I was wondering what people thought about the magicians being a realistic deck. The new cards have made so many deck types possible but i think that magicians with demons and recurring enhancements to the bottom of the deck would be effective, so i was wondering what everybody else thought.

Magicians and Demons probably got my favorite stuff in this set; I definitely think PG/Orange(/Crimson perhaps?) defenses will be used quite a bit from now on.

Yeah, Magicians got some cool stuff for sure.

User of curious arts is almost broken. 3 brigades?? that's sickeningly crazy. Damsel with spirit of divination would be grrrrreat against speed for sure.

Consider this line-up for a 3 brigade defense:

Deceiving Spirit (Orange/selected brigade)
Crippling Demon (Orange/Pale Green)
Astrologers (Crimson/Pale Green)
Damsel with Spirit of Divination (Pale Green/Orange)
User of Curious Arts (Pale Green/Orange/selected brigade)
Enchanter (Pale Green-can use Orange EE to use SA)

Add in Simon the Magician with a few tasty black EE plus Magic Charms and I'd say Magicians are already a viable defense.

Haha, then they go in with Claudia+ET+Job Overcomes, just because they can.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #11 on:** August 02, 2009, 07:33:20 PM »

No one plays Job Overcomes, so why plan for it?

lightningninja · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2009, 07:34:18 PM »

I put it in ALL blue decks. Although I don't use blue decks...

What does Job overcomes do?

Tim's discarding deck doesn't use it. That's all I need to know, considering it couldn't even make a deck devoted to discarding the hand.

i love using splash defense there are so many combinations

seeker · « **Reply #17 on:** August 02, 2009, 09:26:35 PM »

After reading job overcomes i definitely agree with lightning ninja job overcomes can shut them down pretty hard as well as the red set aside card

sepjazzwarrior · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2009, 11:33:28 PM »

as far as the red set aside card since your already using orange you can throw in the theif to discard the set aside hero.

seeker · « **Reply #19 on:** August 02, 2009, 11:42:07 PM »

That is true

lightningninja · « **Reply #20 on:** August 02, 2009, 11:50:22 PM »

I'm pretty stoked about revealing the top six cards, putting a ls on top and going in with jepthah.

It was in some iterations of it. It mainly existed while I thought I could use Obedience of Noah to give my opponent Self and then Job Overcomes them to death. In fact, Job Overcomes was in it during SE Regionals 2008 and I got to use it against someone with a multicolor card present. Then again, I had terrible, terrible performance during that tournament (I got a bye, random little kids were trying to help me by giving me advice during the games...).

lightningninja · « **Reply #23 on:** August 25, 2009, 03:21:51 PM »

So self doesn't work? bummer...

TimMierz · « **Reply #24 on:** August 25, 2009, 03:27:28 PM »

If they have their own Self, it's fine, but you can't count brigades that they control but don't own (like chosen blockers of yours).
