An Egpyt Site or two and the deck and hand discard Lost Souls seems like they belong too.

Post by: browarod on November 19, 2009, 07:17:51 PM: Okay, I took your suggestions and updated.

As for offense, I didn't really know. Any ideas?

Post by: Sean on November 19, 2009, 07:21:07 PM: Banks of the Nile >>>>>> Pharaoh's Prison
I'd go with 2 Egypt
Silver goes really well with this in my opinion. Angel of the Harvest, Gabriel, and I Am Holy+Chamber.

Excellent idea! Added so far.

Michael
The Strong Angel
Captain of the Host
Gabriel

Striking Herod
Victory
Three Angels
Protection of Angels

The rest you can tailor to your liking, but no silver (mono) offense should be without those cards. I like to use Angel at Jerusalem, Angel in the Path, and Angel of Warning. For Enhancements I like Fire, Smoke and Sulfur, Swift Beings, and Second Seal. I've actually got two versions of a silver/Egyptian deck I've been playing with a little bit right now. One is 63 and the other is 70.

Post by: Sean on November 19, 2009, 08:23:16 PM: I don't think Pergamum really belongs in a deck like this. You're not trying to lock them out (no Site takers/discarders), you're just using Sites to aid your defense. Egypt for Enslaved by Egypt, Banks of the Nile for ignore protection, Kir for anti choose blocker.
