I pulled all my NON-SA cards to avoid having to go through all them to find my SA cards I want, and I noticed for the most part the Non-Sa cards are not used. Are there any Non-SA cards worth noting or keeping in mind? Thanks!!! Sorry still trying to learn the ropes.. ;)
-
Sites (especially Babylon) are the first ones that come to mind. I'm sure there are others, but thats a start.
-
The 0/7 and 7/0 enhancements (or 0/6 and 6/0) could be useful for BTN battles if you play that way.
Several decent Genesis heroes (Rebecca, Rachel, Sarah) have no SA, and Windows of Narrow Lights (art - promo) protects them from a ton of stuff.
I'm pretty sure there's a Herod or two without an SA, as well as an Emperor.
-
Goliath if ya play black.
-
John the baptist if using spirit as a dove
-
Windows of Narrow Light makes any non-SA hero useful, but especially those who fit the requirements of cards that specify "If ___ is in play," like Daniel and Isaiah. The original John (from Prophets) could also be useful with Windows and The Garden Tomb.

I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned the 4/4 Judges yet.
-
meh, eli is the best 4/4 judge.
-
To be sure, but you'll want at least one other if you want your seat to stay occupied.
-
I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned the 4/4 Judges yet.
I'm shocked that you didn't mention Gad.
-
Shhhh!
-
What's so special about Gad?
6/3 Red Brigade prophet, did I miss something?
-
Super Gad!

Keep
Blue: Sarah and Rebekkah (for Levi)
Gold: Deborah and either Samuel or Othniel (Judge's Seat)
Green: Agabus (NT green prophet)

Hey,
Philosophy comes to mind.
Tschow,

-
Angel With the Secret Name can also be awesome, especially if no other angels are in play.
Super Angel With the Secret Name...
-
Silly women as well. Man I disappear for half a year and my stuff STILL gets quoted ;) And yes Gad is amazing.
Gad+Passover preperations+Chemosh him to 6/1 = Play First CBN hero in the brigade with the MOST battle winners.
-
+ Training in Righteousness & Built on the Rock just for good sport ;)
-
I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned the 4/4 Judges yet.
The two 4/4 gold judges were my key heroes in my Natz multi-killer deck.
-
Kinda gets me thinking a little....would a "Vanilla" deck work? Maybe not in a lot o tournaments, but might be fun to play with....
-
Vanilla decks are good teaching decks for young kids. Redemption changes to War but with a chance for some decision making.
-
MJB, Going to assume you've tried a vanilla deck before, was it really that much like war? How did it compete against other decks?
-
We had a couple of ways of playing the vanilla decks. The first was that the person who had the most cards in battle won. So if you played a red hero and two red brigade enhancements you would beat me if I only had a blocker and one enhancement. That was good for color matching and learning which symbols go with which (Bibles with Crosses and Skulls with Dragons). Later we really stepped it up and started determining battles by the numbers. It was more fun than it sounds.
That said, I can't conceive of a vanilla deck being competitive against any deck using any modicum of modern cards with special abilities.
