Black Brigade is descriptive of calamity and darkness.
Characters represented in the black brigade include rebellious Israelites, Sadducees and Philistines.
Jude 12-13  “These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves.

They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.”

Brown Brigade is descriptive of being scorched and rebellious.
Characters represented in the brown brigade include rebellious Israelites, Romans and Persians.
Revelation 16:8-9  “The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.”

If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword." For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.’

Characters represented in the orange brigade include demons only.
Mark 9:47-49 “And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where " 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.' Everyone will be salted with fire.”

Pale Green Brigade is descriptive of death and decay.  (NOTE: Cards from the Limited Edition series look green.)
Characters represented in the pale green brigade include rebellious Israelites, evil priests and Assyrians.
Revelation 6:8  “I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. with death, and with the beasts of the earth.’ “

Youthminister, RR's talking about what the brigades do, now what they represent.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

I find those more "Strategies" rather than the general theme of what it does.

Ok, gotcha. I thought it was more of a description of how the brigades were commonly used.

You left out a few key things to each brigade. That's how I'd divide it up. ;D
As a national champion, I support ReyZen deck pouches.

I think with our lists combined, it makes up a pretty clear picture of what the brigades do and represent...  :laugh:
