theme1:sadds
theme2:persans.or emps your choice.
theme3:evil isearlites
theme4:judean kings(or whatever works with gates)
theme5:syirans
theme6:ayissans
theme7:herods
theme8:magicans

Magicians are definitely not underused, at least as far as I've seen. Same with Emperors. Evil Israelites really isn't a theme at all right now. Other than that, I agree with this list (except for the fact that the word Assyrians has been tortured and mutilated beyond recognition outside of context).

Where do you live dude? I like your meta. Pharisees for a norm. Emps not spammed to death. Sounds good.

Was that directed at me?

Anyway, here's a final list of the themes I think should be used:

Deacons
Daniel Heroes
Musicans
Non-SA Heroes
Warriors
Apostles
Non-ZT Priests

Sadducees
Persians
Judean Kings
Syrians
Assyrians
Herods
Greeks

And I think the matchups between brigades should be determined before the games are played, and one set of themes should be assigned to each player. For example, Warriors and Syrians should probably go with each other, etc. No more characters that are not from the specific theme can be in the deck than there are theme-specific characters in that brigade (meaning that if I have three blue and one purple deacon in my deacon deck, I can only put one more purple hero in the deck, but I can put up to three non-deacon blue characters in).

This is how I would do it anyway.

i like BBs list.

Take out Assyrians and Syrians and you're good. Also, just as clarification you can use judean queens as well.

Seriously, Assyrians are good. And used a LOT, especially here in So Cal. I will not give a pack to someone using Assyrians.

ok replace assyians with jehu's dynasty kings.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #31 on:** February 16, 2010, 11:24:11 AM »

Yes BB that was at you. I haven't seen a pharisee defense outside of my own around here, or online even.

I'm with LN. Remove assyrians/syrians. CBN p next? vs those other themes? GG.

I myself would add Pharisees and Demons (orange)

Red · « **Reply #32 on:** February 16, 2010, 11:26:24 AM »

what wrong with jehu's dynasty?

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #33 on:** February 16, 2010, 11:28:42 AM »

Well A Jehu's dynasty is limited, and B is encompassed in Israelite kings.

Red · « **Reply #34 on:** February 16, 2010, 11:37:58 AM »

but the theme is judean kings.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #35 on:** February 16, 2010, 12:05:40 PM »

Ya know, maybe you should make a poll somewhere that asks what the most underused themes are. Then grab the top 7 of each and use it for the contest.

Red · « **Reply #36 on:** February 16, 2010, 12:07:24 PM »

idk these are pretty underused.also what about allowing AIM/chesschat?

Ideally, this is the best. But by now we can pretty much get the same result with what we have from you guys anyway.

I never said Pharisees were a norm, just that they weren't underused as far as I have seen (which I forgot to mention is a quite limited viewpoint). I also never said that Emperors were underused. In fact, I said the opposite here.

As for taking out Syrians, I do not see why. I have never, ever, seen a Syrian defense used in a tournament by someone with two digits in their age (besides myself once). I hardly ever see Assyrians either, but them more often for sure. Maybe Pharisees would be a better choice, and Demons as well.

I see Pharisees used all the time,

All the time = Norm

I did goof on who the emps were at though. Red said that and I garbled it together.

Well, your definition for the phrase "all the time" is more strict than mine. "All the time" for me just means "a lot." And BTW, I never see Pharisees by themselves; they always have Emperors or Sadducees or Demons with them.

I guess it is. Sorry for assuming ours were the same, when I say all the time I mean 1/4th of the people I play use it.

Well, that is sort of what I mean (maybe a little less).

Perhaps "norm" then is the arbitrarily defined word. I define norm (at least in this case specifically) as being used more than any other theme, which Pharisees certainly is not.

Ah, Naw. I define Norm by something I can count on seeing within a tournament. If 1/4th of the players use pharisees, I have a high chance of hitting a pharisee deck then.

Jeroboam's Idolatry + a well-timed Watcher would be epicsauce. Especially due to King Jeroboam I's SA.

That'd be gigglefest.
