Title: Phillies, Pharisees or Both?
Post by: Beautiful Light on October 29, 2011, 04:04:10 PM: In everyone's opinion, which would make the strongest defense in a TGT deck?
Just Phillies? Just Pharisees? A mix of both?
I have approximately 12 card slots open for this (dominants and artifacts already included before the 12)
Thanks!

Sads aren't that strong imo. Pharisees are better. Phillys are not as good this year because of all the new red things, but Chronic Apathy's defense in your other topic could be decently effective.

Post by: Beautiful Light on October 29, 2011, 04:35:46 PM: Ok, I was thinking of mixing them because I wanted Saph to band with Goliath? Do you recommend adding Saph in with philies?

Post by: SomeKittens on October 29, 2011, 04:42:07 PM: Goliath negates all band abilities. Saph really doesn't help.

Oh! I am using a non-promo Goliath (haven't gotten one of those fancy ones yet) so I didn't realize

What is "inish" and "CBN/CBI"?

Post by: SomeKittens on October 29, 2011, 05:36:02 PM: Inish = initiative, or whoever plays the first enhancement. CBN/CBI Cannot Be Negated, Cannot be Interrupted.

This is a great resource for those sorts of questions. (Don't worry, it took me forever to learn all the jargon here)
