does silver need more cards like striking hered and fire smoke and sulfur.
if so what would be vible card ides?
-
Silver doesn't need more battle winners. I think it has everything a brigade needs to be successful as a mono color. Best selection of characters of any other brigade (debatable, yes), three anti-human battle winners, two anti-demon battle winners, uber banding, and three interrupt/negate cards. In the previous list I did not count any card twice (Striking Herod I counted as anti-human battle winner).

Angels are just fine battle-winner-wise.

if so what I think silver does need more battle winners, to play against demons. Striking Hered, and fire smoke and sulfur are only battle winners if you go against humans, of course you would hane three nails, but if the opponent blocks with Mary's seven demons it will negate and discard three nails. There are also evil place enhancments that say three nails do not prevent this demon to block. Then there is D O N.

Mary's Seven Demons is a demon, so it cannot block while Three Nails is active. That being said, there still are many ways to knock out Three Nails.
Demons try to win via numbers/BTN, banding, conversion, discard, and removal. Angels are able to counter BTN with solid CBN, as well as BTN and numbers of their own. Angels can band like there's no tomorrow. Angels are very, very hard to convert since most specify 'human'. With Chamber of Angels and that silver recursion promo, discard isn't much of a problem. And removal can usually be interrupted when used by a demon. Plus, there is Victory and Might of Angels, as well as some immunity to demons. Thus, demons aren't particularly scary to angels, which is why most other enhancements focus on human evil characters.

I was wrong in my initial tally of battle winners that target demons. There are actually three. Victory, Defeating the Enemy, and Bound.
