Just looking over the new set, I'm struck by how strong the new Egyptian cards are- especially for T2. No Straw is basically a Scattered, Evicted is another CBN battlewinner against 2 or less heroes, and Egyptian Treasures is basically a Sowing Bountifully and battlewinner for defense in one. All 3 of these enhancements are just evil gold so you can run 4 of each in T2.

Is anyone else worried about facing an Egyptian defense in T2? An advice for going against them would be appreciated!

Thanks! Taking out their characters before they get the chance to play those enhancements seems like a great strategy to me.  A problem though is that pharaohs throne room protects Egyptian evil characters in territory from discard.

It's an interesting thing to me – evil gold seems to have almost more interrupts and CBN  enhancements then any other evil brigade, and two different horses....it just seems that their characters are not as strong (thankfully!) - I would say this even applies to the new set, as well...the three enhancements are formidable, but the three new Egyptian evil characters aren't as much so.
