 In a type one deck,in your opinion of how you make your decks,should your offence be bigger than your defence or d-fence bigger than the offence.

                                             

Depends on your style. I run a very HEAVY defense yet others run very heavy offense.

 

 I have usally used about 20 defence cards,15-16 offence,my decks are usally 67-70 cards.
 but I try new things ever so often.

Lol, I have about the same numbers, except my decks are typically 56.

 Nice,I like to mix it up. I like Egyptians,Angels and Red brigade heros, with angels can be powerful or a whole offence of angels can be powerful as well. but I try something new every week.

Actually, to re-assess my typical deck:

8 heroes
7 GE
9 EC
8 EE
4 arts
3 forts/sites
9 doms
8 Lost Souls

Although lately it's been more like 1 less art, 1 less fort/site, and 2 more doms, after realizing that doms are actually necessary for a competitive deck.

2 heroes
3 GE
11 EC
13 EE

mine is somewhat like this. usually. currently, I'm

13 heroes
6 GE
6 EC
0 EE
7 arts
3 forts/sites
9 doms
8 Lost Souls
ish. you need at LEAST 10 Heroes or Evil Characters to have any fun.

Wait so you have 35 Non Character/Enhancement cards? (well 26 with LS but still). Even for an artifact/fort lover like me that seems like WAY too much.

 
 Yes,I build big decks,but I cut cards ,and cut the card count to 63 cards.

It's a really good deck, I think Underwood and I are the only people who've beaten it.

I have beaten lots of people I beat prof alstad/prof underwood/pol/RR etc....


it is still a "odd" deck

oh and noone is getting the deck list because its my tourney deck 

I can't think of any large enhancementless offenses that would be effective except a Captain Band.... and that shouldn't be too hard to counter.

I'm probably missing an obvious offense, though....

I will say this....mine is the only I've seen of its kind and it is by no means easy to counter Pol can attest to that even though eventually he did get the best of me

I can attest that Caleb did in fact beat me. There was one play that I didn't account for, had I not allowed him to do that, he would not have won, but win he did in the end. Overall, it was a very well played game.

cuz zeb is bad now.

Ummmmmm...this is simply false. I have laid waste to many a deck with naught but Zebulun and a few closely associated other heroes.

Yeah, Zeb is still a beastly beast Not enough people are playing with the newest counters, and Locking out an opponent is easier than ever since (IMO) defence got a bigger boost then offence in TeP.


Instaposted, thus edit:

one grapes is one of zeb biggest fears and 30peices does a number on him i could name a thousand(not true just sounded cool)

Erm, ok, play with 30 peices... I'll just flip a chariots and ahimazz him back to health. Grapes doesn't affect Zeb at all, because you'll never get an evil card into battle to play it on. Clearly you've never played a well built zeb deck before.
