Welcome to the Official Redemption® Message Board!
I've played it with Babs as well. Crimson gets my vote.It is also playable with a self capture canaanite deck. (Black and corresponding offense for self targets)
Gray does have a lot of capture cards but the problem with Romans is that they usually don't get initiative to play first except for Roman Jailer. Gray capture cards:SnareDemonic SnareDeadly SnareSyrian VictoryNight RaidArrest in Phillipi
Roman jailer, proud Pharisee, namaan's horse and chariots, sabbath breakerThese all provide play first and/or good initiative to play a capture card.You can then also play Herod's sentries which is usually going to be a chump version of Raiders camp in and of its self. The biggest issue will be the protection from capture along with FBTN or character negation cards.Truth is everyone forgets gold but Potiphar with a pharaohs prison and Egyptian warden are solid ways to generate captures as well.
