Giants have 4 negates by my count. Foolish Advice, Devourer, Bringing Fear, and one that I'm missing (pretty sure, haha)...
Denying Blame.
there we go!
also, Pride of Simon is an interrupt, right?

If you plan ahead, it can essentially be.

Black also has Joseph in Prison, don't forget...

My problem is who wants to add three cards to there deck when phillys are easy to stop anyways.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #53 on:** June 02, 2010, 07:09:15 PM »

not easy to stop necessarily. good luck killing every last one. getting 3 souls off them? simple enough.

You must not have ran into the negates and outpost. even if you run into those the sheer Return abilty of phillies is Super strong!

yeah they have some neat tricks, but they still fall to the numerous CBN battle whiners(winners, whatever), FBTN chains(Except TFG who can be effectively dealt with). I know this because I play Philistines a lot and they still lose to some of the common offenses. Now I am no Gabe but I know my way around a deck. Philistines are not Broken. Babylonians IMO are equally effective, yet I see no cries to ban them.

The thing is with PO is that means 12fg no matter how well dealt with, will come back against FBTNB chains, cbn does have power but that means you'd need 3-4 cbn ITB cards etc. The main issue with Philistines is recur-able immunity, no other brigade has that. IMO Babylonians are MUCH deadlier than Philistines because they can capture defense but Philistines are no slack off either.

While that is true in a lot of cases, if you remove him from the game, he won't come back, if you convert him they have to discard him first before he comes back. I know they have a fort and art that stops capture and conversion combined but I have actually rarely seen it used in many of the philistine decks I have played against. Many people believe that Temple of Dagon and Altar of Dagon slow the deck down too much. However I guess this is this just my opinion.

it seems that everyone gave up on continuing the "Philly vs. Priests" battle scenario, but it seem that it could have been solved a bit easier. Assuming the Priest used for the RA was Josh the HP or Phineas, then this should work: block with Fallen Warrior, play Mask of Self-Glorification to kill Cov w/ Phineas, then punish them all with Wrath of Satan with Carcasses up! they can't destroy your Carcasses (because of their Lampstand) and Zeal and anything else they pull out can't be played due to Wrath's unnegateability.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #61 on:** June 17, 2010, 04:40:55 PM »

if somebody is stupid enough to attack with a carcasses up, yeah, they'd lose anyday.

marc · « **Reply #62 on:** June 17, 2010, 05:12:51 PM »

still, that's two rounds your opponent would leave you alone. and if your opponent attacked with Phineas you could play it as an Enh. and still pull off Mask and Wrath

that would do nothing. Phineas protects the characters in a territory from discard.

oh...tis true. but i use sites in my Philly deck so Satan's Seat would do do the trick. tho i dont remember Satans Seat being part of the original scenario...

I'm more worried about characterless than phillies anyway.

(On that note, you have a message RW)

RTSmaniac · « **Reply #67 on:** June 18, 2010, 02:15:24 PM »

If you play bringing fear first, zeal will still work on phineas or joshua or any character with The Sabbath

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #68 on:** June 19, 2010, 09:36:55 PM »

saw plenty of phillies at MN state. had no problem with them.

RTSmaniac · « **Reply #69 on:** June 21, 2010, 11:08:29 AM »
