I've always seen Andrew, James, and John.

How many do you run in a solid Disciples deck? I'm running all the new ones plus Peter. Do you guys run more, less, or perhaps other purple/red heroes?

I run all 11 but I also am running Gardenciples and I have Best friends in my deck. Nothing quite like going in with Andrew, making my opponent think I've got nothing because it's a Gardenciples deck so I couldn;t fit any more in, then playing best friends to band in Susanna + 4 TGT girls. Also Any disciple adds 1 to the X on James the Lesser, Thad, and Boat

CoT is a much better use of Andrew's slot.

Crown of Thorns.  Since it decreases all EC's by 0/3, it's like dropping three more Disciples on the table for Thad.

Oh yeah I have that. It also kills a lot of pesky egyptians for TGT to work with Peter/John. Thanks for the input.

Any other cool techs people have tried with it? Is there a brigade it works really well with, especially OT? I'd like to fit in Valley of Salt...

Unfortunately, Disciples will not blend.  Other than a TGT splash, there's not really many interesting things you can do.

I found Disciples with red, mostly for centurions, to be pretty effective.

With the new cards would you guys run David's Victory, instead?

I hope you mean Bravery of David. If so, I would say that's probably a better choice nowadays.

I disagree. To use Bravery of Dave other than as a negate, you have to be warrior class. That limits you to just the centurions in an NT deck. Plus, unless you want to use David, it's not CBN against Phillys.

Yeah, I did mean that, thanks.

And I meant that instead of A soldier's prayer, not david's triumph. I like Bravery of David because it discards ANY evil character if used by a wc, not just a male human.

Yes, but if you use Bravery of David, you cannot use it on a Peter, Andrew, or Simon the Zealot except as a negate.

Yeah, it's for sure a trade-off. But a negate is still good, which is why My Lord and My God is still good.

ITB is just about as good IMHO and ML&MG doubles as a battle winner.
