Title: EMERGENCY! Build Commons-Only Decks to Earn TxP Cards!
Post by: The Schaef on August 24, 2006, 01:34:26 PM
I know this project has been stalled for a long time but I'm going to pull this together.

I am seeking Type 1 decks built with a certain set of criteria:

One last thing, it there is a particular card otherwise not allowed in these decks, say you have a negate deck and you want to add Covenant of Noah, add it to the end as sort of a bonus card, but if you do so, the deck must be legal with or without any optional added cards.  So you cannot have a 50-card deck with Covenant of Noah, because without it the deck would be 49 cards, and you cannot have a 56-card deck without Covenant of Noah, because adding it would require an additional Lost Soul to make it legal.  But the card must be an optional improvement to the deck; e.g. do not make a conversion deck that would flat-out lose if Three Nails is not included.

For every well-constructed deck that I use in this project, its creator will receive a pack of Priest cards.  Deckbuilders can earn a set of tin cards (no boosters) or a box of TxP for the same deck if they meet all of the following criteria:

I cannot stress enough that this must be a deck you would not mind playing in a competitive friendly game or low-level tournament.  It does not have to be able to compete with a high-level speed deck or FBN juggernaut, but it should at least show up to the party.

Comments to help improve decks are welcome, but if there are multiple decks laid out, make sure you specify which one you're addressing.  Also, once the deckbuilder has made his change or (politely) declined your suggestion, all related posts will be deleted to keep clutter to a minimum.  The thread will only consist of deck ideas or pending comments to improve them.

:edit:  UPDATE: One other thing, when submitting your deck ideas, please include (or edit in) a brief paragraph at the end describing the theme of your deck and some of the cooler things it does.  It doesn't have to be long and it doesn't have to be Shakespeare, just a few short sentences will do the trick.

Good luck to everyone.  I look forward to your submissions.

Schaef so all you want is us to type it up and email you or actually make it?  I've made dozens of starters decks and would love to share with you any ideas for the decks I've built.

Just post it right here.  Or email it if you'd prefer to keep it on the d-l.

I'll do a few. But why no women or warriors? And can we throw in some UR's or promos?
Title: Re: ATTENTION DECKBUILDERS! Earn Free Priests!
Post by: The Schaef on August 24, 2006, 03:15:20 PM
Because those are the rules.  It's preferred but not required, that's why you get a bonus pack for NOT using them, as opposed to having your idea rejected if you DO use them.

URs and promos are under the same guidelines as rares, use them only to beef up a deck that could also work without them.

The offense is centered around Eunice, Lois, and Timothy and uses negates and battle winners.  The defense is Sanhedrin based and uses a little bit of site stealing to enhance the blocking capabilities.
I know there's a lot of starter cards in there but that's what I got after 45 minutes.  Side note: Site decks would own if you played by these rules because all the multicolor sites are all off limits.

The point of this Deck on Defense is to either site lock someone or stall them with the sites long enough for the offense to get working. The offense is just straight up green basically your suppose to use sword of the lord to either play some of the site killers on the brown site or to make the evil character in battle fight one of your brown dudes and play gib trick/zelphods sin or just beat him by the numbers. Also on offense use the plague of lice and Shoes of peace to help whittle down your oppenents evil cards in hand to make it easier for you to just negate what they play(EG: beniah snatches a spear or cov of noah).Useing search/iddo the seer combo to get out cards you need works well.

The theme of this deck is to make the oppenent use/discard all evil stuff in his hand and then use big numbers/banding to stomp past his defense. The point of the defense is to sitelock/stale the other offense so your own offense can work. Use the card drawing to get out what you need then start whacking away at your oppenets defense with I am holy/confused/shoes of peace and you can use the Fourth Seal to knock off some EC's as well. You can also use providing angel to get back your blue healing card to help heal yourself more. Use gabriel to knock off your oppenents evil enhancements.

   Gentle Resolution
   Lost Coin Found
   Scarlet Line
   Cast out Demons
   Great Faith (women)
   Letters to the Churches
   Reach of Desperation
   The Word Spreads

Evil Characters: 8
   Abiram
   Abner (k)
   Dathan
   Esau
   Idolaters
   King Jeroboam I
   King Nadab
   King Zedekiah

Evil Enhancements: 10
   Abner's Spear (k)
   Gibeonite Trickery
   Haman's Plot
   Israelite Rebellion
   Paul's Girdle
   Preemptive Strike
   Scorn of Michal
   Self-Doubt
   Zelophehad's Sin
   Lying Unto God

This deck will actually work very well against the majority of decks.  The offense has a fair amount of winners and can recur one of the winners again and keep the heroes alive.  On defense, there is recursion for Gibeonite Trickery or any other OT enh.  Also, on offense you can discard Letters to the Churches with I am Holy and recur it with Ethiopian Treasurer.  The person using the deck must know when to activate Holy of Holies and Golden Calf though in order to prevent hurting him/herself.

