About To Flip A Coin Or Other Random Stuff

I am planning to get two more ROA tins (I only have enough for two).  I know what the first one will be (go prophets :D).  I'm stuck on the second one.  Here's the set-up:

I have my Genesis/Babylonian deck that already has Genesis ROA tin in it.  I consider it my main deck (especially since it has my only DON in it).  I would love to add tin 12 to complete my deck.  However....

My second main deck (I have four btw but these two are my "main" main :P) is my prophet/egyptian deck.  Tin 17 would greatly enhance the defense stratagy (deck discard).  I also can use one of the good enhancement with my prophets (Wickedness Removed).

The down side to both of these tins is that I do not use any of the offensive side on each tin (so only a little more than half of the tin has use to me (in fact, one of my home play-grouper has a silver/gold offense so he will be happy with whichever I choose :P)).

Since I am getting the prophet tin, the decks would be somewhat even.  The additional tin would of-set it (though not necessarily too much).

So which one should I get?  Tin 12 to enhance my Babs or Tin 17 to enhance my Egyptians?  Or should I just get another tin that would help one of my other four decks (especially since I just lost my Greek defense in one because I gave it to one of the home play-goupers*)

God Bless

*I have four main decks that I have the best of the best cards in them.  I have these for fun battles and to use in tournaments (for all you Arcadians, if you remember Regional last year, Lalo was using my Egyptian deck and Chris Mock was using my Sadducee deck (my fourth deck is a brown site lock)).  Since my other home play-groupers didn't have the top cards available, I made two other decks that would make it even with them (that was after I made three other decks so the card selection was also low).  My four main decks are always open to them to use if they want to (especially at any tournaments (though to make sure they have fun, I tell them not to expect to win (considering the Wolf pack is always there and....ouch (though a fun ouch :P)))).  Anyways, in case you were wondering what I was rambling about :P.

I would go with the Egyptian tin. Striking Herod has a good value and the rest are useful to your deck. The Babylonians are awesome without RoA's help, although the new cards are definitely useful (especially Desecrate the Temple).

... I'd switch your decks around! I'd make it Genesis/Egyptian and Prophets/Babylonians. Why? Genesis and Egyptians both have amazing discards, combined they will wreak much more havoc on your opponent. This alone will make your discard deck much better, so after that I'd suggest getting the Egyptians.

That's not a bad idea either, actually. :)

Funny thing is, I have been considering that :P.  Since I've been focusing a lot on my Egyptians, I've wanted to move my Genesis over.  One of the things that's holding me back is the discard possibility of Hidden Treasures and Wickedness Removed.  With HT, I can make sure the right cards are gone and with Wickedness Removed, I can potentially stop their defense for a turn or two.  I might play around with it on RTS to see how I would set that up.  Do ya think Prophets/Babylonians go good together?

Very very very well. That's one of my main decks.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Do you mind letting me know what cards you use for your prophets (either here or pm)?

Very standard stuff. Micah, Joel, Nahum, Miriam, Abel, David, Hur, and Beniaha for Heroes, and there are so many fantastic Green Enhancements that you can have your pick, just as long as you include both side-battle cards and Provisions.
