I want to try to start something on the RTS. I have this idea called a G-H canon deck. The only cards you can use in a deck are cards from the G-H starters, the Priests Expansion pack, Faith of our Fathers, and Rock of Ages. You can't use lost souls from different sets or dominants. You can't use promos either. I think this is a semi-challenging way to play, giving the limits of the cards you can use. I want to see how many people will like this idea so leave a post or PM me any questions or comments you might have.
Thanks!

And if you wish to join the network on Hamachi it is Redemption G-H canon Password redemption.

This sounds fun... I'll let you know once I make a deck.

I don't see why you'd play anything but Teal on offense.

Do you want to play soon lightningninja?

Doesn't this encourage teal? And discourage defense?

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #6 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:14:40 PM »

Not necessarily. I play with prophets and you can use several combos with good brigades like purple and teal. Why would it discourage Defense?

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #7 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:26:50 PM »

Because post G/h defense isn't that great overall compared tothe awesome offenses that came out.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #8 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:30:10 PM »

Exactly.

i love the idea. i'd love to play a gametype with older sets rotated out.

Becuse post G/h defense isn't that great overall compared tothe awesome offenses that came out.
Janissary quote.

Well you could still make a demon defense or combine a couple colors with the other new demons or are you all from MN?

I thought that there've been lots of amazing defensive stuff that came out since G/H. There have been good stand along characters (KoT, PotW) auto blocks (Uzzah, TD), CBN stuff like Nerg and Naaman, lot of play first, Horses-Horses and more Horses, not to mention some crappy Emporer stuff that just happened to win Nationals last year.

It's hard to play Emperor's without stuff like Nero, Claudius, Balaam's diobedience, Mask of Fear, and various other nice enhancements. It'd force you to use capture enhancements, and how hard is it to stop capture? Nto hard.

You wouldn't have to worry about Blue Tassels. You have RDJ to remove Obediah's Caves or Z's Temple. What other major concerns does capture have?

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2009, 09:50:02 PM »

Teal in general (many interrupts) (again, why not play teal?)
The increase of characters made who avoid capture.
I am redemption (lol, ok, not really, but I had to mention it)
The increase of many initative characters being made.

Vague generalities don't really make an entire defensive strategy obsolete.

Your only specific example is from Angel Wars (which is pre G/H).

I stand by the fact that Emperors, whether or not they use capture, will make a good defense in this format.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2009, 10:02:35 PM »

Your right, Angel Wars is pre. Oops. It's been so long since I have even seen the packs....

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2009, 10:27:06 PM »

I agree with Gabe because I use the emperors and brown in my canon deck and they work well against priests. RDJ does help a lot.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2009, 06:50:18 AM »

Z-Temple has nothing to fear. RDJ is easily countered by Filling Z-Temple, and once that's safe you have no battle-winners.

I really can't think of a single way to play a defense in this format that would enable you to do anything to a Z-Temple offense.

Captain Kirk · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2009, 09:46:33 AM »

Recur RDJ with Pride of Simon or Imitating Evil, duh.

I'm not saying it isn't POSSIBLE, it is just the last two sets have been offensive heavy.

I mean it is POSSIBLE to do it, I was saying due to the difficulty of building a solid one (Not everyone knows how to make orange great, even though its awesome) would encourage more def than offense.

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #21 on:** July 27, 2009, 01:18:59 PM »

Well how about you guys who think priests would be dominant and build a canon deck with priests and whatever defense you want. THen if you are going to Nationals or are on Hamachi play me and you can see the deck I built and I'll show you other stratigies you can use. Like I said before, you can use a pretty strong red deck and even a genesis deck. If you wish to do this PM me or leave a post. Thanks for all opinions so far

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #22 on:** August 08, 2009, 12:26:44 PM »

Well now we can use TexP cards in canon if that entices anyone.
