We have yet to see the 2nd phase but my predictions for the meta next year is as follows
***they are ordered within tiers***
T1 defense
Tier A
Grey splash
Black/gold splash
Heretics
Herods
Pharisees
Tier B
Magicians
Sadducees
Greeks
Babylonians
Tier C
Egyptians
Assyrians
Emperors
T1 Offense
Tier 1
Purple/clay/silver tomb
Clay/purple/gold tomb
Clay/purple tomb
Tier 2
Judges/Priests
Straight disciples
OT Splash (The Deck Variations)
Throne deck
Genesis
Saul/Paul
Tier 3
Luke/John Samaritans
Deacons
Prophets
T2 people I think we all know
Defensive Heretics are the play initially but well find ways around it so it will lessen but Heretics is where it's at. Demons will creep on as the year goes it may be a 50/50 demon heretic split at nats.
Offensive Paul hidden treasures broken combo's

No love for my Brown Gates of Jerusalem defense... :'(

Lol probably shoulda been in tier 2 honestly forgot about despite the fact I ran it at nats
-
No phillies? I see how you are ;) haha joking. Honestly I think claysiples or my new nickname for them, MUDMEN with pharisee-saducee is the number one meta new deck. Although OT random splash may deserve a higher ranking in teir 2. Just my opinon :)
Thanks,

All of the new offense is vastly overrated. Clay is pretty weak as of this moment. Mono Disciples should be tier 1.
-
Yea!
-
I'm not convinced Heretics will be a Tier 1 defense in either type. I would put Philistines at LEAST at Tier C. Also, I think Judges will still be Tier 1, especially as many people expect to face NT offenses. And Judges have Ehud.

I understand your desire to call phillies tier 1 especially after the year you had but honestly I'd say site lock is a better description of your defense. Although your record speaks for it's self so who knows.
@Red I don't think clay is that good hence deacons tier 3 I think clay creates a splash in disciples with the silver and tomb is the way to go. NT splash

Site lock was a big component of my deck, but the real strength of Phillies is their staying power. I could take out all of my sites, an LS, and a Dominant, and I feel my deck would have been pretty good. I won't argue that they are a top defense, but certainly on par with Emperors and Babylonians.

Yea!
Hey Luke, I know you're new, but I've seen you doing this a lot lately. If all you're going to say is one word, or even just a few words, then it's not usually worth posting. If you agree with a post or find it funny you can show this by giving it a "+ 1" which is the little number and a + sign at the top right of a post near the Quote button. You can similarly hit the - if you disagree with the post (though generally we like discussion so making an actual post with why you disagree can help move the thread along).
Posting just to say "lol" or "cool" is considered spammy and that's why your posts have been getting a lot of - votes lately. Just wanted to give you a friendly heads up. :)

No demons at all in the top 3 tiers for T1? I'd expect to see some demons, especially when paired with just about anything else...
-
Que is the best offense in the game. Period. ;)
-
I had a T2 MP Que deck ready to go at Nationals but the world isn't ready for it yet. Maybe next year...
-
what is a que deck?

A deck that uses Que (http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/Que_(AW)).

A serious prediction of mine would either be straight clay or clayciples.

Straight Clay is vastly overrated imo. Clay disciples is very very good.

Pharisees are the meta

I know, it makes me so Sad u cee :'( ;). But on a serious note, if I had a play group nearby I would love to play around with clay. :'(

And defense.
On a side note, anything I do for T1 probably won't work. Because I'm hipster and don't go with the meta.
