Title: Churches and corresponding evil characters
Post by: Watchman on July 18, 2017, 08:02:53 PM
I'm building some decks that are heavily themed. I'd like to know which church would go best (biblically speaking) with heretics and also with Greeks. Thus far I have Jerusalem Church with a Pharisee/Sadducees defense, and NT prophets with NT magicians, Martyrs with Romans.

Thanks in advance!

Corinth could be your Greek deck.

I just made the Jerusalem heroes/Deacons offense with a Pharisees/Sadducees defense. I can't wait to try it out. :)

Colossae goes with heretics. Ephesis goes with Greeks and/or magicians.

I have not had time to browse the EC and PC cards, but I am assuming these themed churches are from those sets, and those cards are linked by reference and such?  I have been so busy with everything, I really have not had time to just sit down and look through the sets thoroughly.   Out of curiosity, how many heroes/enhancements and Evil Characters/enhancements do you use in your decks?  Is there a typical amount?

Yes, the churches are from EC and PC and the two Clay support heroes from CoW (Faithful leaders and Watchful leaders).

The two Competitor Decks you purchased from me are pretty much the standard make up of each Competitor deck with a couple of variations from time to time. Typicaly I'll use the standard make up below. Sometimes I'll add in an extra hero or evil character or one less good and/or evil enh and put in a puppet more dual alignment enhs or characters. It just depends on the theme of the deck and what cards work best with it. I also try and have a good representation of different abilities such as warrior class characters/weapon class enhs, territory class characters and/or enhs, etc, since the purpose of these decks is to take the new player to the next level of competitive play and introduce them to the different types of cards that are not in the starter decks such as artifacts, covenants/Curses, Sites, fortresses, etc.  And, of course, each deck comes with a deck box and sleeves.

50 cards

5 Dominants
7 souls (4 with abilities and 3 without)
1 or 2 artifacts
1 Covenant
1 Curse
1 Good Fortress
1 Evil Fortress
1 Site
1 or 2 Dual Alignment Cards (different types)
8 heroes
7 good enhs
8 ECs
7 evil enhs

Colossae goes with heretics. Ephesis goes with Greeks and/or magicians.

Sweet. Thanks sir. How about Philippians, Thessalonians and Corinthians?

If you are going theme then those would work for the Greek deck(s).

Just looked over the TEC and TPC sets, never realized there were so many church themes...hate that each new set seems to cause older sets to be obsolete in some ways.
