Prophets/Teal offense, Crimson defense. There you go.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Side battles IMO go well with deck d/c. Go with green/red and evil gold, and you can have Sword Against Sword, Visions, Sing and Praise, Joseph's Brothers' Scheme, and that one evil gold enh. that makes two EC's fight. You can also have Amasai the Raider, Hidden Treasures, Wickedness Removed, and then all the fun evil gold deck d/c stuff. (If you want to add in a bit of silver, you can have Gabriel and Angel of the Harvest for a little extra deck d/c as well.)

If you are going with side battles, you simply have to use some green, as is has two side battle cards, a way to recur them both, as well as a way to play one of them before battle.

You can actually play both of them before your opponent can do anything.  Use a provisioned hero with HT active then play Visions.

And STOP talking about side battle decks.  How can I be all ninja like if others are discussing the best strategy in the game??

One word: Pot O'Manna.

OK technically that is two words, but you get my point.

I would call it two and a half...and no one uses that card anyway. ::)

Even if they did, you can get rid of it with DoN, Captured Ark, or Lying unto God if you are afraid of it. (In other words, artifacts aren't very big threats.)

Don't forget that Jeremiah uses Cup of Wrath, so no point in using blue. Green and Gold is how I'd do it.

And forever put up the snickering when it is announced that you are the newb who used DoN on Pot O'Manna.  ;)

Better than the n00b who used Pot O'Manna cause he heard someone was using a side battle deck.  ;)

But what evil enhancements are even worth playing in a side battle???  Troops discharged I can see... :)
Gates of Hell is by far the best card in the game.  No questions asked.

Before High Places, many of the "place" enhancements would have been good choices in a side-battle deck as well, and I suppose they still are. Another kind of card which side-battles enhance are the pale green diseases and paralyzers. This is not even including all the stuff you can do to mess with the main battle...

Now, now, now...let everyone download their own copy of the cardlist and research the bestest cards themselves.   ;)

Even better is sword of the Lord + great image.  Then you get ALL their heros.  With Troops discharged you still hav ethe one in battle to deal with.

What? Wasn't it ruled that whenever a card referred to battle, it meant this battle? I thought Great Image would discard all the heroes in the main battle as well. ???

If not, I want to be able to start a side battle with Captain of the Host and negate the main battle.

Also wouldn't a side battle with coth negate the side battle?
