I want to build two decks, each with a 2 color offense. Which should i pick? I don't mind have one of the colors show up in both decks....

1. green*
2. purple
3. teal
4. white*

*for sure what to use, not necessarily together...

I agree with Pol. Other popular combinations are:

Silver + Blue
Purple + Red (Disciples mostly)
White (TGT mostly) + Pretty much anything except Blue and Silver

mhmm

Green + Gold

Stand-alone.

brown orange pale green.
King M
Women as Snares
Gomer
KOT
Wandering Spirit
SWS
SOT
Hamans Plot
DOU
Forgotten History
Gates of J
Gates of H
and finally Elymas.

DOU?

Death O' Uzzah
And if you want to have a good deck, do not go stand-alone.

What do you recommend?

Q- put this in what you consider order of best to worst....

phillies w/outpost
demons w/gates
crimson w/idk
pale green w/idk
grey w/idk
brown w/idk

1. Crimson (Babylonians) ~ Rockin' characters, lotso' battlewinners + interrupts, just a very solid, powerful defense (my pers. fav )

2. Demons/Gates ~ Rockin' characters, lotso' banding, immune to conversion, CB ignored w/ Golgotha, very solid if built well

3. Brown Persians/Judeans ~ Very viable w/ new Di cards, and CB ignored w/ Haman's Gallows. Good recursion, great characters, great enhancements, great overall defense (King Manasseh! )

4. Grey Pharisees ~ Pharisees over Romans b/c they don't give inish every battle like the Emperors, and are very effective against NT offenses (also work better w/ a manipulative offense). It's kinda funny that Emperors are strong against Pharisees' weakness (FBTN) and Pharisees are good against Emperors' weakness (inish) so a combo of those two could be interesting... If you want to go old school and use Syrians, good luck; they haven't gotten support for the last two sets, so they'll be by-the-book grey. Your opponent might know what you'll do before you do.

5. PG Magicians w/ Demons ~ I prefer Magicians over Assyrians, b/c of the compatibility w/ demons. Lotso' recursion, deck manipulation, banding, sneaky battlewinners (Worshiping Demons, DOU, etc.)

6. Phillys/Outpost ~ This was easily the defense I saw the most last year, but it didn't get any support this set, and Nazareth killed Outpost, so if someone has Naz+C.P., unless u have Benedictus, your Land Dispute isn't going to help u. Phillies also tend to get rocked by conversion and ignore...

The only defense o' the above that I'm not using right now is Emperors and Phillies/Outpost. You didn't mention Gold (Herods), which I would put at number 2 spot for their CBP awesomeness, and the withdraw theme (which is hard to protect from). Herod's Temple+Golgotha+Chorazin+C.P. make them almost invincible .

I remind you, these are my personal preferences. You can do a Stand-alone or Philly Outpost defense if u want to (I dare you! ), but small defenses in general won't be as effective as last year.

Mine is mostly that minus a few cards. That list will do for a basic idea of a Herods defense.

I decided to switch up my offense idea.

I'm going to build a blue & grey deck.

I'm also going to build a green/ _____ & crimson deck

-suggestions for second offensive color for the decks? how about defense for the second deck?
I like...
good- gold, teal, purple
evil- crimson, black, palegreen

I'm also going to build a white/ ______ & _______ deck

deck 1: teal

Deck 2: purple, black

which black strategy?

phillies

Phillys are dead.