Also I did not use any warriors cards!

Love of Money doesn't seem to make musch sense in a single color defense. Perhaps you meant Murmuring?

Here is what happened: I don't have the internet in my house, So I had to go to the Library to use the internet.  I saw your thread, and scanned over the rules.  Then, the next day, I was using my computer at home (it doesn't have internet access) to type up those 5 starter decks I posted.  I had forgotten the rule that you couldn't include priests.  Then I copied all the starter decks I typed up onto a floppy disk.  I took that to the library and posted them.  Is that rule still official?  I am sorry about that.  Can I still have the credit?

Okay, so the idea behind this project was to take decks designed by users, built with only common cards, and sell them on my website as "value decks".  Thank you all for taking the time to contribute to this project.

The good news is, I have finally had the time to sort and catalog all the common cards in The Storehouse, and check in all the decks that have been submitted for this project.

The not so good news is, I don't have enough cards to post any of the decks on my website.

Does this mean I am not going to send out packs because I cannot use any of the decks?  No it does not.  What it does mean is that I am going to try and stock up the missing cards to the point where I can post the decks for sale.  As they go up, the contributors will receive their free packs as promised.

Cards that I do not have stocked are bolded in red on each of your posts.  Some cards you might want to swap out because they will be difficult for me to collect and stock.  Most of them, though, I can collect over time and take them off the "red" list.

The missing cards break down into three basic categories.  One category is using cards that I requested not be used in the decks, such as (non-starter) Artifacts, Warriors and Women.  I gave extra credit for not using those cards, and now you see the reason why: I don't have (m)any of them available to build the decks with.  I am also going to have difficulty stocking certain cards from Second Edition starters, like Job's Wife or Search.  If it doesn't break your deck, you may want to consider finding substitutes for these.

Another category is powerful commons that people are less willing to trade in.  Popular examples include Widow, King Zimri, War Officer, Balaam's Disobedience, Haman's Plot, and various Sites used for conditional abilities, e.g. Damascus, Samaria, Egypt.  I may have a few extra Sites to fill some of these holes, but beyond that, what I need most is more contributions from big-collection veterans.

The third category is probably the largest, but it's also the easiest for me to make up the difference: 3rd and 10th Starter cards.  I am getting ready to post an incentive program to get more starter cards into The Storehouse, so hopefully I'll be able to cut down the number of missing cards by about half.

I apologize for the amount of time this took, it's just that every time I got close to a final count, I would get a new bundle of cards, or have some extras of my own to add, or a tournament would come and some of the cards would be given out/sold to players, so I had difficulty getting an accurate inventory.  And I apologize that this is now going to take even longer.  But I am going to work hard to get as many of these decks online as fast as possible, so I can fulfill my end of the bargain.  Again, thank you all for your efforts, your contributions, and your patience.

As a side note to Deathscythe, I'm keeping your decks on file for the moment, as I certainly am not against having Priests worked into these "value decks" over time.  But I probably don't need to tell you that The Storehouse does not have a lot of Priests right now.  Maybe after a while, there will be enough Priests cards in stock to support your decks.

Since this portion of my website has taken so long to get rolling, and since so many Priest cards have rolled in recently, I am giving serious consideration to bumping up the criteria, so that if people want, they can add Priest commons and take some FooF cards instead of Priest cards.

I'll need to figure out how that would work, first, though.  In the meantime, start considering some Priest commons that might improve your existing decks.

Post by: Vasbear on August 15, 2007, 08:48:59 PM
sweet!!!!

I could get the cards for even cheeper then cuz I dont have any of them yet.

1 question will there be a limit on the number of FooF cards we could earn.
Title: Re: Build Commons-Only Decks to Earn Priest Packs! UPDATE!
Post by: The Schaef on August 15, 2007, 08:55:34 PM
While I am tallying up the cards donated at 2007 Nationals, anyone who has submitted a deck, feel free to add Priests (un)commons to your entries if you wish.  I still need to work out how to get the cards and distribute them, but anyone who submitted (or still wishes to submit) a deck gets a FoOF card.  Anyone who meets the bonus criteria I outlined will get a set of their choice.

I apologize that this took so long to materialize.  The store has been a lot slower to start up than I had hoped.
Title: Re: Build Commons-Only Decks to Earn FoOF Cards! UPDATE!
Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on August 18, 2007, 12:06:59 AM
So, to get a full FooF set of 10 cards... we have to meet all 4 secondary requirements, or just some? and we can now use Priest commons and uncommons?

