The Throne Of David, King Solomon and King David would all be great additions to this deck.

I've made some positive modifications to my deck but I need better heroes!

Please... Anybody know of purple royalty that can help me out. That's really the last step for me to compleat my deck.

I would say you need better battle-winners before better heroes. You have two ignore enhancements that will be entirely useless if your opponent uses Golgotha, an enhancement that only targets OT ECs, a convert that could very well be useless, and AoCP. I would recommend at least adding King David and Unified Kingdom.

I too have tried this offense, and I know how hard it is to get initiative to play enhancements. I would recommend Melchizedek - 4/4 teal/purple and royalty - because he also protects from capture, conversion and poisons. Mephibosheth - 1/1, purple brigade, also royalty - is good as well, but he can only be used for one rescue unless you have David in play.

If you want to get these and other purple, I would suggest buying the Rock of Ages tin number 15 (melchizadek) and the Faith of our Fathers tin number 5 (mephibosheth). Hope that helps!

by the way, I also throw in Ethiopian Treasurer as a way to play AoCP right off the bat. he isn't royalty, but he sure does the trick!

take out Evil-meradoch. hes basically just another Headquarters but only in battle, and if they use ethiopian+AOC it wont matter

Some really good babies: Arioch, nebushasban (use with 3-liner), ashpenaz, The winged lion. Also, throw in Archers of Kedar. The imperial Guard is okay, it will make them regret putting all of their artifacts on the table.

Ok after a few changes, still need to get more enhancements but I'll be getting them as singles. If anyone has some that they think I'd be interested in (such as ones recommend in this post) please message me directly or email me. Still looking to improve Heros as well...

I need the specal ability described for me because I don't have a computer (posting from my phone) and the pictures on three lions are to blurred to read.

I did add Mephibosheth and Boasting of Strength (crimson card that will negate his ability) that I'll play against myself.

Added Five Smooth Stones, King Jotham, The Magi,
And Benaiah with Maharai that band together as a stand alone team (basically if the card dosen't have a shield pice, character or enhancement, it dosen't work.)

Took out king Saul and Prince Jonathan

And for defense Altar of Dagon and Hating The Light.

Ps: dose Hating The Light stick permanently to the character?

I would take out King Evil-meroch and put in the winged Lion.
