeshua. With this in mind would Every Tribe (I am assuming also Melchizedek is only here due to him), Faith of Isaac, Philistine Soothsayers, Divination, and Vain Visions actually work with Jeshua? From what TheJaylor explained about the rules?

I have kept every tribe and melkizzy in there for a few reasons.
1 ) melkizzy is a restrict so he is very nice in beginning the game.
2 ) he is a big throw off to the opponent
3 ) every tribe is a good speed card
4 ) every tribe has great numbers
5 ) and a very cool band and can come in clutch

I posted something similar on Discord, but Claudia and Ends don't topdeck the revealed cards - they return to the top by game rule, which wouldn't trigger Jeshua.

Hey all! Just to let you know, I have been testing out my coney deck! It has lost 1 time and I have played around 30 games with it. Some status update.. it is definitely a great deck, but a few notes to add.
1 it is probably not the greatest for tournament use. Reason being is the LS differential is not good. You might win but more often than not it will give the opponent 3-4 lost souls.
2 the speed, it has decked out in the max of 2 turns. Still good but not as fast as the OG coney. Most of the time it decks out in 3-5 turns.
3 it is consistent, it will more than likely set up faster than most decks, ( except maybe Job ). Depending how many hero’s you use with the coney. You can set up really quick. What I mean by that is if you put coney on any hero then the effects of coney can be... well watered down. If you put it on a character such as let’s say the faithful priests from I think early church? It will not be as effective as a hero such as Saul/Paul.
4 as good as having a solid defense is.. it isn’t the greatest for this deck. I suggest having the smallest defense possible. I now run a 5 character grey defense. Reason being is because the more good cards you have in the deck the faster and beefier Jeshua gets! Ik it is hard to but try to make your coney deck at least 65% good. And that means doms being mostly good. I have been contemplating switching out CM for a Grapes. So little things like that may be the pro play here.
5 the cards you play are important, it is good not to throw in any good card that looks speedy. Ik you guys promise already know this but I am going to try to put my 2 cents in about it just in case you might need some help. It is good to look at the whole card effect. To look at the first half the second half and the star ability ( if possible ) and then compare it to the next card. And see if you can get more out of the next card than you can the first! Like let’s say I put in eye on it. But I also saw a soldiers prayer ! Now compare to see which one would be better. First I would look at abilities and see a soldiers prayer is probably better! But then I see I only have 1 hero to play it on. While eye on it has clay and I can use it on all but one hero that I have! So I would probably put in eye on it over a soldiers prayer. Little changes like that can go a loooooong way.


I totally expected a lot of push back when it came to this deck because it was so annoying XD so I
appreciate all the positive criticism and critique! Thank you so much guys! I probably have a few more points to make but I can’t remember them right now. Ik you are ALL pro players and will take in this info and do better than I probably could! I wanna keep this deck alive, the OG creator really thought outside the box on this one. And so I am trying to do the same 😊 I love this deck in all its ways and hope that it will be a big challenge in the future! So if you guys have any pointers or deck lists I would love to here and see them 🥰. ( BTW I was wondering what you guys thought about changing the name of the deck. Idk what the OG creator had in mind when he named it coney. But I like the name Fruit Ninja better or something like that. )