Also.. i was wondering if we could include the womens only ls from the H deck... or is it no special ability ls period?
Title: Re: Build Commons-Only Decks to Earn FoOF Cards! UPDATE!

At least one, same as the old "two packs" requirement.  Once I figure out how to lay hands on the cards.

Orange Evil Characters: 4
Blinding demon
Fallen Angel
Prince of Tyrus
Siezing Spirit

*NO warriors.
*NO women.
*NO arts.
*only one card here has */0, so theres no real strong usage of 2/0 or 0/2 cards in this deck.
*A moderate theme, to have heros and quick 1 hit wins right off the bat.

This is mostly a cut down version of my Jackhammer deck. Its designed to draw offense quickly and have a bunch of moderately good 1 or 2 hit battle winners, rather then rely on combos that could be spread across the deck. It also has some banding tossed in and Gabriel for his annoying BC's when no ls are availible. Blue took the biggest hit when i cut out rare cards, so now most of the punch is in Red.

Additional cards that *MAY* be added to give the deck more punch:
Prince of Tyrus - orange
Pride Before Calamity
Cup of Wrath
Confusion of Mind
Priestly Crown *as most of the characters are OT males*
Mary Magdalene - Demon immunity can REALLY help.

This deck could be a lot of fun. Pagan Sacrifices can nuke an effective card from their deck every turn, and can be played in a side battle with Sword of the Lord. The offense has enough battle winners/negates to get through almost any defense. Unknown Nation is a really good card that works against some of the "most effective" battle winners in the game like Zeal for the Lord or Authority of Christ (promo), when it is used as an artifact. Site access shouldn't be a problem, you have 2 sites that aren't the same color as your offense, Priestly Crown, and King Asa. Make sure that you don't use Provisions to choose your own Egyptian bander, because they could bring in your whole defense and decimate you.

Idea behind deck
A Abuse the musical combo (using angel's sword+gathering to help) with protection of angels. Alter of incense for protection.

C Basic crimson battle winner based defense.
D Hint Sarah's jealousy +Davids harp to choose your own hero =Dead hero back on the top of your deck

 I guess you might call using two 0/*'s a bonus ::).

Idea behind this deck is really to just tire them out.  It can get enough blocks to give the offense time to get in and make some rescues.  I had a deck that looked somewhat(It was 85 cards though ;)) like this when I was just starting out, and it did ok.  Stall.  

The theme on offense is kind of converted and/or getting Moses+Built on the Rock and Angel in the Path+Sword of the Gaurdian out, and other than that use the conversion to get the goal.

The defensive theme is really just to stall the heckout of them.  Nothing special.

White Wolf, you may want to exchange that Sword of the Guardian for Angel's Sword... name-on-name and if you are losing by numbers, you can discard it to withdraw safely... or just add it in and take out another card, like maybe a Sadducee.  just saying...

The offense basically relies on two banding pairs (James and John or King Hezekiah and Azariah) with some extra goodies thrown in.  I like the idea of King Hez with Azariah because it's pretty big and you have 2 interrupts, should you need them.  The defense should be able to stall long enough to get the offense going.  No warriors.

 The deck is mostly a musician theme using bronze cymbals and protection of angels with my white musician trio makes it so that every battle i can reuse protecion of angels untell one of them is destroyed by christian martyr. the evil primarily runs on sites and occasional pink kill cards and drawing cards.
The deck contains no warriors, womans, or rare cards and works well.

Given how long this thread has sat unfulfilled, I am going to try hard to finish getting the card stock into shape so that I can do what I wanted to do with these decks, and reward all faithful contributors with a pack of TxPs when they come out (it will probably take me at least that long to get my sand together)  :)

I didn't catch this, and I'm sorry to make you repeat it if it has already been said, but are you looking for deck ideas, or for the actual cards?

Just the ideas.  I have 50,000 cards in The Storehouse; I'll manage  ;)

I think I burnt most of my ideas on my first submissions. Sadly ROA/FOOF=  Rares or I'd have a very easy commons deck ready.

This summary is from RTS. Sorry about how the Teal and the Covenants/Curses are in the wrong categories. They're marked though.

This offense is kinda cool I think. It utilizes four groups of two character banding. Elishama is a star here. With his ability, as long as Jehosophat is in play, you can play a OT enhancement from your discard pile onto a hero in your territory. Unified Kingdom or Jehoida's strength are definately my favorite choices. On Jehoiada, Jehoiada's stength is worth a massive 10/4! Unfortunately, Burning incense is NT, otherwise it'd be a great choice as well. All the characters were somehow related to Solomon's Temple.

