Deck Types

A while ago I wanted to create a bunch of decks that utilized the different concepts (for lack of a better word) in redemption.  Most of which were taking Nationals winners (or top decks) that mostly utilized those concepts or just flat out creating them.  I wanted to bring this back up to see if there were new concepts that should have their own take.  Any thoughts will be helpful, as I'd like to continue this project and even expand it when needed.

So here is what I put together before:

Abom:  Gold/Black, maybe not most effective, but most traditional.

Deck Discard:  Uses Evil Characters that discard cards from deck, and offence that allows me to create side battle (or their own abilities) to do the same.

Decrease: Gates of Samaria Deck.

FBTN: Uses the the BTN guys, and people who could band without being negated, then trying to find useful CBP & CBN enhancements.

FBTNB: Martin Miller's National's winning deck from 2012.

Hand Control / Discard: Josiah Beers' National's winning deck from 2013.

Heroless: Using a large defense with Blinding Light - Saul/Paul.

Paralyze: Utilizes Serpent, Fearfulness, and other Paralyze cards, and tries to stop healing.

Site Lock: Old school, negate access or steal sites.

Speed:  Draw, draw and draw some more.

Turtle: John Early's National's Winning deck from 2015.  Yes I know it doesn't work as well now, but still very effective against newer players.


New Ideas:

Toss: Building around Coliseum, Peace & Roman Spearmen.  Maybe throw in some Brown to include King Saul & Casting Stones.

Please let me know if there is something I'm missing!

I have an offense that is similar to this. I'd say it's a CTB/toss deck. It's a red offense that utilizes Asahel with roman spear, Covenant with Adam, and Coliseum for additional toss damage. I also have the centurions cause they are pretty good on their own with the negates and site access. The only thing i need for this deck is a music leader to recur my sing and praise and soldier's prayer. but, over all, it works pretty well, although i did miss state and regionals, and i was only at Nats for the first day, so i haven't played it in any tournaments yet. But my friend has played against me with a meta deck and we got 4/4 before decking out. he was then able to walk in with josh captain for the win, but all things considered, its a pretty good deck. 



also, this is slightly off topic, but what is a "watergarden" deck? i wasn't playing back then, and so i don't really understand some of the deck names from a few years ago.

Garden tomb splashed with Samaritan Water Jar and NT gold women to help Susanna too.

During playtesting of CoW and even after it released, I built a Coliseum Toss deck based on Ethiopean Treasurer and Letters to the Churches...pretty fun  ;D

Have you checked the REG?
Have you looked it up in ORCID?

Between Holy Spirit able to recur Peace and that combo it is fun for sure.  A couple of (non used) characters to use really good enhancements from other colors that are CBN for Coliseum.
