Title: My Assyrian/Magicians Defense
Post by: Arrthoa on June 10, 2012, 12:54:06 AM
This is my 18 card D for my Prophet Assyrian deck and was wondering how else to improve it.
Note: Asnapper is used to transfer the 3 I capture with my arts to my Opponent's LOB and I have both of the DAEs in the deck

ECs
The Rabsaris
Assyrian Archer
ASA
A. Survivor
Asnapper
Manassah
Astrologers
Damsel w/ Spirit

EE
Invoking Terror
2k Horses
DoU
The Rabshakeh Attacks
Forgotten History
The Rabsaris Attacks

Forts
Assyrian Camp

Arts
Confusion of Mind
Charms
Writ

I assume you're using the two pale green/green cards

Out:
Asnapper
Rabshakeh attacks
Tribute

In:
Rabshakeh
Achan's sin
Divination

I would also suggest using Household Idols and the CBP lost soul.

Yes it's the two PG/G enhancements. Divination is the only one there I see that could be helpful. I like Asnapper cause I use him to help soul gen and make my Rabsaris CBN. Achan's Sin is a uneeded card since I already have DoU and Forgotten History to protect and end the battle. The Rabshakeh is really not useful since I only have 1 weapon, his enhancement is good cause it is a CBN mass discarder, something that is helpful if playing against FBTNB or other banding chains.

1. Against any decent player Asnapper will never get to use his ability/survive more than one battle.
2. Achan's Sin deals with banding chains way better than your current card.
3. If Rabshakeh has 2K horses he can interrupt  FBTN characters, allowing you to play whatever you want CBN except for CBN negates.

If you take out Asnapper and put in Balaam it will be to your advantage, he can recur CoM and be a great shut-off character with that card. I would suggest Words o' Discouragement or Achan's Sin over Rabshakeh Attacks.