On defense, you again have a lot of banding. A few extra cards were added to enhance their ability to combat decks that use negation. Captain of the Temple guard can use the two capture enhacnements included unnegateably if either Jerusalem or Herod's Temple is in play. Also, High Priests Annas and Caiphas offer the sadducees fairly large numbers. Caiaphas is also useful in a normal bout - his ability will let you search for any other saduccee in your deck and put it in your territory!


Additional Adds:

The Word Spreads
Authority of Christ (Unlimited)
High Priest's Palace
High Priest's Plot
Altar of Incense
Solomon's Temple

I don't know if this offer is still alive. However, I would like to help out regardless, so here's my submission :)

cards - 50

lost souls x7

good doms 2
angel of the lord
son of god

evil doms 2
burial
christian marytr

covenants 4
i am healing
i am holy
covenant with levi

madness
unknown nation
go into captivity

heroes 11

jehoiada
zadok
ahimaaz
eliishima
amariah
eliashib
eleazar son of aaron
zecherias father of john

purple

kind hezekiah

silver
gabriel

good enhancements 10
teal
jehoiada's strength
perpetual priesthood
jordan interrupted
purifying the unclean
burning incense
melchizedek's blessing
sin offering
phinehas' spear
burnt offering

purple
unified kingdom

evil characters 9
crimson
king merodach-baladan
king evil merodach
Ishbibenob
7 sons of sceva
joel, son of samuel
abijah, son of samuel

orange
the thief
fallen angel
seizing spirit

evil enhancements 2
crimson
carried into exile

orange
sinning hand

This deck has some cool combos and strategies. First of all, I believe it meets all of the requirements. It could easily be competitive, all cards are still in print, no tin cards, no rares, no warriors, no womens, no artifacts, and it has a fairly strong theme of attrition, using big characters, healing, and protection.

The offense has some real bruisers like zadok, jehoida, and gabriel. There are a lot of combos in this offence, using the recursion with elishima, such as united kingdom to set off huge bands. purifying the unclean and i am healing can stop your heros from being discarded, and covenant with phinehas and burnt offering can provide re-usable protection. On top of this, there is some pretty decent banding going on. All in all, its not as easy to shut down as one might think.

The defense is smaller and simpler then the offense. However, its still very effective. There is a lot of banding, and some pretty big characters. However, if you block with a smaller character for initiative you can do some damage with carried into exile and sinning hand. Madness, unknown nation, and go into captivity can also provide some serious stopping power.

Lost Souls: 7
Sites: 7 - Place of Temptation, Hostile Environment, Dangerous Way, Desolate City, Dangerous Road, Jericho, Roman Prison
(My theory deck has fortresses instead of Jericho and Roman Prison.)

Dominants: 3 - SoG, Burial, AotL
Covenants: 4 - I Am Salvation, I Am Grace, I Am Redemption, I am Creator

ECs: 7 - 6 Panic Demons, Spirit of Doubt
EC enhancements: 7 - Retreat, Escape, Seeds of Doubt, Fear of Danger, Consumed by Doubt, Fearfulness, Enticed

Heroes: 7 - Swift, Arianna, Kira, Eli, Paladin, Gabriel (K), Watcher (PA)
H enhancements: 8 - Ears to Hear, Commissioned, Worshipping God, Three Angels, Protection of Angels (PS), Flaming Sword (K), Swift Beings, Winds
subst. Protection of Angels with Spiritual Sight.
subst. Flaming Sword with Eyes Open

The EC enhancements are all about preventing rescue attempts locking the hero in his territory unable to go to battle.  With the escape/retreat, you should be able to hold your panic demons so you can get more up, and the enticed strengthens them all.

The Hero enhancements are somewhat ridiculous in defense.  Worshipping God keeps your covenants from being discarded.  Commissioned makes sure there is a lost soul to rescue.  Ears to Hear makes sure that lost soul's special ability doesn't stop you.  Swift Beings to Winds combo prevents capture and continues the battle.  Three Angels is really your only purely offensive card.  Flaming Sword negates any enhancement.  (the subst. i mentioned is in my deck... it's more offensive in the numbers, and lets me know what is in their hand, as does the ec enhancement fearfulness.) 

The covenants do everything from returning captured heroes to your territory, to preventing your numbers from lowering, to healing all your heroes, to making sure you have a hero for your offense ready.


The weakness is sites.

Crimson has some nice heroes and a lot of discard/capture hero cards. This means you can take out an opponents strong heroes without a long battle. Purple has some nice powerhouses and John + James can present a formidable assault. Add in Vineyard and your looking at a strong offence without any enhancements. The total number of the cards is exactly 56.
