Z-Temple
Conversion
BTN
Genesis
White/Purple
Splash
Other

I'm looking for straight power and efficiency, not necessarily which one is the most "fun" to play with - I want to actually win a tournament for once. Thanks!

TGT/Speed

My best/most fun to play with is still my purple royalty. I really like that theme.

Speed

or some random little kid with a starter deck and like 2 cards modified.

Speaking from Experience:
Z-temple Speed with coward defense/minor sitelock just won me a district (and due to the latest Gabe win, 2nd in ROOT...but the game with Gabe was close

). It's offense and drawing is it's power, and it is an efficient power which is what you asked for. Under the criteria you gave, without a doubt: Z-temple speed. It is the most efficient offense out there!

I disagree. Purple Royalty is fast enough to keep up with speed/teal, doesn't require enough cards so that you can have a defense, and has recurable battle winners. It's pretty much amazing, considering you can have 19/19 and still play the first enhancements in battle with the throne of David active.

I like heroless, I've netted 15th? at nationals with it, at 70 cards. Herolite(Judges) also works very well.

I likePurple(royalty) when I do use a deck with less than 70 cards cuz as LN said it is quite fast.

I will admit that I'm still tinkering with this deck...so you may be right. The other suggestions (outside of yours)...I disagree with.

If you're looking for power and efficiency you won't find anything that tops this deck.

I've loaned it to many new players who didn't even know the cards or deck well and watched them win against more experienced players with tournament level decks. I've had people copy it off the internet and win their State tournament. I've seen others modify it to make their own version have a lot of success. One of the great things about the deck is that it's pretty forgiving (meaning you can make some mistakes and still do well).

The deck has it's weaknesses, especially with some of the new cards released in the past couple years. Even though, it's often fast enough and powerful enough to overcome them most of the time.

P.S. - If you try it change Cov w/Moses or Lug to Captured Ark.

I personally like Z-Temple speed w/ suicide. However, TGT is also great.

Royalty with Sadducees are one of my favorites
Genesis and Romans seems to work decently as well
And there's still the powerhouse of Angels and Assyrians (sometimes with orange splash)

Wow - thanks for all the replies guys. But, seeing those, I realize I was COMPLETELY out of it when I asked the question - the whole point of the question (and this is MY fault for forgetting to put it in

)was pre-RoA. So, if you wouldn't mind, please reply again, this time keeping in mind my lack of RoA cards. Thanks!

Gabe · « **Reply #14 on:** March 27, 2009, 05:25:33 PM »

My reply doesn't include any RoA cards or themes.

Mageduckey · « **Reply #15 on:** March 27, 2009, 05:30:43 PM »

Ooops, apparently I'm still out of it - I meant to mention you/your deck in my post. Thanks for that deck list (though I don't have many of the cards in there, and so can't build it, I am learning from it and trying to build one of similar power)!

soul seeker · « **Reply #16 on:** March 27, 2009, 11:37:39 PM »

my suggestion is very low if any RoA cards either.

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #18 on:** July 01, 2009, 11:33:55 AM »

I would say that the best kind of deck would be banding. build it around banding and make sure that you have solomons temple, glory of the lord, and holy of holies in it so nobody can negate it.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #19 on:** July 01, 2009, 11:44:56 AM »

Heroless...Still.

Colin Michael · « **Reply #20 on:** July 01, 2009, 11:47:11 AM »

Isn't it a given that each person will think the deck that they're using is the best theme?

lightningninja · « **Reply #21 on:** July 01, 2009, 03:05:29 PM »

Yeah, pretty much. Or the person that beats them.
