Are there enough cards now for an exclusively philistine defense? I was assuming it would be black. Why aren't there black versions yet of Lahmi, Saph and Ishbibenob? Weren't they Philistines?
My point is that I really like how they're strengthening the black Philistine option, but how many evil characters are there in this defense? If there are less than 6 or 7 it really doesn't seem viable yet, in my opinion. Please advise. Thanks!

For type 2 there are plenty of characters because a handful are generic. As for black philistines there are Goliath, twelve-fingered giant, philistine armorbearer, philistine garrison, the priest who is philistine (don't remember name). I'm not sure if there are any other black philistines, fallen warrior.
I think black is a good deck because of the recursion of characters and the searching of characters.

I have a deck that has worked rather well, with all but two of my seven evil characters as black Philistines. The other two are Simon the Magician and Lot's Wife. It has TFG, Armorbearer, Philistine Priests (incredibly useful card in many situations--negate Chariot before playing Wrath of Satan? Yes please.), Fallen Warrior, and Philistine Garrison. Four of those five are generic, which means they are recurrable with Outpost. I used to have Goliath in there, but he got the axe when I cut it down to 56.
So one could definitely put Lahmi, Saph, and Ishy in a deck if desired. Including Ashdod makes it so they can even use many of the good black enhancements. Also, don't forget Delilah if you want to add a bit more variety, and maybe include some nice brown site lock cards to go along with the already strong black site-lock cards for Phillies.

I like to use Ashdod and add in Delilah with Haman's Plot and Gibeonite Trickery. If I'm using Sites, then Land Purchase is another great card from Brown.

I think there is much philistine defense. Plus the defense of the Philistine really got popular beacause of the TeXP card Philistine Garrison. And if you put the weapon class enhancement philistine chariots and horses on him he then would be imune to lone heros, and be able to draw two cards and play the next card!

Yeah but then it would spread your enhancements out and then you would have to play different colors on different people. I have a philly defense and the only splash i have is KoT. Mine has Philly Garrison, 12FG, Philly Armor-Bearer, Fallen Warrior, Philly Priest, King Amon and Manasseh. It works really well. XD
