This is an interesting idea. I just happened to notice that Jannes, Jambres, and Pharaoh's Magicians were all Egyptian magician EC's and they could all band together, so I stuck in other banding Egyptians and Magic Charms and...well, take a look at what I have so far.

EC's
Egyptian Archer
Egyptian Charioteers
Egyptian Warden
Egyptian Wise Men
Jambres
Jannes
King So
King of Tyrus
Pharaoh's Magicians
Salome

EE's
Egyptian Horses
Enslaved by Egypt
Lies
Mask of Fear
Moses Kills Egyptian
Ruthless
Spreading Mildew
Swift Horses
Wonders Forgotten

Lurking

Artifacts/Curses
Darius' Decree
Magic Charms
Unholy Writ

Unknown Nation
Confusion of Mind
Captured Ark

Fortresses/Sites
Kingdoms of the World
Pharaoh's Throne Room
Wall of Protection

Egypt

I'm not quite sure what kind of offense I want to go with this, but I was thinking I would try red, seeing as it also has a banding theme. Do you think this strategy would work?

It'll work well until you run into a Priests offense and none of the capture stuff works.

Or until you run into a TGT deck and all your ECs get captured by Women as Snares, and you get ignored despite PTR's protection against ignore.

Spreading Mildew and Kingdoms of the World solve both of those problems and are effective against other types of decks as well.

imo switch out Wall for Kotw

I might put that in, but it would certainly depend on what kind of offense I had. I've played a number of Egyptian defenses, and I rarely ever get lucky and discard something my opponent actually needs, so I'm reluctant to put in any deck d/c.

At worst, it is not benefitting me and its slot (both in the deck and on the artifact pile) could be used up with a better card. At absolute best, I'll snipe a dom, but the chances of that happening are like 1/10, and I don't like those odds.

Actually the chances are anywhere from 1/5 to 1/7 unless your opponent is a n00b and doesn't use many Dominants.  That's not even accounting for all the other great cards it might discard from the top.  Pol is right, it's a great card for any Egyptian defense.

I take offense to this comment
