Right now the offense is one less card than the defense. Point of the deck is to drop your characters down and have 0 cards in your hand for Zebulun. Once you get out Zebulun do not put down Captain and discard Numerous as the Stars and keep using Jacob/RTC till you have no cards in hand. Game takes about 10 turns unless they get a good hand. Usually they never see it coming either. Let me know what needs to go in or come out.

I think if the idea is to get everything down right off the bat for Zeb, you'd be better served using less duplicate characters, but thats just me.

Add 1 Junbalee for the extrea card for the good.

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #3 on:** December 14, 2009, 03:19:02 PM »

If anything I would do Zebulun x3 but that is the least i would do because first turn I would like to have a Zebulun and 1-2 cards in my hand.

Wanderer · « **Reply #4 on:** January 04, 2010, 02:12:50 PM »

How about Angel at Shur to search for Zebby or whoever.

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #5 on:** January 04, 2010, 04:42:46 PM »

Then Zebby's ability would not work.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #6 on:** January 04, 2010, 04:45:05 PM »

Yeah it would, Shur is Genesis.

Haha, doh! Guess I might have to throw him in there.

Too one-dimensional for my liking. Golden Calf shuts down your offense entirely. The Anti-ignore LS shuts down most of your offense.

That being said, a couple ideas I would consider...

Bronze Laver could help by letting you place duplicate ECs on bottom of deck so you can draw non-duplicates or other cards that can be put down. I am Holy gives you a way to dump duplicate Heroes to decrease your hand before attacking. Angel at Shur is a definite add. The Tabernacle would let you have 3 artifacts active at once, which is a good counter to Captured Ark. If you have to use Captain early, then a set aside card or two would allow you to move Captain out of play for Zebulun to work.

RTSmaniac · « **Reply #10 on:** January 14, 2010, 01:17:17 AM »

so captured ark x2? at least maybe...

The Guardian · « **Reply #11 on:** January 14, 2010, 03:47:29 AM »

Yeah if not x3. You could also probably drop Blue Tassels because Captured Ark would take care of opponents' Writs while not interfering with your own.

I had a deck that functioned very similar to this last year. When it worked, it worked great (an opening Zeb won me a couple games 7-0 against seasoned T2 players) but it also had some glaring weaknesses. The deck was 9-0-1 against 6 different people when I played it online.

2   Seven Wicked Spirits
1   Lying Unto God
2   Destructive Decay
2   Deceit of Sapphira
1   Great Image
1   Set Fire

The PO's didn't work out nearly as well as I expected. I think I actually cut down to 3 at one point and would probably consider taking them out all together if I were to play this again.

Do people use Golden Calf though? If I saw it I would add counters but as of now everything is so focused on O.T. that I never see it.

The Anti-ignore LS shuts down most of your offense.

Yes I know I hate it.
Sad thing is I do not have even one Captured Ark. Also the main part of the offense is Zeb/Jacob ignore but I can also ignore in battle or do a Capn band. But yes it is not very versatile. It is mostly a win in the first fifteen minutes. Gabe, I like your deck and especially like the Primary Objective's but I know how those go. Better in theory then in practice. Also Justin thank you and I agree with your suggestions pretty much. I will go over what you said and implement most of the strategies you guys commented about and re post.

i had captured ark as the promo for the tourney you missed yesterday...

a destructive sin would be good to throw in to negate a Pharoah's Throne Room.

Nice try young one, but last I checked PTR wasn't a good Fort.

Destructive Sin
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Orange • Ability: None • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place on a Hero. While this card remains, negate special abilities on that Hero and its owner's good Fortresses and Covenants.

this is what I get for automatically burning all orange cards I get...

You got tired of eating them? Orange Panic Demons aren't the most tastey little critters.

I should have clarified. the only orange brigade cards I get nowadays are TexP, and foil is NASTY. like honestly, I felt like I was going to die... also, they look funny when burning. heat screws them up enough, but in a fire they're even more creative at bending...

on a side note, why Nero over Garrison?
